"Great" Albums that You Can't Stomach

Some bands are certainly noted for over zealous fans , The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Rush are the bands that cannot be trashed under any circumstances it seems.I like all of them personally. One band I just can't abide though is U2. The point of them totally escapes me.

Now see, that's click bait that will incite more posts about weed, old age, diet, and drinking..... I plead the 5th and request a witness protection program. Pleading the 5th means nothing to us non-Americans. You also have never explained why you hate the Beatles.

Hate is such a strong word .....diarrhea, stomach cramps, pimples/acne on my buttocks are common occurrences when the Fab Four enter my ears.

We all have these symptoms when listening to bands we "can't stomach".

[/QUOTE] I kind of dropped off Muse after Black Holes. They've become too Electro-pop and shouldn't have gone "Queen' with their nest two.
To me, Abso is their best by far, because of the addition of the piano, and in some ways, I'm happy that they didn't reproduce that since, making Lution a unique album in their discography.
I will give OOS another try ASAP, though.

I saw a full show broadcast a couple years ago, and they beome something I don't like, though I must hand it to them that they are awesome and what and how they do it. [/QUOTE]

Muse pretty much passed me by at the time, but a couple of years ago I listened to The Resistance quite a lot when I was helping to work on a cover version of Uprising. I had dismissed them as a more bombastic version of Radiohead, but taken on its own terms The Resistance is a pretty good 3rd Millennium reboot of early Queen. Origin of Symmetry is the one I return to most, and I will revisit Black Holes and Absolution sometime soon.

I initially struggled with King Crimson's Islands and also some early VDGG especially H to He and Pawn Hearts but all of those have grown on me I think. Someone mentioned Operation Mindcrime. That's a very overrated album imo. I don't hate it but I fail to see what the big deal is.

+1 for OM🤷‍♂️

My stool is fine by the way. Cristi... Thanks for defending me. My favorite band is Stool Sample however their last album was a real stinker.

I concur. A pretty sh*tty band, if you ask me.

FYI there was a recent scientific study that showed marijuana is a powerful anti-inflammatory medicine. Better than Ibuprofen. Very interesting. Thx for the trivia. You learn stuff everyday. :) Also, thank you Cristi for pointing out my unnecessary poor sarcasm and infantile wording. BTW
