Music—specifically popular rock music—can have a polarizing effect on listeners. One fan's favorite band is the one another person detests most. As head-scratching as it may be, there are even people who hate the Beatles. That's because art is subjective by nature, so it's difficult to assess with an analytical or mathematical approach. But that didn't stop us from trying to do just that. At Best Life, we set out to use data to determine the most hated rock band of all time.
Once we had our list, we looked at five key metrics, from expert opinions to fan surveys. To start, we looked at LA Weekly's list of the top 20 worst bands of all time. Then we turned our attention to Vice's list of the 123 worst musicians of all time. Since the list was not ranked, if a band was on the list, it got points added to its score; if it wasn't, no points were added. Then we looked at the top 21 most overly hated bands according to Ultimate Guitar, a popular music and guitar instruction website. Finally, we used two polls from Ranker, the 102 most overrated bands and the 421 worst rock bands of all time.
We then assigned each metric a weighted value* before running them through our exclusive algorithm to see how each artist scored on our 100-point scale Hated Band Index. Read on to discover which group was deemed the most hated rock band of all time, based on the numbers.

Oh God, I forgot that talentless hack was a fellow Canadian. For top Canadians I would put the Payolas and Platinum Blonde, and Loverboy. (top best that is)
I did too. My Christian friends disagree but I hate it that Bono tries to shake down countries for international aid.

Have you seen Robert and Toyah’s videos on YT?
They may very well be the best couple, ever.

Except for The Doors - they were scientifically determined to be awful.
I love RUSH and like the Doors.
Rush is number 3 in all-time consecutive gold and platinum albums behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Lists are for tourists.
Hey, it’s only rock and roll...mathematically, that is a 4 4 beat..

Above is some guy announcing the inductees to the rock and roll hall of fame. Lots of big names. Then he gets to “And from Toronto....” Talk about fans! (I love the looks on their wives’ faces.)
Rush, an acquired taste. Neil Peart’s drumming was always worth seeing .
Saw them with UFO, who opened, half the audience were UFO fans and quite boisterous compared to the Rush crowd, lol.
Hell it took them forever to get in and you can see the r and r hall of fame from Toronto on a clear day..
