What is your all time favorite rock band or artist that 81% or more of this bored dislikes?

The Police lyrics thread got me thinking of a new idea for a shitty YellowSnow music snob thread /pole.

With that said, what is a band or artist that you think is outstanding and amongst the all time greats that most (i.e., < 81%) here think suck?

For me it's the Grateful Dead which are my all time favorite American rock group. But from what I can gather over the past 1.5 years of research we have no other Dead fans and most are either meh or hate them outright.

Harv was a Dead Head?

Harv was a Fishmonger
 
The Eagles may be hated enough by now to qualify

80's hair metal too

Ratt. Severely underrated.

Ratt had the musical chops. I barely remember them from the radio ca. 1990 six months before Seattle music snobs declared hair bands toxic but I got into them in colllege.

Some of the songs were stupid lyrically but so were 70% of 80s songs and 99% of what passes for pop music now.

Greatest INXS song ever.[/b] Springsteen's cover is solid too.

And Squeeze has some of the best lyrics ever. Completely overlooked band. Deserves more props.

Agreed re: best INXS song, despite Hutchence shamelessly ripping off Mick Jagger's fagginess throughout the entire video.
 
One of the best concerts I ever went to was Social Distortion in a shitty dilapidated warehouse in Dallas in 1988 or some shit. Cool story, I know.

Saw Social D at an End-Fest concert on the Kitsap Peninsula, along with Candlebox, They Might Be Giants, X and a couple other bands. X blew everyone else off the stage that day.

Similar experience in 1982 Grand Slam Summer Jam with Bryan Adams, Joan Jett, Loverboy, B.O.C. and headliner Foreigner. B.O.C. blew everyone else off the stage that day, while Loverboy reminded us all how lame Canadians are, in general.

Best Concert ever? Prince. Hands Fucking Down. Best Live Performer I ever saw.
 
Bryan Adams before he sold out

Patty Smyth before she started fucking Tennis Tantrum Boy

Some mag, Rolling Stone I think, tagged him as the "Canadian Boss" after his 4th or 5th Album. (I had them all). He's lucky he survived and made anymore records after that and it's shameful that his doubly shitty song from Robin Hood was his biggest hit ever.
 
I totally plagiarismed @GrundleStiltzkin 's shitty concept of "songs / bands I like that no one else does" for the old men here.
 
Used to have all their albums - things you lose in a divorce. Strange that she would want them...THE FUGS
