What band, artist, or song do you enjoy listening to that is widely disliked?

Duran Duran fuckin slaps.

I only found out a few years ago that Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm by Crash Test Dummies was commonly regarded as one of the worst songs of the 90s, but it reminds me of middle school and summers at the pool. Same with Sex And Candy by Marcy Playground.

Once you get past their boring singles, Nickelback isn't all that bad.

I’ll say it, I like Imagine Dragons. They have some great songs, they just also have some radio rock drivel (oh god Thunder is bad). Also, I saw them live back in 2013 and it’s one of the best concerts I’ve been to.

Nickelback

Never Gonna Give You Up

Whenever I play shoegaze music it tends to upset my family.

I actually like Nickelback and Matchbox 20.

Lana del Rey

Zappa.

Those who are into his music are really into it, and those who aren't generally really dislike it.

Mindless Self Indulgence: Yeah, the lead singer was obviously a piece of shit, but their music was still catchy.

Coldplay had some good ones

Nickelback, although I barely listen to them anymore because my music taste changed

I see people hate on Imagine Dragons, Creed, and Nickelback (though the latter two not so much recently)... I like these bands.

Even though they seem to receive a lot of criticism and have a bad rep, and some people seem to really hate them, I've actually always liked Nickelback.

I’m a bit fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and really anything John Frusciante or Josh Klinghoffrr

I listen to a lot of stuff that would be widely disliked if it were widely heard. Extremely dissonant, abstract, and harsh avant-garde metal is for very few people. It's hard to describe it without sounding like a dopey elitist type, but I just like caustic, hostile, and often formless stuff.

I think a lot of people got burnt out on sex and candy, but Marcy playground's first two albums are legitimately fantastic. I didn't even get into them until like 2018

I’m not sure how many bands even sit in the widely known and also disliked by most Venn diagram. The only example I can even think of is Phish, which I can’t stand but I know a guy who lives his whole life around their touring schedule.

The Spice Girls

I can sing to you (badly) every single lyric of the first two albums

The Strokes - Comedown Machine is often called their worst album but, id argue it's one of their best

Modern day Smashing Pumpkins. The community is very split these days.

My thread prediction was spot on. We all secretly listen to Nickelback.

I've only listened to a couple of ICP songs and genuinely quite liked them
