I dislike porcupine tree, too boring and angsty.

Everyone here loves Genesis.  I detest them with a furious passion.

I do love CARAVAN..........albums 1 to 4..the ones with cool Richard Sinclair.....that's when he left and when the one with sissy voice took over all the vocals , it was over...for me!
 
One i think has not been mentionned yet and is getting a lot of injust hatred here all the time is ROGER WATERS , one of the leading main prog names. The bashing never stops sadly.
 
Another band getting over criticised well over the top here on PA is ELP; seems they are like a punching bag . I mean no one is perfect but it seems some other bands are getting free pass for whatever they produced , good or bad.
But ELP and Waters, they are in line for the firing squad everytime their names are mentionned.Evil%20Smile

I used to dislike Porcupine Tree too, and it even annoyed the hell out of me when I saw everyone raving about them, but then I saw  "Fear Of a Blank Planet " in a CD store.  Having read some stunning reviews of this, I decided to buy it, and I must admit that I really like this particular album and quickly reviewed my opinion!
 
The fact of the matter is that it is impossible to find a universal band that everyone is going to like, there will always be someone somewhere with some criticism.  I think it is furthur complicated by the fact that all bands have stronger and weaker albums so nothing is ever perfect.

Though "not liking" and "disliking" are both different things, and require definition. I don't really fancy most bands, but I will listen to them if they're playing. That means I don't dislike them. I only dislike like 2-3 bands here on PA

Ah Robert; yes if there is someone nothing bad can be said about , that's him! Agree!
I never heard any criticism about him either.  ( the only critic would be from his communist rethoric, but when i buy a Wyatt album , it's for the mood and the voice, not the lyrics. ...so it's ok and makes him the best! ( at least one of them)

the kind of band that no one dislikes or everybody likes must be divided by genre.
Traditional Progressive metal: Dream Theater, Shadow Gallery, Savatage, et cetera.
Psychedelic / Space rock: Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Eloy
Symphonic : Yes, old Genesis
and so forth

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

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.

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

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. Thumbs%20Up

Dead sorry I don't get the point...
The advantage of this post is mainly to see that even Top Ten artists on this site are disliked by some people. I don't like Yes, at the point that I can't listen to an entire track, even the short ones... I like some of KC but certainly not all their songs...
So what?
I don't understand this McDo' thinking: what most people won't dislike is maybe caracterized by a very poor creativity or quality... probably not a good example of prog...

Well, I can't stand Yes. hahahah.  I get a lot of flack for it, but I've never liked them.  And although I love King Crimson, I've met plenty people who can't stand them either.
 
I don't think there is such a thing as a band EVERYONE loves.

A few years ago i stopped reading press articles and reviews of VDGG since all they ever seemed to say was that Johnny Rotten liked them.  This fact told us something about Rotten but nothing about VDGG and yet it has been repeated ad nauseam. 
 
I suppose i have repeated it here too, but i had to get this off my chest.

All the clips I've heard of them have not enticed me to buy.
 
I can't believe a thread with such a silly concept has lasted 7 pages.

No, I don't think so.  There will always be someone out there who dislikes something everyone else seems to love.  It's what makes the world interesting.
