Bands you didn't expect to like but do...

[otsegolectric]

I just thought it would be interesting to see if anyone (like me) has ever pre-judged a band and decided they're not to your taste, but ended up really enjoying them?

For me, there's at least a couple, like;

She Wants Revenge, Katatonia, Dimmu Borgir(!) and Paradise Lost.

How about the rest of you?

Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance.

Yes, I admit I tarred them with the "stupid emo fag" brush.

lol...i actually gave my chemical romance a chance, I just dont like them.

I have to be honest, going back a few years I couldn't stand metal without clean vocals, and on first glance thought pantera were awful....hehe...they're in my top 5 bands now!!

[Power Metal Dom]

I suppose I thought Trivium were bound to be talentless twats but they have some good stuff.

Before that...I dunno, I'm usually good at know what I like...Manson? Metallica?

Didn't think I'd like Deathklok but surprisingly I think they are pretty good! Shame they're not an actual band

Bah! Could say that about Spinal Tap!

Dethklok are real enough- they've got an album coming out and they're in Guitar Hero II- real enough for me!

I suppose I have to reassess Slayer them from the "sucks" to "is alright" column now shared with Trivium and previuosly Iced Earth before their promotion to the "frickin' awesome" grouping.

i have to agree with paradise lost, they really are pretty good. also after a substantial part of my life pretending that i didnt like cradle of filth because everyone else liked them, and "i'm different...honest", "don't judge me" , "you dont know me" "don't pigeonhole me" etc etc etc, I gotta come clean and say that I really really do like the new album.
