I didn't see the Eagles anywhere!

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.

Only a limp #18 but Canada still comes through with Nickelback at #1. :)
Agreed...a friend of mine would wet his pants over Creed, and I will never understand it...Creed SUCKED.
U2 faltered when it became the Bono show, I saw them in the early day and they were great.
They opened for J Geils
I’ve always despised U2.
While I agree with your sentiment, Kiss sucks.
Rush was hated by the music Establishment...the music Critics, the so-called Intelligentsia...
But, no band had such an enduring and growing following as Rush geeks brought their children and even grandchildren to their ever-improving and sold-out concerts...til the end...
Over 40 years of the highest quality music and sound...
The love remains...
First, we scoured countless lists, message boards, and articles on the most hated bands to see which groups popped up the most frequently, eventually landing on the 21 bands on this list.

I can't wait for these geniuses' article on "climate change" and "mask use."
Did you actually see them open for J. Geils? That would have been amazing.
Their music is great. But when I was young I did a friend a favor by going on a double date to keep her boyfriend’s best friend busy. And for some odd reason (he had many), he thought he could sing just like Geddy Lee. It traumatised me and for about 40 years I hated RUSH. Only now can I appreciate the talent.
Hmmmmm, wonder whatever happened to that guy?
Of bands that made the big time...Rush, Styx and Journey in a pick’em
I didn't see the Eagles anywhere!
Well said.
It was amazing, 1982
Can I nominate Green Day? Pure vomit.
Yea remember the days when concert tickets were less then $10
Chad was a major jerk. My old man was surveying on his property and he shows up and asks his guy with him who my dad was. My dad is the nicest and best man I know, and my dad offered his hand and said his name and Chad ignored him standing right there and told his guy to remove from the property (which he couldn’t, as he was supposed to be there) and then when told so, stomps off like a petulant child.
I had another buddy of mine throw a party, he’s buddies with the default band, so they invited Chad simply so I could have some words. The Lower mainland in Southern BC made that guy and he needed a reminder.
They’re also a terrible band heh.
As a side note, I think it’s hilarious that the Dixie Chics call themselves the Chics now haha.
they were number 12
Never cared for Rush early on, before youtube, etc. But later, I wondered why, and started watching videos, and now believe they are incredible!
Rush was a garbage band who loved preachy, psuedo intellectual lyrics and the lead singers voice was slightly better than nails on a chalkboard. If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice? I decided they sucked.
I love joe walsh but hated the eagles.

Sappy saccharine crap
