Depends if the artist only makes shitty songs or not.

Prog rock. :zzz:
Brother!  :hug:

And I agree with: death metal, doom metal, and whatever-truce-and-morbid-word metal there is out there; rap is awful, too,and modern R&B, or what is called nowadays the music played by Rihanna and the likes.

Considering that Death Metal is a genre with a wide variety of styles from melodic over symphonic to progressive, technical or brutal, I find blanket statements to ban it all as useful as calls to ban all classical music - chamber, orchestral, vocal and opera. :P

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Drum 'n' Bass and Jungle.

Some Grime is fairly listenable, however (hell, it even got into the various Olympic ceremonies), so I'll give young folk a pass for now.

Also I would ban this new crap called dubstep. It actually makes me physically ill whenever I hear it. Every time this local car commercial comes on the ***WUB WUB WUB***gives me a headache.

Seconded.

Most styles that have been refered here have at least the redeeming quality of having some quality bands/ albuns to their honour.

Have to agree with the Black Bomber on this.  Growl Metal does nothing for me, Scanderhoovians screaming about Satan and burning down churches the same.  Still, there is melodic, symphonic, heroic genres that are quite listenable for fans of heavier things.

I don't. From the outside it all sounds like crap.

Don't think it should be banned though. :)

The thing about Death Metal and a lot of other genres is that they are pretty easy to avoid if you don't like them.  OTOH, stuff like modern country music (which gets lots of crossover hits), urban-contemporary, mainstream rock, and MOR pop are hard to avoid--you hear them everywhere, so if you don't care for them, you still get subjected to them.
