bands that no one dislikes

Ive never met anyone who says they enjoy prog music and say they dont like king crimson.   i think that a few of the bands like that are   king crimson yes and even though theyre not prog, no one really dislikes zeppelin.   i know im speaking in generalitys but does anyone have a real disdain for those bands?   im sure theres alot of people indifferent to them though.

few proggers dislike rush,jethro tull

There are lots of people who like Kansas. Certainly more than most of the Avant groups (even the more popular ones), which are rarely mentioned outside of the RIO thread.

I love your sig. 

Thing is if your first introduction to a band is their worst album even the greatest of bands could be in trouble,  first impressions can in a subtle yet influencing way change how I perceive an artist  I love a few bands even a bit of a fanboy take Kansas for example (a band I have always admired) if you let me hear Drastic Measures first I doubt I would have liked Kansas much after that but I heard Leftoverture first and I was sold. So to sum it all up show me a band that hasn't released a so so album from their  decent sized catalog  and that's the band no one dislikes  I believe.

I never get to disliking DT, I always fall asleep before 

Now seriously I couldn't miss this occasion for a little fun, but it's good to know that I'm not a DT basher. I've seen some excellent stuff from them on YouTube, much better than what I've heard on their albums.

No one dislikes Dream Theater? I think you must be joking...

As I said before, there cannot possibly be any band NO ONE dislikes, or everybody likes - and thank heavens for that! Here you'll find all kinds of tastes, from the more traditional to the more left-field, and this is what makes this site such a great place. The essential thing is not to indulge in mindless bashing.
