Bands you liked but really started to dislike

Dare I say it? 

Well, you've got things backwards.  i used to like the Beatles... then I grew up.  That's why I care so little for them now.  I've moved beyond.  But your post reminds me also of why I've moved beyond; I find it hard to commune with people who make such outlandish statements!

I've just never heard of straight folk turning gay becuase of swooning over Sir Paul!

Can I just say Neo-Prog and Prog-Revival in general? Started good... for like the first two songs from Marillion. After that it was just a whole lot of nope.

Iron Maiden... liked all their stuff up until Seventh Son... that album was repetitive garbage, and everything after that was just disappointment to me. Blaze Bayley and his fake vibrato were the absolute lowest point imo.

I'd put YES and Rush on this list... but I never liked them. Too flashy and I hate the very fabric of prog metal.

Yup, SSOASS is my favourite Bruce Maiden album.

That's just one song, and the only one on the album that employs such repetition.
There are seven more on the album. Across the album, there is wonderful variety.

You must really hate Hey Jude!

Well... doesn't help that I hate Progressive Metal with a burning passion unrivaled on this Earth.

But yeah no... "The Evil that men do" repeat 20 times for best Bruce Dickenson pitchyness.

The whole album has repetitive chorus after repetitive chorus... I'd add that those "varied" bass lines and stuff... yeah not really there. Again, Harris' galloping bass lines are still in full force (aforementioned "Evil That Men Do" proves me right).

Run down:

Moonchild - oh look they discovered repetitive synthesizer motifs, galloping bass line is back in action.

Infinite Dreams - About the only song on the album I like.

Can I Play With Madness - galloping guitars, and a chorus line that repeats without end.

Evil That Men Do - galloping bass and guitars with a repetitive chorus. Wow original.

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - yay love those repeating choruses... can't get enough of hearing that phrase the same time in a row until my ears bleed.

The Prophecy - galloping guitars on the verses... still not old yet?

The Clairvoyant - the only song with legitimately interesting bass work. Too bad there is another guitar gallop in the background.

Only The Good Die Young - repetitive choruses again

Yes I listened to the whole album again, just for this comment. And yes I hate this severely uninspired album with a passion. The only Maiden album I hit the skip button more on is The X Factor, and that is mostly because I hate Blaze's fake vibrato even more than I hate SSOASS

Caught Somewhere in Time, Powerslave, Killers etc were all excellent albums (Number of the Beasts is 90% filler imo though).

Well, the thread is about 'dislike' so he is entitled to dislike it.  Without offering reasons for it, so we should not hound him because he chose to do so.  It's alright.  I know other tr00 metalheads who like classic prog but dislike prog metal.  Actually, I have been to that exact place myself (though I still found IM even on SSOASS old school enough that I never clubbed them with actual prog metal like um Dream Theater). I have come to like quite a bit of prog metal since though there's still much that does nothing for me (just like non-metal prog).

Most other genres just get under my skin (though I take some exception to power metal on occasion). Also isn't blind hatred. I've listened to the entire discography of Marillion, Dream Theater, Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Queensryche, Haken, Rush, etc... none of it did anything for me (Rush though is one I consider to be legitimately mediocre and over hyped, but that is a different discussion altogether). There are prog metal albums that are objectively masterful. They just don't do anything for me.
