There are so many, I don't want to list them all, but I'll start with John Mayer. He sounds like he went to Target and bought the biggest bag of cotton balls available, crammed them into his mouth and started "singing"..... Terrible.

dave mathews. as a guitar player i respect what he does, but what a freaking snooze fest.
Anyone whose primary source of beat, rhythm, etc. is sampled from music previously released by another artist. Anyone who relies on someone else outside of their band or group to write their music. Anyone whose first song released was a cover or rise to popularity came as the result of a cover (Exception: The Black Crowes).

Well, I dislike pretty much all pop music, most "alternative," all country, and most R&B/hip-hop. But because I just tend to avoid that kind of music, I never know what artists are popular and worth mention.
But I will absolutely agree with Dave Matthews. Everything about him and his music is just awful.

I'm with Vols, although I'll add that I can't stand most rock either. It'd be easier to list the popular artists that I can stand. I really just don't like most music at all.

Aren't you a producer? Irony look no further.

Yeah, I'm a super narrow niche guy. All the music I listen to has to involve a downtuned 7-string guitar, a 2nd drummer or drum machine, and originate in a valley near Uppsala, Sweden.

I don't like John Mayer's pop songs, but he is an excellent Blues guitarist and very reverential of Blues standards.
Case in point - takes Jimi's song, does it in Jimi's style, and makes it his own. Granted, half of his audience leaves to powder their nose when he breaks out one of these songs, but they wouldn't appreciate it anyway.
John Mayer is an incredible guitarist but I hate all of his music for the most part. It's amazing just watching how much fun he is having playing the hell out of his guitar.
Can't stand Bruno Mars, all country music, R&B for the most part, Lady Gaga, anything made by the guy who produced Friday and that Thanksgiving song, and Nickelback.

Justin Bieber pretty much takes the cake. All of his songs are garbage.
