Bands that give you the creeps?

Gagaryn

I'd never consciously thought of this before but I recently became aware that James, or more accurately, Tim Booth makes me feel uncomfortable. Dunno why - he just gives me the creeps. I don't even need to see him, his voice on the radio is enough.

Any band featuring David Van Day.

Miley Cyrus

Radiohead

any number of "boy/girl (manufactured) bands"

 

Mostly though if a band/musician/singerist creeps me out, I avoid listening to them.

All fingerstyle guitarists that have horrendously long nails. (soz guys )

Phil_aka_Pip

Space is insufficient. Let's just say most of the pop/disco/funk/punk/NewRomantic/"R'n'B"/*-Metal/Rap/HipHop/BoyBand/GirlBand acts since the early 1970s

RocknRollDave

I know what the OP means about Tim Booth...although I do actually like James and Booth is a captivating frontman. Great live band...but I don't have any wish to meet the guy.

Bauhaus

No, can't ever bring myself to name the band.

Sparks.

Tim Booth was excellent as serial killer Victor Zasz in Batman Begins

For me it's most prog and metal bands - generally any that take themselves too seriously

Why? Was the whole band convicted paedophiles?

Radiohead. 

Damon Albarn. 

Keith Harris and Orville. 

Black Lace. 

Fake Bavarian 'Oompah' bands who wear lederhosen and all the gear and sing lewd songs for people to get blind pissed to. 

One Direction. 

Anything Simon Cowell has had a hand in (especially Olly Murs). 

The Minipops off Channel 4 c. 1983. 

Belle and Sebastian.

Trying not to be sizest or anything unPC like that...but Beth Ditto really scares me.

JAYJO

Dead or Alive (Pete Burns)

Divine

Iggy pop

lou Reed

richardhomer

Suede

Nick Cave. I know that's part of the plan... I can't listen when Mrs Mudslide is around because she says it's too creepy.

Deadman

British Sea Power. The Levellers. Arcade Fire. Coldplay.

Deadman

...and to echo @Gagaryn's post. JAMES.

ICBM

Any band where the singer is shouting like they're in pain or have totally lost the plot. This rules out a lot of heavier music I would possibly otherwise like, I know. (Just picked up an album at random the other day from a band which falls into this category - Atreyu.)

I like James though, I don't get that at all.

For the record I always found Rolf Harris slightly creepy too, but never suspected anything more than that...

DulcetJones

A lot of 80's acts seemed to go out of their way to be creepy.  Culture Club, Fad Gadget, and then there's Marilyn Manson.  I like some of Ian Drurys music but the man is a little creepy.
