I wouldn’t say I hate them, but I’ve never cared much for Blues Traveler. However, I do love “But Anyway.” ---

> [@Dread\_Pirate\_Jimbo](#): > > I was never much of a fan of The Cure, but I’ve always liked “The Love Cats.” A few years after that, they shocked me by putting out another tune, “Lovesong,” that I liked (Adele has a lovely cover of that tune on her latest album). I give her credit for picking the cover (don’t think that would be an industry pick), but the performance didn’t do much for me. I like “Rolling in the Deep” though. ---

> [@Proudest\_Monkey](#): > > Holy Shit! Maybe I need to listen to more Nickelback. I opened this thread just to mention **This Afternoon** by the aforementioned band. That’s four for them. Make it five. I don’t like most of their stuff, but “Savin’ Me” blows me away. ---

Too late to edit - the video of “Savin’ Me” is super cool — you can watch it without the sound, and it’s like a short episode of Twilight Zone. In fact, it was pretty much completely ripped off by an episode of “Medium.” [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/-s5xsn4G_1Y/maxresdefault.jpg "Nickelback - Savin' Me [Music Video]") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s5xsn4G_1Y) ---

I can’t stand the Doobie Brothers, except for “What A Fool Believes”- a perfect pop single that really floats my boat. I also can’t stand Springsteen, I just don’t “get” him. Except: I love “Hungry Heart.” Al Kooper has never interested me in the least, except for his fairly recent version of “This Diamond Ring” (which he wrote, btw). . ---

> [@Son\_of\_a\_Rich](#): > > Same here, except it’s “My Own Prison”. I actually liked that whole album when it first came out. I’m not sure how it would hold up to replay, though. My contribution is, indeed, Nickelback. ‘‘How You Remind Me.’’ And Smashing Pumpkins. ‘‘Disarm.’’ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/songs-you-like-by-bands-you-otherwise-hate/573785.md?page=3)
