How could you not like Black Sabbath?
I despise black sabbath. They're horrible. The only song I sort of like is "fairies wear boots"

That's what makes this thread funny. Music is so subjective, it's as tough to debate as politics.
Sabbath has been my favorite since Vol. 4 came out in 1973. I still listen to them, especially at the gym with my ear buds. Their 1st 8 albums with Ozzy, were great. Then Dio hopped in and while different, they still jammed. Ozzy as a solo artist, I don't like a whole lot.
Tony Iommi and Jimmy Page are masters of the guitar in my opinion.
Bands I can't stand is a tough one. Certain genres, like rap, I can't stand. I guess if I had to name one that I never understood how popular they are, it would be U2.

Its a foolish endeavor to debate taste in anything. Cant really do it. Arguing about music would be comparable to arguing whether pizza tastes good. It one thinks it tastes bad, then it tastes bad. Same deal with music/art/etc. People probably only debate these things to add confirmation that their own taste is best.
I always thought Black Sabbath was just ok, but the Heaven and Hell album(with Dio) was amazing!

Some really great bands drawing hate... To each his own...
There are only a few that make me change the station...
Kiss, Golden Earing and Foghat top that list for me along with Phil Collins... although some of his Genesis stuff is listenable. It just pales vs. the Peter Gabriel led efforts.
As others have pointed out there are plenty of Rock sub-genres I generally steer clear of. But most will still have a group or two I can enjoy. A couple have even achieved guilty pleasure status only to be revealed in the midst of a good drunk with good friends.
There've been a few groups over the years that have worked their way off my "no play" list.
The Doors are one example. Bought a remastered, 2-CD "Best of..." 12 years ago or so just because I did not own any so there was a hole that needed filling. Working late one night I spun it as background and ended up shelving the work and going into one of those magical midnight listening sessions. So friggin' musical...
Another was AC/DC... pretty much the same story. Filled the hole with a couple remastered LPs when BMG cleared out their stock a decade or so ago. Ended up a very late blooming fan...

so much for having open minds.....
isn't art like undistinguishable from one to another's viewpoint?
lot of music sucks. so does people and cars and dogs and cats and polar bears and the cold air and peyton manning and your sister's ass and cats and cats..

There's plenty of stuff that appeals to me. Plenty of stuff I don't like to listen to it all. Some that I absolutely love and some I can't stand.
I'm not necessarily right and they aren't necessarily wrong, just whatever strikes my fancy. For a lot of different reasons.
One side thought I've often had is that the person who claims 'well I like all kinds of music' probably really doesn't love any of it. Maybe?
My number one request of all time is brown eyed girl. I don't particularly find it foul but I'm puzzled that so many people find this to be the one song above any other to bring joy and meaning to their lives.

My wife and I like very different music. She was always new wave progressive and I leaned more to rock. After years of music battles at the stereo, we each have gain some appreciation for the others music. I call it conditioning. She turned me onto the pretenders, talking heads and simple minds, all bands I wouldve hated otheriwse. But her all time favorite, the cure, still curls my hair.
-
Ha I kind of like the cure.
I don't own any CDs but 1 but I like what I've heard.

I think its the whiny vocal that gets me. But there are a few songs that I like and are pretty catchy. But its just a few. Another one that grew on me were the Hudoo Gurus who have a really flat vocalist. He's really not good, but for whatever reason I still love to listen to them. Real uptempo fun music.

Now who is issuing the hate. Some great bands you are dissing there, this one in particular:
-
And I know that KISS are not the greatest musicians.....but they have showmanship, and I like a number of their songs for what they are. One of my favorites:
-
I love KISS for what they were/are. Materialistic, unapologetic, glam rock.
You won't see me advocate for them being of music genius with complete originality, god no.
As for the British Invasion, I have always been quite partial to The Who out of all of them.
As for bands I simply hate and cannot listen to.
Petty (I honestly think it has little to do with talent and performance so much as just flat out being overplayed)
Nickleback
Creed
ICP - not a bad, just trash attempt at rap
99% of 80's hair groups
U2
Bruce Willis. No sir, I will NOT respect myself.
-
I'm surprised U2 on so many lists. While I wouldn't go out of my way to see them to put them in with Insane Clown Posse seems a bit odd.
-
-
I hate Lincoln Park. Hear one you heard them all.
-
I want to test Gipper...
Gip... the sky is blue.
Not to be confused with "Love is Blue"... by?
Why... The Paul Muriat Orchestra of course...
I bought Moontan for "Radar Love" when it was a new release. Sold it to a fan after one listen...
I put Golden Earing right above ABBA on my list of favorite foreign bands...
