Hated Bands/Artists you like

Completely agree. My favorite song is the last one, Famous Last Words, ironically enough :slight_smile:

Checking it out on you tube, I found Billy Joel - Q&A: Meaning Of “Famous Last Words?” and after answering, he finishes up with my second favorite song of his…

Billy Joel was also really cool when he let this guy play New York State of Mind while he sang it.

Yanni & pre-religion John Tesh.

Is there a prize for liking the most hated artists?

Required listening for anyone trying to get in a hippie girl’s pants, back in the day.

My vote is for The Fall.

Yoko Ono.

Not a big fan of everything she did, musically, but I have complete respect for her as a person and I do like some of her work. I know people who are far more into her stuff than I am.

I’m going to say Tiny Tim.

Metallica. Well, let me clarify : I actually *like *Load and Reload (or at least most of them) on top of the “classic” albums.

St Anger’s still unlistenable shit though.

It’s not that the Eagles in general or “Hotel California” in particular are bland, it’s that we’ve heard them so much that they’re too familiar.

I think that’s the case with a lot of these “hated” bands/artists: popularity leads to overexposure leads to hatred. The difference between liking songs or artists and hating them can often just be whether you’ve heard them more times than you’d want to.

I sooo want to drop a Big Lebowski reference here…:slight_smile:
Journey, Duran Duran, Nickelback, and the BeeGees. I would have died before admitting I liked any of them as a teenagerbut I’ve grown to like them over time.

Yes and Rush do not belong in the same sentence.
