Name a band that NO ONE likes...

Limp Bizkit....yes, I'm guilty of loving the first album when it was released.
But I was into anything produced by Ross Robinson at the time, and Sam Rivers can hold it down on bass.

At the time, Limp Bizkit was great. Heavy, catchy riffs with decent enough vocals. I was really into that. However, the music did not age well at all. Listening back now, it just doesn't do anything for me and almost sounds like a parody of itself. I still really enjoy bands of the era like Deftones, Korn, Staind, but Limp Bizkit has just run its course.

Singer was Kiki Dee. Truly they were bad. But, did ya know in the late 70's a punk band from Finland remade that song? They did it sort of sarcastically. And it was awesome!!! The band was Briard - later on the members of that band formed into Hanoi Rocks. So, even though Middle of the Road was horrible, they did inspire a a bunch of good stuff. Ya can never tell!

Don't forget Kiki Dee made an awful single with Elton John, which even Elton himself blames on a lot of drugs, and a period of bad choices.

One of my player pals used to say "nobody sh!ts ice cream".

But Phish...

Some people like Phish, evidently. Not people with sound judgement but they are still people with godly endowed rights according to our Constitution. I know a guy who thinks Phish is great and he even went to see them play live for money and of his own free will and he still gets to vote and own property. Yes, that guy is underemployed and high almost all the time but still, nobody put a revolver to his mouth and said "Like Phish Or Else", he just did it on his own. I know what you're thinking but that doesn't mean he should be incarcerated under today's laws. We tried to have an intervention but he is unwilling to be reasoned with.

As someone who also likes to be high almost all the time let me categorically say I have always despised Phish and jam bands in general. Sure I like a nice guitar or keyboard solo but that doesn't mean I want to hear you noodle around for 20 minutes and then sing really badly.

I can't even tell you how many times a nice hang out in college was ruined by someone saying "Put Phish on".

Yes, LimpBizkit, Hootie, the Village People. All groups that had a moment but once that moment passed everyone said, what were we thinking?

This band, because they were the antagonists in the show, whereas Jem and the Holograms were the protagonists:
