Maybe not the most hated or anything, but I've seen many online comments that say The Who are a terrible band!
I don't understand why they get so much hate, as they're in my opinion one of the best rock bands ever, with some of the most powerful live performances in all of rock music!

Screw the haters, The Who are legendary!




Sorry if I'm overreacting, but I just get a little mad when I see people post hate comments about my favourite bands.
However, this is something that I'm trying to get over, because everyone's opinions differ.
But still, I don't care what anyone says. The Who are one of the greatest rock bands ever, case closed!

Who would say that The Who are bad at making music? Because in my opinion, they're one of the bands that are most impossible to hate. I think that anyone, other than people who always stick to their computers and post lies about this amazing band, would agree with me!

What foolish person would say that The Who are a terrible band? Anyone who says that probably hasn't even heard of them.
One of the greatest bands ever!

What I love Nirvana and I'm only 14! My favorite songs are Heart-Shaped Box and Come as you are. Kurt Cobain is my 4th favorite singer after Eddie Vedder, Layne Staley and Axl Rose. If people hate Nirvana, then why do they have a huge fanbase? They're just overrated and I think Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam are better than them, but they're really good but not great or legendary!
