Bands you love that people hate

Winner of the thread goes towards anyone who admits they like nickelback.

anyway,

I dont care what anyone says, I think Creed are great. Im the kind of guy who appreciates music for music, not because "oh this band is such a rip off of blah blah and blah", that kind of attitude is pedantic and pretentious and you should be ashamed of yourself.

So yeah, I like creed. Sephiroth probably likes creed too. So if you bag me you're bagging sephiroth.

[Mystyrion]

Does rappers count? Because if so I could go on for days.

And the winner is... drum roll... none other than myself.

I do in fact like Nickelback, they have some truly great songs. I find all this hate to be just another internet fad. I'm also fed up with people bashing "We Are The Fallen", "Evanescence" clone or so they say which I would be fine with if "We Are the Fallen" didn't have majority of former "Evanescence" members including Ben Moody, founder of both bands, they hardly can copy their own style.

[noxious.sunshine]

Probably Bjork.

Then again, not many people around me listen to her like.. at all, to know if they hate her or love her.

[Heartless Angel]

I don't mind Nickelback. Not a diehard fan or anything, but they have a few good songs. Not sure why they get so much flak, there are a lot worse musicians out there. I don't really listen to to anything that I know everybody else straight up hates, though a lot of my friends think my bagpipe metal is weird.

Moral of the story, long live the bagpipe metal!

[Crescent]

I like alot of songs from Linkin Park. It doesnt concern me whether and why other people like them or not or generally agree or disagree with my own personal tastes in music. Fkng pointless. I also loathe rap except for the old school ones like Gangsters Paradise n others I cant remember right now where the lyrics were deep and profound not about how 'eager' you are to manwhore,bang "bitches" left, right n center.

Hehe Not to be fooled by His appearance but based on my understanding of Sephiroth's personality and character, I cant see Him showing interest in anything other than orchaestral/instrumental/classical music(that and/or complete and utter ambient silence)n maybe preferred a bit more darker, heavier, ominous orchaestral pieces post-Nibelheim lmao much like his main theme song, One Winged Angel from AC...



See. >XD

[noxious.sunshine]

BOO. Nickelback. lolz.. Dude sounds constipated when he sings.

Sorry.

Creed would be too goody goody for Sephy. Seriously. It's all about loving Jesus and stuff. Do you think Sephy lurves Jesus? Probably -not- considering he wants to take over the world and kill everyone and be violent. And stuff.

Sephy likes that one band. Slipknot. Yeah. I can see him liking Slipknot. And the heavy/dark/orchestral whatever stuff someone up tharr mentioned.

[Tallulah]

I don't mind some of Justin Bieber's stuff... Please don't kill me... :/

I didn't mind 'Baby' as it was pretty catchy, or should that be catching, like measles. Or the Plague.

'As Long As You Love Me' was about as meaningful as he gets. I held off listening to it as I thought it was a cover version of the Backstreet Boys song, but it's actually pretty deep. Any other Justin Bieber song is pretty inane...

[RagnaToad]

I guess for every band I love there's someone out there who hates them, or at least doesn't like them.

I don't think there's a band or musician that I like that is being 'hated' right now.

Never grovel to anyone I still like "One Time" n "Somebody to love". I blast that shiz(sometimes just to piss off my neighbours) lol really is catchy tho. Dont know anything bout Creed or Nickelback.

[Rowan]

Dont know anything bout Creed or Nickelback.

here is a song by creed. This sentence meets 30 character limit now.

[Bubblegum]

Some of Nickelback's songs are actually pretty good. There I said it.

[Josh_R]

People love to talk shit about Avenged Sevenfold, but I am quite a big fan of them. Same goes for Lil Wayne. Everyone talks shit about him including me, but secretly I listen to him all the time.

[Clint]

People like to talk shit about Dave Mustaine. He is one of the most hated people in the music industry, but Megadeth is the single best thrash metal band of all time. Dave Mustaine's reputation was the only thing I could think of.

Most of the music I listen to, nobody has heard of. Being a musician myself, I don't go by what's popular, I go by what's good. Most good bands, nobody has ever heard of, but since people are so into crappy music nowadays, I'm sure plenty of people hate the kind of bands that I like.

[Pete]

I get crap for listening to Clutch and Drive-by Truckers all the time. I love em both, but people cringe when they hear them come on in my truck. I'm ok with it, because when I ride in their cars I listen to their music, some of which I can stand, some of it I cannot. The rule is, your car, your music.

[ZantetsukeN]

Only one I can really think of is Skrillex. I don't love his music, but I always get crap for liking some of it.

I'm not sure of any others really. Although, do people still hate Limp Bizkit? If so then I count them as well.

[noxious.sunshine]

Hanson.

Yes. I love them.

That "Penny & Me" song is just. omg.

There's another song that has my name in it - from their first album. I think it's called "Yearbook" but I can't be sure.

I saw them in concert one time. They rocked.

[loaf]

Ke$ha

[noxious.sunshine]

OMG I LOVE KE$HA!!

She's from Nashville! ^_^ - more specifically, Brentwood. Which is literally right down the street from my neighborhood (Antioch).

She got annoying for me for a bit, but then "Die Young" came out and I fell in love all over again - and then her t.v. show on MTV. I have immense amount of respect for her now.

[Assassin]

Two bands that a lot of people I know don't like are Linkin Park and Paramore. I never really understood the reason I mean they're so awesome. Their lyrics are extraordinary and the music is out of this world. People also don't like Evanescence, which happens to be my favourite band, coz they find their songs too creepy or depressing. I mean there is so much life in their songs it's stupid not to like them. But I guess it's just because people don't know what's good music any more.

[Epicpenguin13]

I like Bruce Springsteen and U2, and I know a lot of people like to hate on them. Especially U2 with their iTunes global release "Songs of Innocence." But those two are also well loved, so I'm not sure if I should list them as candidates.

[Rocky]

honestly I like a lot of the bands that are on the Fueled By Ramen record label, and a lot of them are ones that people would give me shit for, like Fall Out Boy, Yellowcard, Jimmy Eat World, Gym Class Heroes, Panic at the Disco, Cobra Starship, and so on. They're a guilty pleasure of mine.

I also listen to a lot of random rap like Black Milk, but most people have never heard of the stuff so it's more unknown to them rather then them hating it.

[Howling Wind]

I actually like Nickelback >_> Maybe I didn't at one time and don't get me wrong, they aren't a GREAT band but I think they are better then people give them credit for. Sure, maybe their songs kinda sound the same but when you hear a nickelback song, you automatically know its Nickelback. I guess some of their songs can be annoying XD but a lot of the songs on the albums have somewhat meaningful lyrics. A perfect example is "Too bad" from silver side up or even 4 you from their first album.


What?! DON'T ACT LIKE YOU NEVER FOUND AT LEAST ONE OF THEIR SONGS CATCHY!

[HUNK]

I'm feelin' Rocky on the "Not hated, but not really well known"

I listen to lots of older music or really off the wall stuff that no one's ever heard o , lots of the stuff I like that no one else likes is actually great music, just not popular anymore so very few people give a shiz. I love me some Jefferson Airplane, 1200 Micrograms, Justin Bieber (like one song anyway) and all kinds of music. People tend to hate more for not liking popular music than for liking other music.

[Odin1199]

Alot of the old music is better than the new one, but people always listen to what's popular and trendy. Never let the trendy people get to ya.

[Rocky]

I unironically like Death Grips. Please do not think less of me, I know their fanbase is trash :[

[Josh_R]

I am a pretty huge fan of Volbeat an for some reason all my friends hate them and say their sound is generic and trash. I ****ing love it though man.

Also this thread needs some Lil Wayne in it.
