Members cearleywine Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 for me it's U2. I love their 80's stuff but can't stand most anything past Achtung Baby. What about you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 Haven't been a band fanned since The first 4 Zeps. Period. Don't even know Houses or Song Remains - recognize a smattering of the recognizable riffs but that's it. Since then it's been individual tunes, the majority prominent enough to get to my ears - major radio IOW. Do not otherwise care for the respective bands so there's no hate involved unless I had bought their (more often than not) disappointing album(s).

Members 6topher Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 I feel the same about U2, but bailed after Under a Blood Red Sky - I also quit listening to REM after Life's Rich Pageant. Probably shows my age & era, but I felt both bands veered stylistically in a drastic way after those records. My favorite band with a bad drummer: The Meat Puppets are a band I have always really liked, but they really had a very poor drummer in Derek Bostrom. 2 classic rock bands that I like the 1st half of their careers are Tom Petty & Aerosmith - No interest in Aerosmith post Run-DMC comeback & only like earlyTom Petty before he discovered that strummy hit making style. I am a huge Who & Keith Moon fan, but am only really a rabid early Who fan - the later 70's stuff that gets big & excessive is hit & miss for me. But I couldn't be a bigger fan of early mod Who up 'til Tommy or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rdrummer322 Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 There are several bands that their first album was amazing, and their following albums were dissappointing. I guess all of their creative juices were shot in that first album. It's not a matter of hating, because a lot of times the bands faded away after the non-success of album 2. A prime example of this is Captain Beyond, a MUST listen to anyone considered a progressive rocker, just from the historical significance (remember the year it came out 71-72, and what else was happening in music at that time). The album cover itself is one of the most collectible in album history. Their second album? Boring. Done. It may be shock value, and then failure to continue innovation. Felt a little the same with Emerson Lake and Palmer, amazing first album, Tarkus, their second, though good, but the shock value of innovation was gone. It wasn't really hate, just dissappointment that obviously excellent musicians failed to continue pushing the envelope if that makes any sense.

I cant bear to listen to anything new they put out. I still buy it, though...but never make it through the whole cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mraia3 Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 Rush. Anything beyond Moving Pictures bores me to tears. Their new one is really good, but I just dont care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zildjian@consol Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 I agree with the rush and U2 mentions ,but also UB40,when they started doing a lot of covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kmart Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 There's a ton of bands I loved that I no longer do, but hate is a bit strong... I don't hate most recent U2, or REM to use two examples already mentioned...I just don't care for or consider it.But I don't think it's any surprise when a band has a couple albums that I consider great/amazing, or even just good/decent, and then falls off. That's actually to be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gremson Posted August 25, 2012 Members Share Posted August 25, 2012 As far as bands turning {censored}ty after a certain period of time... Incubus is the first that comes to mind. Pretty much any classic rock band that started in the 60's or 70's. If they were still putting out music in the 80's and 90's, it was horrible.

Members lsits Posted August 26, 2012 Members Share Posted August 26, 2012 Queen for me. Anything past "News of The World" I didn't hear unless it got played on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bucksstudent Posted August 26, 2012 Members Share Posted August 26, 2012 The Eagles. My mother od'ed me on them growing up, but I still love "Life in the Fast Lane," and get nostalgic when I hear some of their songs. I dislike their obvious attempts at commercialism, being the band version of Jimmy Buffet, their justification about taking down Youtube covers, etc. Joe Walsh is badass, though.

Members Merlin Coryell Posted August 26, 2012 Members Share Posted August 26, 2012 Nightwish: I really got into the epic stuff they had till they fired their singer. The new girl just cant carry their older tunes at all. And theyve become so teen-emo-ified, such is the way of getting monies from Hot Topic tshirts instead of CD sales though.

Members FitchFY Posted August 26, 2012 Members Share Posted August 26, 2012 King's X: My total favorite, but their last few CDs have had some moments. But also great moments... Incubus: anything after their third album was poop Korn: I really like their newest album, but what band secures one of rock's greatest drummers (Ray Luzier) and then makes him record a crappy "angst" album and then something half-programmed?!? Staind: When they're heavy and "on," it's so killer. Then that ballad tripe... More tomorrow... great thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members drumsdb Posted August 27, 2012 Members Share Posted August 27, 2012 I like this thread, but it also makes me ashamed. I'm going to pull out 2 of the most "modern" examples... of my love/hate bands. #1 - Creed - Love the BAND, hate the singer. But I like the music enough I couldn't reconcile my disdain for my appreciation. THANK G_D for Alter Bridge fixing that!! #2 - Nickleback - Another +1 for a solid as hell band and great songwriting...but lyrics that make you want to stand up and jump off a cliff. It only takes 2 ingredients to write Nickleback lyrics... rhyming and a topic related to sex. I'll write some Nickleback lyrics now, off the cuff..."I really want to know, how far that you will go, I'd really like a blow, job you'll never show...Until we have a chance, that finally we should meet, we'll go between the sheets, you'll feast upon some meat." If my name was Chad Kroeger, I would have just made a million dollars on those lyrics. DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FitchFY Posted August 27, 2012 Members Share Posted August 27, 2012 Primus - a band I love the ingenuity of, but sometimes they're just too off the grid for me. Not sure what a live show would actually be like... Metallica - obvious reasons Muse - they're so creative and pushing boundaries, but their last two albums have fallen painfully short for me Maroon 5 - Songs About Jane is a GREAT album with some awesome sly funky to it, and everything past that is lame.
