Bands you hated but now adore.

[deftones86]

Well i thought i would do the opposite. Of bands you adored and now hate. Well share your hate to love bands

Mine was The Mars Volta I could not stand them now they are one of my favorites . I also didnt like most rap music i was to preoccupied  with trying to be a metal head to realize there was a lot of good rap/hip-hop music out there.

The Mars Volta - I completely hated the vocals and chaos.
Isis - I completely hated the vocals and chaos, wasn't mature enough to understand, maybe.
A Silver Mt. Zion - again, I hated the vocals, the sound.
Circa Survive - vocals
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - the sound was too eerie and too abstract for me.

can't really say there are any such bands now. but I used to loathe Slipknot until a friend got me into them. then I loved them for a while. now I just like to listen to the first two albums once in a while, but don't really care for them more than that.

I also used to dislike Deftones. not hate, I didn't mind them at all. I just thought it was a bit too much nu-metal for me. and the first live clip I saw from them was pretty bad (Hultsfred, Sweden 2000). then I heard a couple of songs that made me start loving them. this actually opened up my taste in music for a more modern metal sound. before that, I mainly listened to old stuff and grunge. so thanks, Deftones.

I dig your thread ideas bud.

Dinosaur Jr would probably be my major one mainly due to my dislike for the vocals but a friend has been harassing me for 10+ years and now I'd rate some of their work as the best thing to come out of the nineties.Mean gat and drums.

Mars Volta is a struggle for me as well though...mainly because of the epicness and potential that was At The Drive-In.

Radiohead, i hated th
e creep video and didn't care 'bout 'em till 2004-2005 when suddenly i heard creep again and started to get into them more and more.
Also Dillinger Escape Plan and Mars Volta, first ones, too much chaos that now i enjoy and love them. With mars volta i dont love them but i enjoy most of their songs

[RoyalDeftonicBoy]

Trivium, KSE and Arch Enemy
Now? I fucking love them even tough KSE last effort was weak and awful

The Mars Volta - I completely hated the vocals and chaos.

Circa Survive - vocals
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - the sound was too eerie and too abstract for me.

i agree with circa.
mars volta, i liked at first but then got annoyed with.

i can never get into isis. ive tried, many times, even recently. instrumental is nice with some singing but the growling absolutely ruins any chance for me

[Starz]

I feel the same about Isis... Normally I say "fuck the vocals, it's all about the music!" but yeah, I really hate the growls.

I used to hate At The Drive-In due to MTV repeatedly playing One Armed Scissor. Then I saw the album on special offer in a music store so decided to buy it. Took it home and discovered one of the greatest albums of all time (Relationship Of Command). What really sucked though, was that I had started getting into them when they broke up...

[theis]

Circa Survive.

Also because of the vocals, but this band has REALLY been growing on my lately. The new album is fantastic.

[Deftones-argentina]

GlassJAw for me. GlassToned recommended it through soulseek and at first I was like: what the fuck was that??? I couldn't stand the vocals in siberian Kiss's verse. but for some reason I thought that shit should stay in my hardrive. 3 years later I fell in love with them.

[cEvin Key]

At The Drive-In.
I didn't hate them but the first time I listened except from "One Armed Scissor" and "Invalid Litter Dept." I thought they were kinda of dull...but a few years later I listen again and I think "Relationship of Command" is an amazing record.
something similar happend with glassjaw and nine inch nails. I used to adore nine inch nails for a while after the the "non liking" phase but now I just like them.

[Starz]

NIN even today I can't get into... I don't hate them but I just can't seem to like them much
