I've recently come across a rather large NIN & Mars Volta haters. I don't know why, but I guess some people hate NIN for the "depressing" lyrics, and The Mars Volta because their lyrics don't make sense to alot of people.

Other than that, probably only Good Charlotte (Fuck off, I like their self-titled and that new song, I Just Wanna Live, I think) and Otep.

I'm not alone!

As for NIN, I don't know how anyone can hate them, Mars Volta I can understand, but I do them.

[ROC]

The one band I like at all that all seem to hate is Hoobastank.

Their newest album isn't half bad, as the crappy stuff (Out of Control, The Reason) is balanced by some pretty good songs (Disappear). It's generic fluff, but I find that MUCH better listening than most songs on pop radio.

I also remember being a Creed fan...then I listened to Weathered and changed my mind.

[Liam]

I know that some Metal fans really dislike NIN, but other then that, I thought NIN were an accepted band really.

Mars Volta is a question of taste though...I love them, but can understand why some do dislike them...

[thuganomic]

I definitely agree with Reilly on Goo Goo Dolls.

I love Vertical Horizon's songs, but I don't think they're widely known at all

[apsham]

Add Garth Brooks for me, he's an amazing artist with an amazing voice but people rip on country.

George Canyon too.

[sirdavinator]

Good Charlotte: I only really liked Predictable, but I think they fall under this.

Linkin Park: Here, about everyone who's heard of Linkin Park likes them. In the US, though...

I grew up listening to Garth Brooks. He's awesome!

[The Slickman]

Guns N Roses - If there was no Axel Rose i imagine they would be well liked but without Rose there isnt a band

Coldplay's Clocks > Every song Ever Made I.M.O

And also Linkin Park

Meh, I have none of his CD's, as they were all my Mums/Stepmums.I'll buy some soon-ish, just so I can reminice (sp?).

[apsham]

I got bought a tape at a reletives yard sale and got them from then on, last one being Sevens, Looking right now at all music, I had no idea he created a persona as a rock artist and released a CD under that. o.O

Yeah, I knew that. Can't remember the name...Chris Gaines or something, wasn't it?

Never heard any of his stuff under the persona, though.

[apsham]

Yeah, Chris Gaines, I might try and see what I can find. It's a rather interesting concept.

[Evil Chase K]

Garth Brooks rules.

[tristy]

"Chris Gaines" is the only reason I've ever payed attention to Garth Brooks, truth be told.

I forgot the name of the song, but it's the song where he talks about the KKK & the Skinheads. Yeah, I love that song.

[livid]

Personally, I'm just going to have to say bands like Godsmack, Linkin Park, Ill Nino and Korn.

And although Godsmack has a hardcore fanbase (me belonging to it), they are still disliked because everybody accuses them of ripping of Alice in Chains. Now to say that they completely rip them off is bad, because they're just paying tribute to the band that got them into the biz. And everybody says that their studio stuff sucks, but it's not THAT bad. I've seen Godsmack live and I've got all their cd's, and although they're solid in the studio, they're absloutely amazing live. Like Zero said, if they come around you, GO! Don't hesitate, they're simply breathtaking live.

Linkin Park, we had this discussion like a week ago concerning them so yeah.

And really Korn and Ill Nino go together in this category. Lots of people critisize Korn (mainly Jon Davis) for being repetitive and being "nu-metal shit", but Korn revolutionized the American rock scene because of the way they did shit. Yes, their stuff isn't as great as it used to be, but it's still solid. And the reason why Ill Nino is with them is because people seem to think that they're a rip-off of Korn anyways, inspired by them to apparently "suck", but I like 'em. I'm sure people don't like Adema for the same reasoning but oh well, Adema's awesome.

But yeah, Godsmack really sticks out as either you love them, or you hate them almost. So be it, because I love Godsmack. Next to Killswitch Engage, Disturbed, Chevelle, A Perfect Circle/Tool, they're up there on the list of my favorite bands.

[Evil Chase K]

Yeah Godsmack's very unjustly criticized. I didn't really care for them either. Then I saw em open for Metallica, and they blew me away. Now I'm a big fan. Yet people still seem to say they're "false metal" or "phoneys" or whatever.

[GRIFT]

Coheed and Cambria... but that is just on this board.

You guys seem to hate Claudio!

[RawIsWar]

Linkin Park, we had this discussion like a week ago concerning them so yeah.
