Bands you liked but really started to dislike

Some disrespectful comments here about bands I absolutely love. If I played an album 400 times and now complain that it bores me to death, don't you think the fact that I played the album 400 times might have something to do with the fact that it now bores me!

Seriously, I think Kevin Ayers went in a way distasteful direction after his Dr. Dream album. ‘Nuff said.
And The Moody Blues, after Seventh Sojourn.
Sure, they may have had the odd decent tune here and there, but I lost interest overall.

Rush. They had quite the string of coherent, satisfying music from Caress of Steel to Grace Under Pressure then went drastically south, IMHO. One bright spot in the music since the aforementioned early period was Clockwork Angels, but it wasn't enough to sway me toward anything else in its era. Sad, really. I do wish I could have seen them live again before Mr. Peart quit.

I never loved Camel that much, but for a short while, I was listening to all their stuff, but weeks later, I was over it. If the vocals were better, I might still be listening.. But I have been listening to the same 70s Pink Floyd for half my life!

I think for me, anything I haven't heard already is going to get a few points, just for being different, but the most accurate way I can judge a band is by the amount I listen to them.

Camel - Another Night
(I'm listening to this as I type.. I still love the main guitar riff, but it might be the lack of creativity with the phrasing and rhythm of the vocals, as well as the vocals themselves, which I think are just ok)

With Arena it is their early stuff I'm not keen on because of the vocals - love the Rob Sowden albums especially Pepper's Ghost and 7th Degree with Paul Manzi is awesome, Unquiet Sky is just OK!! The vocals that I hate are Dream Theater & Nightwish with Tarja, plus any band with growly vocals!

Mastodon.

Comes and goes

Sold my Fish discography (huge mistake indeed) many years ago thinking that I'll never listen to him again..regain interest a decade later and took me 5 five years (many out-of-print titles) to re-buy them all. I've no desire to listen to them nowadays but I'm positive the interest will surely come back in some time.

- 95% of any metal-related music I used to listen to. Can't stand most of it these days.

- I got into King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard for a couple of weeks about a year ago before I realised how boringly earworm-y and formulaic they are. Who knows maybe I'll get into them later on.

- The Fall of Troy... Yuck. 

- Most instrumental math rock bands I've heard and that style in general. 

Gotta say, rock/metal music in general is not my main focus these days, but I'm really surprised Dream Theater is not mentioned more often in this thread. They were the gateway prog band for many and it's natural to lose interest in DT as you discover more interesting/original artists. Besides they were getting worse with every album after "Train Of Thought" in my book, so yeah - I listened to s/t like twice when it was streaming (never returned) and later even skipped "The Astonishing" on purpose.

Gentle Giant. I liked them a long time ago. They started giving me headaches after awhile though. The brevity of their songs kind of led me to indifference too.
