The Fray -
I don’t care for the lead singer. He sings too close to the microphone and possibly without a spit screen. Although, he might be deep-throating it and the spit screen is rendered ineffective. He’s ultra-breathy but I think it’s on purpose since teenage girls like it.
I know singers are taught to open their throat when they sing but he’s bordering on Dudley-Do-Right.
Finally, he’s not attractive. He looks like a balding nerd. Sort of like Dr. Green on ER. Yet girls scream and scream when he starts to sing. I would actually find this redeeming if I found his singing style pleasant since I become frustrated with good-looking untalented singers but in this case it makes me like him less. It sort of makes me feel like he’s stealing a prized and rare rockstar spot from someone who truly deserves it.
Finally, whoever writes their songs leaves a lot to be desired. I always found it cheating to rhyme a word with itself.
/rant
Who annoys/pisses you off and why? Or you can argue my tastes and tell me how much you love Dr Fray Green, Balding-RockStar-Breathy-deep-throat-the-microphone-man.

Guttural Engorgement.
There are no lyrics, just a deep BRREEEEEE the whole song.
I don’t have a problem with it, seeing as how nearly every song in all of their albums are breakdowns. Still kind of annoying though.

That James Blunt moron, who actually kind of reminds me of the Fray, annoys the hell out of me.
Also, I dislike most of the poppy, young girlish music. "Artists" like Lady Gaga and Hannah Cyrus are fucking annoying.

Crunkcore. Bands like BrokeNCYDE, 3Oh3!, The Millionaires, etc.
Plugging in an iPod full of pre-made songs and dancing around to it while singing half-assed "lyrics" is not music. I hope the next time either band plays a show, the venue collapses on them and they all will finally die.

lol overlord, I love the fray song "How to save a life." I have to say though, I wouldn’t recognise the lead singer if he walked up and slapped me in the face!

Agreed. But I was looking for some instrumental versions of their songs because some of them have crazy beats. I didn’t find much though.
And Brokencyde is the WORST.

The most horrible band I’ve ever heard is
Siouxsie and The Banshees.
For those that have never heard of them, here is their song that almost made me shoot my radio.
"Peek-A-Boo"

I hate about 98% of the stuff on a massive rock radio station here. It’s in a few states. Fuck it’s terrible. Even the stupid arrogance of their ads pisses me off. I could listen to it for a while and write down all the bands if you want, but I’ll kill you if you make me do that.

"Peek-A-Boo"
(Beavis, nasal voice): Hey, Butt-Head, sometimes I play peek-a-boo with my wiener! Peek-a-booooo!
(Butt-Head): Damn it, Beavis, put that away!
My vote would have to be Boyz II Men, or, as my black, alcoholic, marijuana smoking friend called them, Men IV Boyz.
Unfortunately, Michael Jackson’s legacy has to include the truly shitty turn popular music took in the late 1990s. Get some eeriely interchangeable teens or twentysomethings, teach them to lip sync synthesized bubblegum pop music while flitting around on stage like synchonized robots, and you have a license to print money. There should be a recent production of The Mickey Mouse Club to pick members. Boyz II Men came before this, and may have been marginally more talented than NSUCK or the Buttstreak Boys, but they annoyed the shit out of me.
First, those fuckers are still around, and trying to sell new records as a Motown tribute band. They haven’t been boyz for many years, so the name sounds creepy when attached to thirtysomething men. Consider New Kids On The Block, reuniting recently. They look like your tenth grade geometry teacher if he put on dark shades, but they’re still the New Kids, on the we-need-money-reunion tour.
When I was in the eleventh grade, two girls, aged 17 and 16, were working in a restaurant one night, with the doors presumably locked, cleaning the place after closing. They let in two girl friends, aged 15 and 13, to horse around while performing their jobs. At some point, according to police, they opened the locked door and let one or more other, unknown, people in, who murdered the four girls, cutting their throats, and tried to cover their tracks by setting the place on fire. I spent many years working shitty service sector jobs like that, and pretty much treated it like a goof, but there were certain lines I would never cross, mostly the ones that would get me fired. This is a good example you don’t let your friends in after closing, or even open the locked door for any reason.
Anyway, the murdered girls were the age of normal high school students, so most of us took at least a passing interest in the case. But out came that fucking song. The prerecorded disk jockey voice as added to the beginning of the song, announcing this was dedicated to the memory of the four murder victims, which he listed by name. This gave me just enough time to hit a preset button on my stereo head unit and change the station, lest my 1981 Granada be subjected to "It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday." UGH!
I had to smack some sense into one of my friends, who would protest when I turned off that song. It was being dedicated to murdered girls who were our age, kind of attractive, and might have had sex with us under the right circumstances, after all. I eventually convinced him the murdered girls might have had sex with me, but never him, and "It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday" was a lousy song, overplayed, and a boner dethroner at that. And if I were to die, I would hate for someone to dedicate such a sappy song in my memory. Eventually, someone broke the window of my Granada and stole my stereo, so that was the end of that song, at least until the insurance payoff, which I spent on a better stereo.
In 2009, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania became the largest American city with no black radio station, when some wealthy religious meglomaniac bought WAMO and pulled the plug. There’s dead air on that frequency now; they’ve got one year to construct a new studio and start broadcasting or the license will be forfeited. Long story short (too late!), can you guess the final song played on their last broadcast day? If you guessed "It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday," step up and claim your prize. I think it’s a bag of marbles; red ones, green ones, and blue ones too.
I don’t pay close enough attention to music on any level to be annoyed by any current acts.

I love your writing, H-Dogg. And if one of these days you decide to enter one of my contests for one of my shitty prizes you might win one! Speaking of which, there are 3.5 hours left in the contest.
