Metallica. I liked them up to and including the black album. After that they totally sold out even before the Napster incident, even though they claimed they never would.
Beatles did some very original stuff for the time. I would contest that they were "no talent hacks".
I like Nirvana.
Poser Band: Ironically, Metallica labeled Axel Rose a poser in a different way. When they were doing the mega-bands tour, Metallica made one comment about Axel being so annoying because he toted this ramp on tour with him where he would run out to the audience and deliver his stuff. Ulrich thereby dubbed them "Axel Rose and his Ego Ramp".
