Albums You Love by Bands You Hate

A bit of a different spin on an old favourite.

What bands have you found to dislike for basically any reason, but still listen to their one gem?

For me it's Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power, this album just crushes the skull and is great for it. I can't get away with anything else by them, but Vulgar Display is just brilliant.

The Silence in Black and White....from Hawthorne Heights...I love it

Garbage -S/T. The rest of their output is bland but the debut is fantastic.
Happy Mondays-Pills Thrills and Bellyaches. nothing else come close.
Mastodon-Crack The Skye. What else I have heard of them has bored me rigid.

man i was debating myself whether i wanted to make this thread a few days ago, but it seems you've beaten me to the punch Comus

but yeah, when i got Arise from Sepultura, i didn't like it, but i recently got Chaos AD and it turned it completely around for me

"A Brief History of Rhyme: MC Hawkings Greatest Hits" - MC Hawking

I normally don't like nerdcore that much, but this album was pretty good, however I can't listen to it very often.

I like Rolling stones Sticky Fingers but the odd song aside never give them the time of day.
Led Zeppelin- 1st album for the raw jams and again apart from the odd song (Trampled Underfoot FTW) I don't like them at all.

Metallica - And Just for All...

The band had it right when they made this album. Something went terribly wrong with this band after shortly after.

Burning Earth by Firewind. Really good power metal, with very little cheese in comparison to other acts. After this album they got painfully cheesy

But have you heard their other stuff? I don't think I would say I hated a band if I hadn't heard most or all of their stuff first. Maybe now that you like Chaos AD you'll hear other stuff (maybe newer) and like it?

I'm having a hard time thinking of albums that apply here, personally.

yeah that's what i was saying, Chaos AD gave me some faith in the band, so i'll probably get Roots next
