Bands I like that people on this forum tend to hate:

Nirvana
U2 (up until after AB)
Guns N Roses (up until Izzy left)
Pearl Jam
Soundgarden
Alice in Chains
RATM
AC/DC
Muse (Origin and Absolution anyway)

Unpopular musical opinions thread - "I like Guns N Roses"? Meh, I'll bite.

I don't think people on this forum hate Nirvana or Muse, and I think there are far too many grunge fans that adore Soundgarden and Alice In Chains.. I've never noticed hate for them.

But I like AC/DC, good fun rock 'n roll. GNR first album was good but I wouldn't listen to it these days.. errr, I've never really thought I listen to anyone that most people would hate.. Certainly never noticed any bands that I like that others don't.

Brand New! They could be a band that people might dislike? I love me some Brand New though

I think Zooropa's a fairly decent album (Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car's a really good song), but otherwise I fall into line when it comes to hating these guys.

What! No! I've never seen dislike for them here. I would have noticed, they're my favorite group.

@duga: I was going to respond until I realized I don't really know what to say to that. haaaaaa...

I really liked U2 in the 80's and I still have a soft spot for their music from that period.

Placebo

For some reason there tends to be a general animosity towards the Barenaked Ladies which I've never been able to understand. Honestly out of all the poppy mainstream acts they are one of the best, especially when you compare them to the likes of Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber who stagnate the airwaves. Most people only know them for their singles, but if you actually take a chance and listen to a full album, you might be pleasantly surprised by what you hear.

U2 not the band in general but it seems all the hate is for bono
