Name a band that NO ONE likes...

Uhh Primus sucks!

Ok, seriously...

Strapping Young Lad

Turbo Negro

Lord Tracy (doubt anyone even knows of this band)

I know who Lord Tracy is. I even have there concert DVD "Live from the Basement in Dallas 1989". Kinley "Barney" Wolfe played bass in that band, he was an entertaining bassist to watch. They had a video on MTV, when they still played music videos, for the song "Out With The Boys". The front man Terry Glaze sang for Pantera before Phil Anselmo. They fall into the one album and done group for the most part. They released a second album in 2008 that went nowhere. Probably not so much in the not liked category, but the not well known as you stated.
Cheers,
Mike

I have never figured out Nirvana. Pedestrian songwriting at best. Sure, it was full of teen angst, but the teens listening to it were white suburban middle class. What did they have to be angry about? One more Nirvana album could have had such future classics as- Mom's late for soccer practice, Volvo's busted, Lost my place in line at Cinnabon.

I was never a big Nirvana fan - I liked them casually. But I give Kurt Cobain mad respect - when my guitar students would ask to learn his songs they made no sense. The chords he used just don't go together in any way we're taught in music theory. And then he managed to weave creative melody lines on top of that. Say what you want about their "agnst", but those songs have far more craft to them than most of today's formulaic pop/rock..... and don't even get me started on how formulaic country music is....
