10 Most Hated Musicians Of All Time

When talking about music, there's always those few bands that seem to transcend just a catchy tune. Instead of just throwing their songs on in your downtime, these musicians tend to feel like actual people whenever you listen to them, giving their own unique perspective on the world through your headphones. Though many people love their respective acts for this, that same positive energy can also be generated in the opposite direction.

For one reason or another, many different acts have managed to get severe push back from the musical community. Instead of actively enjoying their music, there are just as many listeners who look at these artists with scorn rather than adulation. Why, though? Well, sometimes it doesn't have to do with the music itself but rather what's going on around it. While there are some questionable music choices on this list, it also comes down to the way the act in question comes off to the public.

You can make something that sounds like the greatest thing ever produced, but if you end up sounding pretentious, conceited, or just an unpleasant person, that's not going to go unnoticed by your audience. These artists certainly do have their fans, and yet there are some people who would prefer if they never started to begin with.

Reason: LULU

Most people tend to dream of what happens when supergroups first get together. Since both respective acts tend to make beautiful music on their own, bringing them together is sure to be something special. Or at least that's what people would have thought were it not for acts like Lou Reed and Metallica.

Coming together to commemorate the anniversary of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the initial collaboration for the thrash legends and the king of art rock seemed at least intriguing at first. Once Lulu was unleashed though, fans got a real taste of how far each respective act could sink. In both respects, this album doesn't work to please either Lou Reed or Metallica fans, as most of the Lou Reed spoken word bits are all but drowned out by the massive riffs coming from James Hetfield's amplifier.

On the other hand, Metallica fans were probably not too enamored with this either, as most of the potentially great licks from the band are nullified by a guy saying some weird poetry over the top of everything. Still, neither party really went out of their way to bash it either, with both Reed and Metallica proudly standing by their weird creation for the sake of experimenting. Even though Reed has now passed on from this Earth, this is far from the first thing he should be remembered for.
