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.

The Flower Kings/Spock's Beard type of prog. With a few exceptions (Presto Ballet is the only band I can think of now). Last time I tried listening to Kaipa, Glass Hammer for example I got so bored, the music sounded predictable. It's not that originality is essential, but the "heard it all before" music makes me lose interest.

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. |

I can still appreciate stuff I listened to 40 years ago - but that would depend on my mood.....I have a lot of CD's in my collection so I do have a lot that I may not have spun for a decade or more - some I may never spin again - but hey, I have them there if I want to revisit them. I may even listen to "Duke" one day when a certain mood takes me into that shade of music.....You can play something to death.....but as your collection grows that is less and less likely to happen.....If you are a vinyl freak - expanding your collection is a helluva lot more expensive to do....I even have some Heep that I may revisit soon....Peace brothers!!!

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!
And the comparison to Beethoven is a good one. Those symphonies were composed before the invention of the gramophone record. People used to buy the sheet music to the compositions and play it on their pianos (a piano transcription to a symphony was common). If you lived around Beethoven's time you would be lucky to listen to a Beethoven symphony once in your life time. Now you even get to hear symphonies during adverts on TV for just about anything. Beach Boys music has been destroyed by its association with adverts on TV. Brian Wilson slaved for 6 months creating Good Vibrations and now its just a throw away for any for any product line on TV.

I used to really enjoy 21st Century Schizoid Man by King Crimson but I heard that track again last night and it didn't do much for me. The vocals from Greg Lake and the jazz fusion actually annoyed me

WOW! What rich and fullfilling post! Nobodies talking about bands they don't like anymore or can't stand! This is pure knowledge and genius! It's contributes so much to art, prog rock and life! Wow! I can't believe I've lived without these opinions all my life!

This is an interesting topic that I've never really considered, as it's very rare I grow tired of a band I initially liked. Typically the opposite happens - bands that I'm not impressed by end up growing on me (Sylvan and Amorphis being good examples). The mere exposure effect / being familiar with their general sound works wonders.
ON TOPIC, the only band in my case is Symphony X. Used to think they were great but nowadays don't find them overly impressive. They have a few great tracks, a lot of "whatever" tracks, and one cohesively good album (V). Although, if we're talking not-prog.... well. Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, Kelly Clarkson, Shinedown, more radio-hit bands I listened to in my mid-teens. I blame Rush.

They were my favorite band as a kid, and I still like them now but not NEARLY as much as I did then.

[QUOTE=moshkito]
Hi, Weird ... I don't sit here and say that Beethoven's 5th suxxed rocks and the 8th was far out, and that the 9th bored me to death! [/QUOTE I like that part about Beethoven!  Good point!But why not? 5th and 9th are so popular that one can get bored listening to it too often! Besides, yes, we are people, and our tastes are chaining. I guess the entire thread is about how folks change their opinion of some bands when they grow older and develop "proggier" tastes or after string of mediocre albums of the band that they used to love. Uriah Heep case is a good illustration, and I feel in similar way. When I was young, I loved them (well, Hensley era only), then I grew cold. I know why: 1) I listened too much of them 2) my music tastes mutated towards more complicated and esoteric stuff The same can be said about Deep Purple and Queen. However, I listen to their classics ones in a while and enjoy them, along with Uriah Heep. As of examples of a string of mediocre albums that made me dislike some bands, the examples are Arena, Pain of Salvation, Dream Theater, Spock's Beard. They managed to record excellent, even great albums in the past, but then they just went down, IMHO. DT less than other, but still.... I almost added Ayreon to that list, but Arjen's last opus proved I was wrong! The opposite for me is Opeth that getting better and better after Mikael dropped that stupid kooki monster "vocal"  Or Devin Townsend that's getting better as well. SO, why don't we start a thread Bands you dislike but really started to like? |

I certainly tend to go through phases. When I'm big into Kraut I tend to find some of the more melodic Prog Metal end of my catalogue to be a bit bland, on my often day-long Tangerine Dream trips Peter Hammill can annoy me, and don't ask me what I think of Yes when the occasional Bauhaus/Siouxsie/Sisters madness kicks in. Now I'm knee-deep into extreme metal so don't annoy me with the new Wilson. But to name one band or type of music that I really loved and now loathe and never listen to? No not really. |

Hi, Weird ... I don't sit here and say that Beethoven's 5th suxxed rocks and the 8th was far out, and that the 9th bored me to death! It's the same "artist" and "composer". AND, unlike us fans, THEY ARE PEOPLE and they are there, because you are not capable of putting together anything like they did. Complaining about this and that about Marillion, PT, or Beatles, or Rolling Stones, or James Brown, is a total disrespect for the amount of work they put together that have given us all so much love and appreciation. Grow UP! Learn to appreciate music ... for what it is ... and if you don't like it, go make your own, to see if you can stand up to these comments and still enjoy the music! Good luck!

Same story, Octopus was my entry to Gentle Giant.. nowadays I barely listen to it, while I am playing In A Glass House to death back when I was young, I spent billions on completing entire discographies. That was before you could instantly download everything. A huge waste of money, because not all albums by my favorite artists I did like, but I just wanted to OWN them. Pity. - wrote Kingsnake Edited by Rednight - October 10 2017 at 08:20 |

I don't get this at all. You could stop liking their subsequent works because the something different they are now doing isn't to your taste - does the fact that I don't like Giant For A Day really invalidate my love of Octopus, as far as you're concerned? Equally you could dislike the later work because they just keep repeating the same approach and it gets more and more boring / less and less inspired as time goes on (too many bands to mention).

I would question whether you truly liked the band in the first place if you grow to dislike later work of theirs, especially if they, shock horror, do something different!

Truly, honestly - Ozric Tentacles. I knew something was up after Jon left (after recording of The Hidden Step). The magic just disappeared. Sure, the music is somewhat interesting, but being just ‘good’ ain’t cuttin’ it with me (regarding OT). I can settle for ELP’s Love Beach 10 years after it was released, it’s passable at the time I was getting into the band, but, going along with OT since the mid-90’s, their change in approach hurts. I don’t hate them, but it’s a massive let-down.

Funny enough, I have different experience. I didn't care of them too much, even for Fish era. I liked a few songs very much, but never entire album. Then I went to one of their Weekends in Montreal, and I was sold. Not that I began a crazy fan, but I started appreciate them much more than before. I prefer their later albums, starting from Marbles.
