Albums You Love by Bands You Hate

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.
 
I did the exact same thing. I used to think metallica was so much cooler than Megadeth. What a fool.



Yes.



yeah I lose respect for a band that can't stay together. They still rock.

Please do I would dig that alot.
 
;701417']Replace "A Rush of Blood to the Head" with "Viva la Vida" in the Coldplay post by Mr. Goth Glam, and you've got my feelings for them pegged.

And I usually don't care much for the Smashing Pumpkins, but Mellon Collie was a brilliant record that really showed off what they could do. Especially compared to their next two albums (Adore was a half-baked electro-goth experiment, and Machina an overproduced, indecipherable art-rock mess), it's brilliant.

Oasis' first two albums get the same reaction from me as well.

And as for the Pantera and Megadeth discussions that keep popping up here, I'm standing by everything Megadeth did before "Rust in Peace" and Cowboys from Hell/Vulgar Display of Power for Pantera (never liked Far Beyond Driven). Still, in the end it's gotta be Dream Theater or Kamelot when I want to listen to metal.
 
Pantera-cowboys from hell

dimebags riRAB are awesomely simple. I also love the solo at the start of cemetary gates. Either than that phil anselmo sounRAB like hes having a roid rage.
 
Andrea Bocelli. I used to think he was lame or something because my mom liked him. Luckily I've matured since then :laughing:

UnderOath. I kept hearing so many different opinions. Either "They suck, just some screamo band" or "They rule, best band xXEVARXx lolz" but I've formulated my own opinion: They're pretty epic.

Lady GaGa. She's a disease, and even I'm not safe! :love:

There's so many I can barely just think of more than a few examples really(seeing as I've acquired most of my favorite banRAB this way!), but Bocelli, GaGa, and the 'Oath comes to mind. Any takers?
 
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.
 
I've never enjoyed Megadeth, probably because I tried out their music so late in the game. By this time I had moved from Ride the Lightning and Vulgar Display (still love both albums though) to black metal. Proper thrash to me meant albums like Kreator's Pleasure to Kill and Bathory's first few. So when I finally decided to check out megadeth, it just seemed really watered down and bland. Especially the production irked me.
 
I have to go with Vulgar Display of Power for best Pantera album, but it's not an "album I love by a band I hate" because I really like Cowboys from Hell and Far Beyond Driven as well. After that...didn't pay attention (or before those three, for that matter).
 
You'll be happy to know it's nothing at all like Filth. If anything it has a somewhat folky thing going on. I would also recommend checking out Die Tur Ist Zu, if you haven't already, since I believe it was recorded during the same sessions of Soundtracks for the Blind and basically sounRAB like a continuation of that album.
 
I can certainly see where you were coming from but the European sound had always been a little more dirty and rawer than the more technical and polished American sound (generally). With European metal you had the aforementioned Kreator, Bathory and also Sodom, Napalm etc. The European sound was as much about production (or lack of it) as it was drawing from other influences. Whereas the American sound generally started to become evermore insular and ended becoming a clone of itself. However both scenes hit me as I grew up so I have always liked both.

AmiRABt this you had Sepultura blast out with Schizophrenia which is still probably their most raw and best album (it was their second but Schiz) really went off big time.
