Hate is a strong word and I also think I don't "hate" any.
That said, one band that is most loved on this site and that never really clicked for me is...Jethro Tull. When I was new here I made a poll with JT albums which you liked most and, not surprisingly, Thick As A Brick got most votes. So I listened to this album several times. Nothing. The compositional structure did not do it for me. Then I listened to A Passion Play. I like A Passion Play more than TAAB, but still I am not really enthusiastic.
On the other hand, I enjoy it when I hear Jethro Tull on the radio among the otherwise dull pop songs. I attended a party and the DJ played "Locomotive Breath" and the people around me asked me "Who is this?" and I got excited and recommended them to listen to more Jethro Tull (and I thanked the DJ for playing it)!

It's easy to use Love and Hate in context of things we like and dislike without getting overly emotional about it, we do it all the time - I love steak and hate liver - there is nothing in that beyond the words on the page - I'm not going to war over it - it's just a figure of speech we all use all the time.
Ho-hum.
Love: Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Pain Of Salvation, Savatage, Porcupine Tree, Mansun... and many many more.
Hate: Sylvan, Phideaux  ... that's it, can't think of anything else... Oh yeah, Nickleback.

I would not say Hate, but I really cannot get into Yes or Dream Theater.
I think both bands are fantastic musicians, but after numerous listens to many albums I think that their songwriting is incoherent, and that the musical changes they use do not make sense at all in most cases.

Rush, I've listened to more albums by them than I can keep track of, didn't enjoy a single one. Dream Theater, not much to say, nothing makes their music remotely interesting. Marillion, a bit too poppy for my tastes. Kansas, It just doesn't click, they feel a bit artificial in my opinion. Mike Oldfield, I don't like the structure in his songs, that he just builds more and more layers on top of eachother.
That's pretty much it... Oh, and everyone doesn't have to comment on the hate part by the way, the man has already explained why he named this thread like this.

..and you don't have to comment on people commenting on the hate thing because that leads to people commenting on my comment on your comment on people commenting on the hate thing, and that would be tiresome.

There are a few bands that I feel have awesome music, but the vocals turn me off almost immediately. Dream Theater, Spock's Beard and Transatlantic come to mind with my great music/annoying vocals dilemma. Another band that I really don't dislike, but can't get into, is King Crimson. I'm just not getting it with them. I didn't really mind Islands, but I can't get into the rest (from what I've heard, anyway.)

Van Giraffe Generator and Peter Hammill.
I find Hammill's vocals horrendous, like nails on a chalkboard in Hell.
