oh HELL yeah! Journey should probably have been at the top of my list. I hear their songs, and there is just nothing there.
I put Beatles because I have always detested the singing. I mean, like all former skiffle bands they were basically trying to copy the afro-american soul sound, and rockabilly, but unlike american bands I hear very little soul or blues in thier voices. Plus, they have this sarcastic quality to them (like Tori Amos). However, I do respect thier originality and influence on pretty much every other pop band. I prefer the beach boys, though!
Maybe I should list bands I like that most people I encounter hate:
Wayne Newton
Englebert humperdinck
Sammy davis junior
Sergio Mendes and brazil 66
Rush
Yes
King Crimson
Barry Manilow
Percy faith
Rush is probably at the top of the list for "cult" band. I mean, I love them..dearly! But I realize most people would say: there are no melodies and that guy's godawful screeching!!
I've always hated rush. The voice of course, but especial the lyrics. He's a good bass player, yes, but that isn't enough to cut it. But I do love King Crimson too!
I have to say that Led Zepplin is about the most over rated band in history. The only parts of that band worth anything were the drums and bass, the two parts which nobody gave a damn about.
My biggest guilty pleasure that everyone seems to hate is Jethro Tull. They've been my favorite since I was old enough to buy my own records.
