"And the skinny people wants what the fat people's got..."

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.

Rush, Angel, Max Webster...$7.00 in Portland, ME.
A stupid reason to hate a band, to be sure. Which makes this list pretty meaningless.
I don't get into these kinds of arguments because everybody's taste in music is unique and based on their listening experiences. For example, I'm a huge fan of the music of Joanne Newsom, the harp player, but many find her music and her voice utterly intolerable. I think she's great.
CSNY
Love the music, despise the band
Yes Jane, and I have decided that you an ignorant Slut!!
Great White was deemed a fire hazzard.
Guess we’re not listening to much then? LOL!
You remember Max Webster?? LOL I’ve seen them too.
Now J. Geils was a band that could play live. I saw them as an opening act for Yes. Had no idea who they were but by the end of their set the whole place wa going wild. The only other opening act I ever saw that had that kind of an impact on the audience was Green Day.
Looks like NJ brucee was so bad he couldn’t even get on the list. :-)
Well, too bad for you.
This comes from the same people who tell us Trump is the most hated President of all time, so it need not be taken seriously. :)
Apparently he went nuts and went all homeless acting like a freak. Left his wife and kids at home or something like that. Whatever all his songs sounded the same because of his voice. They get some money and all the sudden he is above people. He will be broke if not already. I watched a doc on Rush a while back. Always they pert was a jerk but as it turns out he is very shy and don’t feel he deserves fame like that. Also went through a bunch of disaster in his later life and was partly why they went out for a while. There lyrics are out there but the sound is amazing.
It’s Nickleback.
No way.
When I was young and the party had come to an end, yet there were still some that would not leave, I would just put on an Iggy and the Stooges album.
Place would clear out in under 10 minutes..
I would like to see a list of the greatest unknown rock bands.
