sublime
guns n roses

I know this is sacrilege to most rockers but for some reason these bands make my skin crawl. Never got why everyone jocks them so hard.

I may regret saying this, but Hendrix. As a songwriter I think he's great (but not THAT great) and as a guitarist he just doesn't do it for me.

This is a stupid topic, sorry guys but it is.

Let's all rag on music that we didn't like but others did.

Taste is subjective. If this is still news to you guys then maybe you should just give up on music now and become a critic.

i agree with this list, but i will swap out Eminem for Public Enemy and De La Soul and Eric B and Rakim

other than that - the genre should be erased :D
