Most hated Bands/musicians you like

[KefkaCultist]

Well I listen to a lot of music so I have many bands that I personally like that have a vast majority of hate too.

Just to name a few: Creed, All-American Rejects, Black Veil Brides, Hollywood Undead, Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, My Chemical Romance, Smashing Pumpkins, Sum 41, The White Stripes, A Skylit Drive, The Devil Wears Prada, and Abandon All Ships.

As I said, I listen to pretty much everything so people give me crap for my itunes library a lot. Especially since a lot of the bands I listed are like emo/screamo/pop-ish/whatever bands and I listen to mostly metal.

I love Andrew WK, and I've never met anyone else who can even tolerate him.

Also, I really like Slipknot and I almost never tell anyone, because I'm afraid of the reaction I'll get (although I do understand, they can be pretty ridiculous).

Lastly, the Frogs tend to get VERY strong love/hate reactions from people; luckily, I've gotten mostly positive reactions.

Andrew WK is completely awesome. Follow him on Twitter, the dude's hilarious.

I'm a big fan of Dream Theater, and while they don't always get a ton of hate, the people who do dislike them tend to be pretty vocal about it. The haters seem to think DT is just a bunch of instrumental wankery, which does happen on occasion, with no real talent.

Thanks. I'll check out his Twitter. Love his interviews already.

I've seen Dream Theater twice. Once in 2003 with my cousin (who is a much bigger fan) and in 2006 on Gigantour. They were great in 2003 (when they played songs from their entire career), but they bored me on Gigantour (probably because Dillinger Escape Plan and Fear Factory had just blown my head off). I really like Images & Words and Awake, but I haven't really given their other albums a chance. In that genre, I tend to gravitate more towards Opeth and Mastodon, although Opeth could use an editor sometimes.

If you liked Awake I'd recommend Train of Thought and Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence for their heavier edge. Scenes From a Memory is pretty amazing too.

Daft Punk
What i don't understand is most of my friends like dubstep and hate Daft Punk granted i don't like dustep either so i guess it balances out

Chumbawamba. Not for tubthumping. That's an aberration. They're actually a pretty good peace punk band.

Metropolis Part II: Scenes from a Memory is probably my all time favorite album. The music is phenominal, the concept is fascinating, and it just blows me away every single time. I love Dream Theater, but an old friend once told me that most people who like Dream Theater are a bunch of douchebags who hate everything that isn't Prog Metal. So yeah, they catch a lot of flack.

On a different note, I don't get why so many peope think other people hate Disturbed. Sure I've heard of people who don't listen to them, but I have never run across someone who flat out hates them. The worst album they've made is Asylum and even then it's still decent, just not amazing.

I love Slipknot, and Silent Hill 2 is my favourite game. YE-AH!

Also, Korn and Marilyn Manson.

Yahtzee steered me towards Silent Hill 2 I also really liked the first one (which I actually think is scarier, although not as deep or as well-written). I haven't finished 3 or Shattered Memories yet, but more from lack of time than anything else.

I got Korn's first album in October 1995 before anyone I knew had heard of them. To a 13 year-old, that was some heavy, intense, depressing shit. I still liked some of their other songs and albums, but I don't think they ever topped that first album. I tried to listen to their latest album in the car a few weeks ago, and I turned it off after 5 songs. That type of angst doesn't work anymore for me, especially coming from a rich 40-something.

As far as Manson goes, I still think Antichrist and Mechanical Animals hold up really well. I may have to hear some of the other albums eventually. I also think he gives a pretty entertaining interview.

Discovered Silent Hill through my old step brother in 2003, and really got into it when 4 was released in 2004. Loved it ever since, and was pleased to see that Yahtzee likes it so much too. I find 3 the scariest, but 1-4 are all excellent. The latter three are good games, but I don't think they fit into the series.
For Manson, Antichrist is my favourite, and Mechanical Animals, Holy Wood and Golden Age are all excellent. His last two albums were okay, with some good songs on them, but nowhere near the caliber of the Triptych or Golden Age. I saw Manson live about a year and a half ago, and his shows don't pack the same punch they did before.
As for Korn, the new album was alright, with some solid tracks but I agree that some of the themes are a bit overdone and don't appeal to the their old fans.

You know, this strikes me as really weird. I would get dirty looks from my peers when I said I preferred things like Jazz and techno over bands like Korn and Slipknot. Almost everyone I knew was into that kind of music at the time.


Maybe people outside my age group hated those bands, but from my experience it seemed like those bands were very, VERY mainstream among my schoolmates (the boys anyway).

The people I associate with like other types of metal and don't see them as "real metal" or focus too much on shock and aren't "real musicians". Either that, or they don't like metal at all and are horrified at hearing it. I do know people who like these bands, but they seem to be quite the minority.
