Most bands in any of the metal categories ultimately bore me.  It is exciting for one song, then it all starts to sound the same.  This includes older classic bands as well as newer ones, notably Porcupine Tree, Opeth, and Metallica.
 
The album We're Only in it for the Money is mostly random noise and has no artistic value.  The same goes for Trout Mask Replica.
 
Kobaian simply sounds like a mix between German and French, no big deal.  And what is the point of singing in a language nobody else knows?
 
Radiohead is dull and Sigur Ros is coma inducing.
 
Tool does what they do very well but they only do three or four things, so after three or four songs they repeat themselves.  They also repeat themselves in all of their songs.  This all ends up with a lot of repetetion.
 
I wish Dream Theater would stop showing off and just play some songs.  Ones that don't sound like Metallica.  Their lyrics are sophmoric.
 
Zappa wallowed in way too much juvenalia.
 
Blackmore's Night is for tween girls, not the demographic I belong to.
 
Steve Morse has been playing the same guitar solo for 25 years.  Granted, it is a good one, but still.
 
Anybody can listen to what they want for whatever reasons they want.  That is not anybody else's decision.  These are just some of my negative views.
 
 


I don't think I've ever seen a post full of so much fail.

You hate it, because you dont understand it, or just cant relate to it, not because there is something wrong with it.
So either just avoid it, instead of focusing on it, or work with it, if you want to understand it.
   
Prog is whatevey you want it to be. So dont diss other peoples prog, and they wont diss yours

Yes, please. Every time you mention "Berkely Fusion", I get kind of confused.

I foresee Dave Weckl Band, Tribal Tech, and Chick Corea Elektric Band getting mentioned.

That's pretty much it.
Everything else I can find something to like.

Hate is a strong word, do you really HATE a band or artist? What did they ever do to you?
 
It is true I don't really hate an artist or music. It ain't possible as long as they do something really bad to me so hate is not the right word to use or maybe a stylistic exaggeration. I rather dislike some bands's music

I hate hate threads. Quite why anyone would "hate" a musical act is utterly beyond me. I have far more serious things to expend my emotions on..

I hate Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga.  For pretty much the rest of the things listed in this thread, I'm gonna say: y'all are missing out.  But that's ok - my kids miss out on good food all the time, and I just say "all the more for me!"

I don't think I don't understand their music, it's fondly musical taste. Some may like Justin Bieber and his music is easy to understand but I don't like it because I find it quite boring. It's the same thing with prog bands. Also, I always give these bands many chances when I really want to. Just like Van Der Graaf Generator, I wasn't liking the band very much but when I finally listened to Pawn Hearts it was a real revelation and now I like this band.

I don't like them because, to me, many of their songs just sound like 4 guys doing solos and a guy singing on top of that.
