This is why I began my "Love or Hate?" thread, am listening to all the albums from this year (as per Wiki) and have started that Genre Gateway thread.

No, it isn't. How can you know how good or bad a band is without ever listening to them? There are plenty of bands I thought I'd hate (JAMC being a good example) but never listened to, then when I did, found out they were excellent. And others that I found out were terrible, but at least I listened to them.
