I'm really glad you joined DVDtalk to start such an intelligent discussion... I fucking hate birtish indie bands too...they just pale in comparison to their British counterparts.

Styx. People my age (40s) mostly love them still. I hated them in high school, hate them now, will always hate them. Luckily my wife agrees or it might have been a deal-breaker.

After the mid 70's the Bay City Rollers were pretty much universally hated.

People still listen to Styx? I was shocked when I learned that they were ever popular. Same with REO Speedwagon (although they had at least a good song or two)

I'm afraid I truly enjoy listening to REO's stuff... so my opinion may not be valid. Having said that, my choices:
Paula Cole. I really hate her voice. Her lyrics, if you take a moment to listen to them, are ridiculously pretentious and annoying.
Alanis Morrisette's voice and fake persona circa 1997 irritated the crap out of me. The whole "I'm a wicked tough girl... who whines and yelps a lot because I got dumped" thing that was manufactured by her handlers drove me nuts. She seems much more tolerable these days.
Jimmy Buffet, I like some of his classic period stuff, and I understand he's more of a business man than a musician, but two decades of "parrothead" shilling has become toxic. Nobody has beat a dead horse like Buffet.
Eric Clapton. He's done too much good stuff in his (distant) past (along with a bunch of crap) for me to fully hate him, but the unplugged version of "Layla" from his latter days has broken me inside. If I hear that bland, narcotic, going nowhere, fake blues strumming with the sleepy "I'm just here cashing checks" voice again at my gym, I'm going to pull the speaker off the wall. He should have kept Cream together.

1. Journey and Boston
2. '80s "hair metal" in general - Poison, Motley Crue, Ratt
3. That new wave of British metal crap like Iron Maiden and early Def Leppard, and I'll tack Judas Priest in there as well
4. James Blunt
