Not that I particularly dislike The Yes Album, but I would give it 3 stars, and that's grateful.
Also, I don't grab all that love for Songs from the Wood. That folky feel doesn't really tick for me.
Growls. That's really the main thing that keeps me from Opeth, although I enjoy them from time to time.
I dislike how much post-Ozzy Sabbath is underrated. In my opinion, it has better material than Ozzy era (for example, Heaven and Hell).
Phil Collins singing. I'm trying to like post-Gabriel Genesis, but that voice I can't stand. I seem to get used to it, though, so maybe I'll begin to tolerate it or even like it.
The Final Cut. It's the main reason I prefer Dave over Roger. Waters is far more intelligent, but when we talk about music, Dave and Rick are/were the soul of Floyd.

I also don't like The Yes Album quiet as much as other people in this forum seem to like. However, I love Fragile and CttE.
Another album that is generally loved (at least in metal circles) that I don't particularly like is Master of Puppets... I much prefer the predecessor... or even if it may sound like heressy, I prefer The Black Album over Master of Puppets.

i dislike most 'prog metal'... the classics are fine (queensryche, some fates warning, etc....) but i just feel this stuff is overrated for the most part... i have my own philosophy on how 'metal' should be rated... i had all the gorguts albums 11 years ago... i dont consider them 'prog', but whatever... the problem with 'prog metal' is that the progessive stuff isn't metal... and the metal stuff that tries to be progressive is no longer metal... oh! we play aeolian and phrygian, so damn fast...! yeah, it ain't effing progressive... there are a 2 or 3 thousand 'prog metal' albums a year it seems... very few cross over/out of typical guitar w**ker patterns/... the problem is that if i hear most of these newer albums i immediately know every riff they are playing... that's boring/predictable...
i don't consider dream theatre's classic albums metal... metal influenced..? no doubt... should be heavy prog.. just like porcupine tree should be space rock, psych rock... or eclectic prog.. they aren't 'heavy prog'...(based on the majority of 4 later albums- all the early stuff is eclectic or space rock)
i don't care for the yes album... live, the songs are much better.. but, a boring album...
i like all kinds of ugly stuff... the early metal 'non-prog' voivod albums... war and pain is the ultimate pre-thrash album...

yes, mine was a controversial statement.. but eh, i never liked it much.. i just go by how many times i've hit 'play'... in my experience- take the album apart and just the play the tracks and it's a lot of 'hits'... i think some folks would say something similar about 'fragile'... but as 'unforgivably' un-flowing as it is-it remains my favorite Yes album... relayer being my 2nd and then tales... a lot of it has to do with in what context ya hear the record for the first time... the yes album isnt one that i have a significant association with .. i think it's '4stars' in the context of the super high ratings for everything on this site.. but hey, i heard most of those songs on live recordings before i heard the lp... sort of reminds me of my reception of 'a farewell to kings'... i could be wrong, though

Eh, probably the worst thing a person could say on this website, but King Crimson's debut. I won't say it's a bad album, but it does get quite dull for the majority of its duration, and has trouble keeping my attention. This isn't because I am hyperactive, I can listen to classical for hours. Then there's also the receptiveness of it which wouldn't be so bad if there were things worth repeating. I hardly find myself listening to it and I would probably give it two or three stars if I were to rate it.

trollbots uber alles mang!
also just wanted to agree the first king crimson is very decent... not superb.. the live performances of the relevant material blow it away/// i don't like moonchild.. not just the improv the whole 'song' ack !!! 21st century schizoid man is an epoch defining piece of hard rock... ugh.. even today kids get blown away by it... and im talking about the old film of the performances!
i was watching the bbc clips the other night and fripp destroyed my pretensions as a decent guitar player.. haha.. what genius

Almost everybody hates Moonchild. I constantly daydream about a perfect world where In the Court (sans Moonchild) and Red (sans Providence) were blended seamlessly together to create the single greatest prog album in all history.
I also daydream about a perfect world where half the songs on Beatles were removed (especially that Revolution #9 nonsense). Put it on an EP if you absolutely HAVE to release it, christ!

"Providence" is very good. "Moonchild" -- not so much.
I don't think mixing Red and ITCOTCK would be a good idea, because they're so much different, and as a studio album it wouldn't fit, despite powerful tracks it just wouldn't flow correctly. I mean, image jumping to Red from Epitaph for instance.

Take half the songs from The Beatles and you still have an single album rather than an EP.
Honestly ... the Two Virgins album is probably more worth quoting, but I wonder if most porn films are more fun and better? Art for sex's sakes. Gotta love it!

I disagree with Radiohead. They are one of the most inventive bands today.

I was talking primarily about Revolution #9, y'know? The rest would do for parts of an excellent rarities anthology.

Maybe so, and Ive listened to quite a few Radiohead albums in my time. They just BORE me. Thom Yorke's solo albums are even more boring.

Most of my favorite Radiohead songs take me to a dark place in my childhood with my father screaming at my mother and she crying in a corner. My favorite Radiohead songs sometimes take me to a planet of cold ice and abandoned machines so I may look upon them and think. They sometimes make my chest hurt with delight. Other times they make me think about my possible pasts. Kid A hits my heart numerous times.

It has dawned on me recently that I don't like Roine Stolt. The only thing I have really loved of his was The Flower King's The Sum of No Evil. I remember trying The Flower Kings for the first time and just not getting it, and then I thought maybe it was the vocals that bugged me but even when trying Kaipa thinking maybe that would finally click there was something that just didn't connect with me. I didn't understand what it was because I loved Karmakanic's Who's the Boss in the Factory and that was quite similar to TFK. Then After trying to get into Transatlantic for the umpteenth time being a huge Neal Morse fan, along with some of the Daniel Glidenlow sung TFK songs, I realized it was the guitar playing that I just didn't enjoy. He's a great musician I'm just not a fan of his style, unfortunately, but I'm still looking for something that will get him to click for me because there's just so much material that he has been involved in that I feel like I'm missing out on.
