Bands that you used to like, that you no longer do. (metal, pop)

One band i used to be a big fan of was AFI, but when i heard Decemberunderground i just felt alienated. They sounded more suitable to 15 year old emos rather than a maturing fanbase. They were great up to that point though.

Even some metal bands that i used listen to like Megadeth and Iron Maiden have no appeal to me anymore.
Then theres the usual stuff like Green Day, Sum 41 (lol) and SOAD.

I take it you don't like The Smiths then.

Zeppelin. A mixture of over exposure and being annoyed with their fans and airplay caused me to stop listening.

Wait what?

Not to be overly nasty but you are aware that your favourite band is Radiohead right?

Sum 41
Green Day
AFI
NOFX

and I was the type of person who liked one or two songs by a band, and thought I was a fan:

We The Kings
All Time Low
Saliva

I was so punk rock.

I don't really ever stop liking bands. I may stop listening to them regularly and I may not buy any of their new albums but I'll still pop on something by them every once in a while, even if just for the sake of nostalgia. Yes, this is even true for the self-titled Whitesnake album I bought on cassette when I was ten years old.

Deep Purple had some good ones, but they just couldn't expand their sound.

KoRn...say what you want, but that was some damn fine music to listen to before hitting someone on the football field. After Head left, they tried to be like NIN and it didn't work.
