i don't know: -linkin park -evanescence -hilary duff -toby keith
and i don't like outkast and r.kelly.

I heard most of Linkin Park's record and all of Evanescence's and they are both shit.

My rocker mates all seem to loathe Evanescence with a passion... even more than Linkin Park and the Nu-Metal genre as a whole. Any particular reason for this?

Yes, so much so that when I first heard their first track I thought it was Linkin Park with a female guest singer. I'm not the only one who was mistaken this way either...

most of these acts are upsetting in how crap they are, but easily ignorable by me. But 50 cent and r kelly are really, really awful, so bad it acutally hurts when i listen to them...and the was the public seems to cum all over coldplay is really pissing me off as well. if your looking to find out why so many people like them i would like an answer as well.

Well, perhaps because they're awful? :) Seriously, they combine all the forms of whiney rock angst and wrap it up with such banal pomposity and hysterics that they can induce huge amounts of loathing within seconds. And yes tolstoyed, they do sound very similar to LP when they do the "metal" thing, half the album is taken up with dreadful insipid goth ballads though.

50 cent rules r.kelly sucks testicles norah jones i can't handle. poison to my sensitive ears i would prefer to listen to coldplay backward as if it were them icelandic guys who do the 15 minute songs of whom i cant quite think of the name.
linkin park makes some (and i stress some) ok songs: in the end for example.
evanescence as the others say are like linkin park, however limp bizkit beat both.
outkast i like except for the fuckin hey ya song. hilary duff shouldnt be singing cos she's an actor. toby keith i ain't heard of. mmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyeeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! and beyonce is too hot !!!!!!!

actually I liked that performance... made me consider buying their new album... but I have their last two, and don't listen to them much so I haven't... I really want to get the new Outkast album(s) though... the two singles are kick ass fun, and there is nothing wrong with fun music...

that woman in evanescence (amy lee?) has a great voice, such a shame they sound like Linkin Park with female vocals. Maybe she would be better off solo and working with some decent musicians.

I think Amy Lee is hot for some reason, as fake as she is, and that's Evanescence's only asset. The only album I've heard in its entirety here is Outkast's, and I heard about half of Coldplay's. Lists like this are disheartening. I don't even know who Toby Keith and Hilary Duff are...

Dido sold the most with 2.1 million copies, but the Chillis were second after the sales of By The Way and Greatest Hits. The singles chart makes for even worse reading...
