what tracks do you like from Bands you don't like?

I hated Take that in the 90's, don't mind them now. Back for Good is a great song... Yeah rock on Barlow

YellowLedBetterMan

My mom is obsessed with the Osmond's. Think it comes with the territory of being a woman of her age.

After hating them my whole life, I have made exception for Love Me For a Reason. Good tune.

Also, I won't say I dislike her, rather am not a fan, but if you tell me that Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now isn't one of the most beautifully written songs of all time I'll call you a liar.

Ed Sheeran's new song actually isn't shit.

JerkMoans

WantedDead or Alive - Bon Jovi. 

One of my favourite things to play on the geetar

I've never listened to any of her albums, but the few songs I have heard I like.

I'm speaking from a position of very limited knowledge, but my impression, from all the decades I've been aware of her, is that she's one of those rare artists who's almost universally admired and respected and has never made a bad album*.

(* It'll probably turn out she went through a confused period in the late '80s and made some hideously misguided pop albums over-produced by Dave Stewart or someone, but if so it passed me by.) 

If I did listen to a whole album I probably would be bored - it's just not my kind of thing - but I'd like to think I'd at least be capable of appreciating it.

Some Might Say by Oasis. I don't hate Oasis as such but nothing else really interests me by them, but that song has a decent chorus.

To be fair, I quite like a few DD songs now but they were probably the only band I really detested as a kid.

Sugababes - Freak Like Me

Inspired by the Nickelback debate, a band a have a disproportionate dislike for is Ocean Colour Scene - it goes back to when I first became aware of them, when they featured on a BBC2 show called SnubTV. The lead singer came across as a total arse.

ETA: This is said interview. Yep - he's an arse...

That was my experience too! It didn't help that there was also a quite shit local band who were around at the same time as a band I was in, who seemed to be trying to copy them... it took me a long time to get past that. I'd now put them in the 'won't actively turn off if they come on the radio' category, but not much more than that.

I think he's just a kid taking himself way too seriously.  He's probably grown out of it.  But maybe not.

I always quite liked Ocean Colour Scene, or what little I heard of them - nice to hear a pop/indie (or whatever they were) band with a lot of rock lead guitar.

Teetonetal

This would be a huge list!! Just off the top of my head of things I listened to today:

Supersonic - Oasis
The Scientist -Coldpaly
Monkey Wrench - Foo Fighters
Mistreated & Highway Star - Deep Purple
Into the Arena - MSG
Marblehead Johnson - The blue tones
All the things she said - Tatu
Take me to church - Hozier
Bartender and the thief - Stereophonics

I saw Simon Fowler ( the alleged arse) about three years ago with his own band Merrymouth. I was waiting for him to be a bit rock star but he seemed content just to play guitar and sing. 

He’s quite awkward in that interview but I’m not quite sure what there is to hang 29 years of dislike on. 

PolarityMan

Reptile - Periphery

Zoolooter

Tiny Dancer - Elton

Genuinely the only song I like by him.

There are a few tracks by Ozzy that I like a lot. The Randy era had a few gems, Crazy Train being and obvious favourite and A Shot in the Dark from the Jake E Lee period, but otherwise:

CANNOT. STAND. THE. MAN.

So self indulgent as well. I heard he’s bought a tiny treadmill for his pet rabbit. It’s a little fit bunny.

I'm also in the "there's only one good Elton John song" camp except the one I like is Daniel.

If I Ever Lose My Faith in You - Sting

There are people that don't like Elton
