What's the least-hated music artist?
i.e. when you say "I listen to <music artist>", practically no one would say "damn, your taste sucks"
Has to be a somewhat known music artist, doesn't count as least-hated if it's only because no one's heard of it
Pic may be related, I hardly know anyone who dislikes Arctic Monkeys
>>64158458
I really dislike the Arctic Monkeys
>>64158458
hahahaha
Of all the artists you pick shitty generic radio rock
>I hardly know anyone who dislikes Arctic Monkeys
You're in for some fun OP
>>64158458
But Arctic Monkeys are objectively bland indie trash
>>64158458
Maybe in the real world, but most of /mu/ dislikes them, and especially their last effort
It's going to be hard to find one because a lot of people just hate everything from a genre, but I'd nominate Jason Aldean
Arctic Monkeys haven't been remotely decent in 10 years. They're utter trash now.
Oasis
I don't think there are any. You can have very accomplished artists that are undeniably skilled and you'll still have people who will find a reason to hate them, or at the very least, just plain dislike them.
Sonic youth
>>64158470
You incapable of reading comprehension, autist?
I said "least hated", and no one really hates shitty generic radio rock.
Forgot to include that I was referring to real life people though, not /mu/ elitists, I'll give you that much
>>64158492
Considering their first album was 10 years ago - this is correct, they've always been shit
>>64158494
>>64158492
>>64158484
>>64158472
>>64158470
>>64158468
The fuck is wrong with you people?
Least-hated /= best-liked
Fuck's sake...
>>64158487
>Maybe in the real world
Yeah man, like I said here >>64158502 I should have included that in my original post, this thread's gonna be a shitfest now... Oh welp.
>>64158502
I "really hate" shitty generic radio rock.
>>64158493
Same goes for this shitty band too, bland pop to appeal to child-like men who drink lager and watch footy
>>64158487
This, Aldean is truly a man of the people
probably someone like Miles Davis
>>64158493
Nah. Brits still love them for some godforsaken reason. /mu/ only trashes them because montie spammed them all the time.
>>64158468
>>64158470
>>64158472
>>64158484
>>64158492
STOP
>>64158531
How the fuck are we supposed to know, retard? It's a stupid question to begin with. The best way to gauge who the "least hated" is would be to find an artist that gets practically no hate, and no one knows any of those.
>>64158539
>I "really hate" shitty generic radio rock.
Showing that you're not able to into reading comprehend again, Mr. Sperg :^P
>I was referring to real life people though, not /mu/ elitists
Louis Armstrong
A mainstream name that I never heard anyone hating on
>>64158458
I've been thinking about this for 10 minutes OP, and I think the best answer is Dr. Dre
I was going to say Pink Floyd, but lots of people hate the space jams, so I'm sticking with Dr. Dre
>>64158514
"I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor" was pretty good, but I really couldn't give less of a shit about anything else they've done.
David Bowie
>>64158539
Dont know what rock you've been living under but nobody IRL hates Oasis, everyone loves Wonderwall and Live Forever
I SAID MAYBEEEEEEEEEE
>>64158560
>How the fuck are we supposed to know, retard
Common sense, you dumb nigger.
I didn't say "least-hated on /mu/", I said "least-hated". Not like it's too hard to put one and one together and come to the conclusion that I'm referring to the whole populace and not just this board
No hate on /mu/ though, there ARE some sensible people in this thread
anytime someone brings up the arctic monkeys in conversation i typically mumbled "jesus christ" under my breath
though i do get a kick out of Do I Wanna Know each time it plays in a bar
shits catchy is all
>>64158591
Get out Montie
>>64158585
When they came out I was like "fuck these kids ripping off buzzcocks" then they went very bland and i don't even notice them anymore.
I did see them in concert a few years back, they were terrible live and I have no idea how that band was ever FOTM

>no one really hates shitty generic radio rock
Yes I do. What's wrong with that, or is babby gonna cry now his favorite boyband has been dissed?
You're a fucking retard by the way
>>64158609
It was because the NME was hyping the ever-loving shit out of them and they got two number 1 singles back to back off the strength of downloads (this was back in like '05 mind you), but yeah, thoroughly mediocre and vastly overrated.
>>64158607
im not monty
Black Sabbath or Nick Drake.
>>64158591
Anyone who's not a normie casual dislikes Oasis or else they're pretending to like music a lot more than they actually do.

He's not saying that you don't hate it, he's saying that it's more about regular people than /mu/ spergs who can't into reading comprehension
>>64158458
Pink Floyd I guess
>>64158502
They're so fucking shitty though oh my god, everytime I hear one of there songs its like The Strokes had a gay son
and I hate everything they stand for OP so your wrong and judging by the comments in this thread your wrong
>>64158643
Yeah you are fuck off
>>64158630
Fucking hell, you're one stupid motherfucker. Do me a favor and tell me you're trolling now.
At no point did I say I'm into Arctic Monkeys, and I'm not. I said that I know nobody who hates them.
It's like you read one word out of every post at the most and form some cringy bullshit opinion in your head based on it.
My own band. Literally nobody hates them because they don't even know we exist.
>>64158674
i hate them
>>64158668
>I know nobody who hates them
You do now, so fuck off
>>64158652
So come to a logical conclusion about what am I trying to say?
>>64158674
I bet people know my band less
>>64158651
yes you are
>>64158667
no im not
>>64158668
Seriously stop you're embarrassing yourself and moving goalposts further than you can carry
The least hated musical artist was David Bowie. He was one of the most famous and popular musicians in the world, and practically no one, not even the faggots of /mu/, every had much ill to speak of him.
Nine Inch Nails ?
Radiohead ?
>>64158531
Calm down, a lot of people don't like them
>>64158458
>I hardly know anyone who dislikes Arctic Monkeys
welcome to 4chan, bucko!
When with whites, say Van Morrison.
When in mixed company, say James Brown.
>>64158564
This. Miles Davis and Ray Charles as well
Why do you come to this board
>>64158737
Most reasonable people find Van Morrison to be pretentious rambling shite
>>64158737
When full browntown, say Kraftwerk, ironically enough.

Fuck you, you absolute fucking spud.

Ohh burn
>>64158782
im unty you uneducated pleb
>>64158716
this is actually true. I don't think I know anyone IRL who doesn't like him, though I know Keith Richards wasn't a fan
>>64158716
are you European? I love Bowie, but I think Americans don't really 'get' him... he's just too androgynous and weird for lots of people
I love him though, RIP

I love Sonic Youth, but really? You think random normies who listen to the radio will get Sonic Youth?
>>64158813
I'm American, and granted I've only lived in pretty liberal areas like Boulder, CO and San Francisco, but I've literally never met anybody here that didn't like him
>>64158868
dude my Dad likes Sonic Youth and he thinks Bob Dylan is a 0/10 because his voice is weird
>>64158868
true, most people I know can't stand SY, whether it's because of the weird guitars or the casual vocals
I can't think of a time when I played SY and a friend who heard it had a positive reaction. I have gotten everything from "Sonic Youth is overrated" to "this is just noise!" to "I just hate the vocals", though.

David Bowie
>>64159002
Not him but his post was made at 11pm my time so fuck off
>>64158589
I dont hate Bowie but I find the majority of his music somewhere between boring and annoying.
>>64158564
This. He's a lot of respect among the public and people who know how important he was to music. There's only a small population of dilatants who don't really get why he was such a big deal and so widely acclaimed.
the answer is Queen
>>64158564
This is probably accurate. The same goes for Marvin Gaye and maybe even The Supremes
Never heard a bad word about Queen.
>>64158458
My wife hates Arctic Monkeys because they had some stupid beef with Take That - how's that?
Here are some generally liked artists:
David Bowie
Iggy Pop
Tom Waits
Stevie Wonder
The Ramones
>>64160271
herez da thang 'bout freddy
>>64160271
not a Rolling Stone -reader, I see
plenty of people even on /mu/ find Queen to be thoroughly mediocre (although straight up dislike and hate is less common)

Yes, him and Toby Driver.
What a stupid question to ask on /my/ of all places. Any mention of any band, artist, song, album, genre, whatever and someone will come along and say it's shit. You're just giving them an incentive now.

Really, /mu/? I know we like to shit on them by virtue of being, by far, the most acclaimed band ever, but surely we're a microscopic minority?

>>64160359
For most of my life I didn't give a damn about jazz, and thought it was self-indulgent and boring. I tried to get into it, and listened to This Is Our Music by Ornette Coleman and A Love Supreme by John Coltrane, as well as some Sun Ra and Fela Kuti, and I thought they all had some nice moments, but still it wasn't as powerful as any of my favorites in rock or classical. Hearing Steve Albini and Tony Wilson bash jazz as self-indulgent bullshit was actually really gratifying.
Then I heard Django Reinhardt, and he was amazing. He blew me away more than anything else from his era.
Shortly after that I heard Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, and the first track just knocked me on my ass. It was the best album opener I'd ever heard. But hey, I figured the good stuff in jazz was still few and far between, and this was lauded as the greatest jazz album ever, so it was probably as good as it gets, right? I'd already heard and been underwhelmed by Bitches Brew a few years before, anyway.
Still, it prompted me to explore jazz, and then I randomly heard Let My Children hear music by Charles Mingus. This was the album that finally fucking blew my mind. It was more powerful than anything I'd ever heard in any genre, and I've been listening to music obsessively with almost autistic zeal since I was a child. It's still the greatest album I've possibly ever heard.
And then I heard The Shape of Jazz to Come, and it, too, is as powerful as any rock album or classical piece I've ever heard.
And that's basically where I am now. Nowadays jazz is pretty much all I ever feel like listening to. When I explore music, it's jazz. I'm looking for the next emotional high, looking for the next jazz album that's going to destroy me, just like I used to do with rock (mostly noise rock, post-hardcore, jangle pop, and goth) records.
>>64158458
Thin Lizzy.
No one hates Thin Lizzy.
>>64158458
Gorillaz?
The Beatles?
I would say minutemen, or the raincoats. I can't see how anyone would have a dislike to them. Especially minutemen
>>64161568
>haha maybe if i act like i hate music people will think i have good taste!
>>64161908
Minutemen is a good answer, but I think they benefit from the fact that no normies have ever heard of them
>>64161870
Thin Lizzy's also a really good answer
>>64160288
seconding Iggy Pop, though I've heard plenty of Ramones-bashing in my day
>>64159966
Bowie might be the ultimate answer
>>64161870
Thin Lizzy is one of those bands that make me understand completely were the negative notions of "dadrock" comes from. When dad puts that shit on, I bail.
>>64161900
>Gorillaz?
The number one go-to choice for when you're with normies and handed the AUX cord.
>>64161908
The Raincoats have too much dissonance for normies to get into them. I would never put them on among normies because I know they'd hate it.
>>64162031
>I think they benefit from the fact that no normies have ever heard of them
Until they hear Corona.
>>64162022
nope, I like the beatles
Memes aside, nobody genuinely hates classic industrial music.
>>64161870
Only good answer. I don't like them very much, but I can't find anyone would hate them.

Motorhead ever since Lemmy's death.
It's the most annoying thing. People used to give me shit for being a huge Motorhead fan, as part of a general anti-metal sentiment (and I'm not a big metal person, but Motorhead are fantastic).
Then when Lemmy died, it's like everyone became aware of how much respect Motorhead gets from musicians and artists, and all of a sudden all of these casual assholes have a faux-reverence for Motorhead, like it's a classic rock band. This shit is ridiculous
I have a friend that hates all music.
>>64162261
There actually is some segment of the population that derives no pleasure from listening to music, even if they do derive the typical psychological and physiological benefits from it.
One interesting thing - for deaf people who have received mechanical hearing implants, they find music deeply unpleasant and often irritating, though it seems like that's mostly to do with shortcomings of the technology.
>>64162252
Same thing for Dio shortly after his death.
When I heard about it my reaction was precisely literally who senpai
>>64162139
It's like you haven't met an actual person in ten years.
>>64158458
>>64162252
I was more surprised at how normies seemed to give more of a shit about Lemmy than Bowie. Was expecting Lemmy to get so brushed aside no one would remember he even died in the first place.

>One interesting thing - for deaf people who have received mechanical hearing implants, they find music deeply unpleasant and often irritating, though it seems like that's mostly to do with shortcomings of the technology.
Probably because they listen to fucking pleb shit without any prior indoctrination to like it.
>>64162294
My friend likes to listen to music, but hate all the musicians. She finds picking up the guitar or anything and making some sound really stupid. I agree with her while i enjoy my stupidity.
>>64158458
i haaaate the arctic monkeys
>>64162389
sounds evoke emotions, and can take you to emotional highs. They can affect the way you think.
Music uses sound to affect you, just as novels use words to move you, or films use images. If making sounds is stupid, then making art must be stupid in general. There's actually an ancient Chinese philosopher named Mo Tzu who would agree with your assessment, but I for one strongly disagree.
>>64162460
Her argument and my feelings toward it is defiitely not an intellectually and logically sound argument. However , my anti-social and cynic gut tells me otherwise. I suppose our argument is more connected with the definition of stupid rather than definition of art and music.
>>64158458
Not to turn into Reddit, but I serioudly don't think I've ever met somebody who doesn't like at least a single track by Queen.
>>64158547
Most people (myself included) hate that kind of jazz
>>64163922
I really don't like Queen. Under Pressure is the only song I like and I'm not sure if that counts as Queen or as David Bowie
>>64164029
