The current members include Mike Shinoda (vocals, keyboards, rhythm guitar), Brad Delson (guitar), Dave "Phoenix" Farrell (bass), Joe Hahn (DJ), and Rob Bourdon (drums).

This band is extremely repetitive generic guitar riffs, boring lyrics and downright mediocre singing. This band gets appraised way too much. At best this band is ok but not like top notch stuff to me. Seriously though Green Day, Foo Fighters and Shinedown don't annoy me as much as this horrendous band does.

This band is and always has been annoying. I barely stand to listen to even one of there songs. I understand that many people enjoy them and I respect that, however I cannot stand them.

Linkin Park IS overrated and I hate their music but WHY IS Avenged Sevenfold ON HERE THEY ARE A GREAT BAND AND SHOULD NOT BE ON THIS LIST AND Linkin Park SHOULD BE NUMBER 1 THIS LIST

2 Avenged Sevenfold Avenged Sevenfold is an American heavy metal band, that was formed 1999 in California. Their longest lineup of members was M. Shadows (Vocals), Synyster Gates (Lead Guitar), Zacky Vengeance (Rhythm Guitar), Johnny Christ (Bass Guitar), and The Rev (Drums). ...read more.

They're one of the best bands ever! But they get annoying after awhile.

I totally agree with this list what is so good about A7X anyways?

They are ok for a while but they get annoying if you listen to them constantly

Maybe, maybe not. who cares? I like their songs.

3 Limp Bizkit Limp Bizkit is an American nu-metal/rap metal/rock band from Jacksonville, Florida, formed in 1994. Their lineup consists of Fred Durst, Sam Rivers, John Otto, and Wes Borland. They're mostly known for their singles like Break Stuff, My Way, My Generation, Nookie, Eat You Alive, Rollin', and Take a Look Around... read more

Linkin Lark gets on my nerves from time to time, the only thing annoying about Avenged Sevenfold is their fanbase, Slipknot is the same as A7X, but with a less annoying fanbase, I haven't heard enough CoB to consider them annoying, Bullet For My Valentine is AWESOME, Disturbed is good except when the singer goes "Awk, awk", Jonas Brothers aren't even rock, Marilyn Manson isn't quite as annoying as Limp Bizkit, I've never heard any songs by Bring Me the Horizon, but I actually cringe when I listen to Limp Bizkit's cover of Behind Blue Eyes.

I have to say their guitar player Wes Borland ain't bad. But Fred Durst is the least talented person in music business ever. No doubt about that.

By the way I agree that Marilyn Manson should not appear on this list. Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical Animals are two damn fine records. Even though the more recent albums - I don't know.

Why are these guys here they are awesome

4 Nickelback Nickelback is a Canadian post-grunge band formed in 1995 in Hanna, Alberta, Canada. The band is composed of guitarist and lead vocalist Chad Kroeger, guitarist, keyboardist and backing vocalist Ryan Peake, bassist Mike Kroeger, and drummer Daniel Adair.

All their songs are exactly the same, they're okay...for one or two songs but they become annoying after more than that.

The hate on this band is more annoying than the band themselves

Why isn't this #1? Every song sounds exactly the same!

What can I say? I really hate their guts.

5 Bullet for My Valentine Bullet for My Valentine are a Welsh metalcore band from Bridgend, formed in 1998. The band is composed of Matthew Tuck (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Michael Paget (lead guitar, backing vocals), Michael Thomas (drums) and Jamie Mathias (bass guitar). Former members include Nick Crandle and Jason James; both were on bass. They were formed under the name Jeff Killed John and started their music career by covering songs by Metallica and Nirvana. Jeff Killed John recorded six songs which were not released; two of these tracks were reworked later in their career as Bullet for My Valentine. Financial difficulties dictated the name change, which was followed by a change in music direction. In 2002, ...read more.

They are just such an annoying band! I mean, no offense to people who like them, but they suck. They are weird emos. Nothing compared to most Metal and rock bans.

My friend had there album and was playing it in his car. I was utterly appalled by the so-called " music ".. should be labeled "trash"

6 Bring Me the Horizon Bring Me the Horizon is a British rock band from Sheffield, Yorkshire.

I can understand why people don't like him, but in my opinion, he shouldn't be on this list.

Why are they on this list? I love their music.

Number 1, worst band ever.

9 Cradle of Filth Cradle of Filth are a British extreme metal band that formed in Suffolk in 1991. The band's musical style evolved from black metal to a cleaner and more "produced" amalgam of gothic metal, symphonic black metal and other extreme metal styles.

We will show no mercy and kill them all against these posers

Ruined Hallowed Be Thy Name

10 Jonas Brothers The Jonas Brothers are an American pop rock band. Formed in 2005, they gained popularity from their appearances on the Disney Channel television network.

Sure they're not metal but way way way worse than most of these bands, they deserve the number one spot

There not even rock or metal. They have their own genre called "annoying Disney washouts"

Forget about metal, not even rock, they are "nothing"

Not even rock nowhere even near metal

The Contenders
11 Disturbed Disturbed is an American alternative metal/nu-metal/hard rock band from Chicago, Illinois. The band comprises vocalist David Draiman, bassist John Moyer, guitarist Dan Donegan, and drummer Mike Wengren. They are known for songs like "Down With the Sickness" and "Stricken".

12 AC/DC AC/DC are a Australian hard rock band, formed in November 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young, who continued as members until Malcolm's illness and departure in 2014 . They were fronted by Bon Scott until his untimely death due to alcohol poisoning in 1979, after which they hired Brian Johnson ...read more.

One of the only songs I like from this band is the iron man one. The rest of them just sound like my great grandma trying to sing without her dentures. It sounds like a raspy hobo trying to sing for spare change. I guess that they at least deserve some change for their effort.

Totally changed the hard rock scene. Wicked vocals (Brian Johnson and Bon Scott), great riffs (Angus Young), sick basslines (Cliff Williams), awesome rhythm guitar (Malcolm Young), and smashing drum playing (Phil Rudd). I don't get how you people could just trash these hard-rocking pioneers.

Worst voice in all of heavy metal/rock. They are annoying and way too overrated, and angus young is a poor excuse for a guitarist. Way to make use of those 3 chords in every song, Angus. I mean really? A chord, D chord and the E chord. Repeat. Horrible.

Everyone is like *yay I love rock music! * when they play ac dc on the radio but there are so many bands way better than those Australian - yeah whatever... - and they've never even heard of them!

13 Steel Panther Steel Panther is an American comedy glam metal band from Los Angeles, California, mostly known for their profane and humorous lyrics, as well as their exaggerated on-stage personae that parody the stereotypical 1980s "glam metal" lifestyle.

Bland and not even funny. Buff said

Their songs usually carry a message of acceptance, believing in yourself and being individual and different. Among their most well known songs are "Knives and Pens", "Rebel Love Song", "In the End" and "Fallen Angels".

Terrible band, their fans are even worse.

There good they have some meaning in there songs but I guess its like

Twenty One Pilots?! More like Twenty One Losers! First of all, they're not even rock nor metal cause they don't have a guitarist and a bassist. Second of all, all their songs sound the same and they're not even creative at all! I love creative bands like Gorillaz, Queen, Pearl Jam, Guns N Roses and Alice in Chains! These bands put effort into their songs unlike Twenty One Losers! Finally the drumming is fake and Tyler Joseph voice sounds like a chicken! AT LEAST you can call hair metal crap a metal sub-genre (even though it's WAY more pop than actual metal or rock)! The reason they're famous is cause stupid emo and scene tween and teen girls think they're rock! WELL get a life and listen to some REAL rock like Guns N Roses, Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam! Don't listen to these boring, lame rock posers! 21 losers are pure pop, alternative pop and indie pop, not rock at ALL, nor are they good.

Christangrant and the COMPLETE BASTARD THAT CALLED TWENTY ONE PILOTS TWENTY ONE LOSERS WHO IS PROBABLY NOTHING BUT A KID NO OLDER THAN TEN is completely stupid saying that Twenty One Pilots isn't rock or metal and that they don't have a bassist or an electric guiatarist. I mean dude hvn't any of u heard Jumpsuit? My Blood? Heathens? Heavydirtysoul? Nico and the Niners? Along with a lot of their other songs? I mean Twenty One Pilots lead singer Tyler Joseph is also their lead guiatrist and not just electric guitarist, I mean he can play the bass guitar too and he's also their lead pianist/keyboardist and Josh Dunn is an amazing rock drummer who deserves to be among the ranks of Lars Ulrich, Eric Singer, and Peter Criss and sure Twenty One Pilots does sound pretty different from other rock bands, like the ten year old bastard suggested, but that's because they're emo/ screamo (screamo is a genre of metal and some of their songs are screamo) alternative rock, which means they are still ...more

Tyler Joseph's voice is just painful annoying.

Apart from hard rock they are also associated with heavy metal... read more

Axl is fat and old and gets out of breath trying to sing anymore. And no slash so basically every good thing about them is gone.

20 U2 U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin. Formed in 1976, the group consists of Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. U2's early sound was rooted in post-punk but eventually grew to incorporate influences from many genres of popular music. Throughout the group's musical pursuits, they have maintained a sound built on melodic instrumentals.

The hate is more annoying. At least give a reason why you don't like them.
