As much as I hate participating in another "bands you like suck" thread,
I'm intrigued by the possibility that either a universally loved or hated
group exists.

Since we're limiting the question to the CURRENT scene (and therefore
excluding The Beatles, Jellyfish, etc.), let me nominate a few current
artists and see if anybody will dare to knock them out of the
"universally loved" category.  In NO particular order:

Matthew Sweet
Squeeze
XTC
Owsley
Splitsville
The Merrymakers
Myracle Brah
Teenage Fanclub
Cherry Twister
Aimee Mann
Sloan
The Vandalias
The Shazam

Well, at least you know where MY tastes lie . . .

As for the "universally disliked" class, Pearl Jam is disqualified for
appearing on the Audities Best of the 90s list.  I'm probably wrong, but
I don't know that anybody here would admit to liking these:

Michael Bolton
Mariah Carey
Celine Dion (oh PLEASE let it be her!)
Whitney Houston

I'd name more, but I tend to ignore music I don't like . . .
