I even used to copy his handwriting pretty accurately and I can still do it now (I've just tried).
The other thing is that I know every track from every album so well that I could sing them all in my head (If I wanted to, which I don't)

I think I just have impesccable taste ... and an immunity to being caught up by fashion :-)
... seriously though, probably the sound I'm most out of love with is late 80's / early 90's industrial like Skinny Puppy etc. which I used to revere, but can't be bothered to listen to.

Showing my age here: I was a big Procol Harum fan when I was a teenager (this is going back before punk) and they were the first band I ever went to see (great support: Viv Stanshall). I hate nearly everything by them now.

Well, I do consider "Sin" not only Trent's best track but probably the only NIN track I don't feel embarrassed listening to six or seven years after first hearing it. But like I mentioned, I have certain associations with Nine Inch Nails and teenage angst, and I've simply outgrown the "PIGS DEATH FUCK GOD" attitude (though hey if Trent puts out an album that's at least 90% instrumental I'll look it up).

i certainly don't hate them (there's just too much good material there). it's just that every time i think of them i feel nauseous about how obsessive i used to be.

RATM otm for me. Though I honestly haven't heard them much since my junior high infatuation with them, so I can't say it wouldn't trigger some pleasant nostalgia to hear them now. But pleasant nostalgia wouldn't stop me from cringing a little.
Oh, I'm sure there's quite a few bands/artists that I was really into in junior high/high school that I wouldn't be able to stand now -- Mariyln Manson's first few albums, MXPX, emo stuff, the really terrible studio Phish stuff (most of the live stuff too I can't stand anymore), lots and lots of bad trance -- yep, Oakenfold, Sandra Collins, et al. -- but again, I have to admit that while I'd definitely cringe, the nostalgia wouldn't make it all bad. I had some good times listening to all this garbage.
There aren't too many bands/artists that I've been into since college that I now hate, though Bright Eyes might make me wince now.

Beastie Boys. I can't say as I HATE them, but I sure won't be playing any of their records anytime ever.

I would never have been able to go from something as strong as love to something as strong as hate. There are certainly bands that I like less now than I once did (Blur, Radiohead - both because they have changed musical style in ways they shouldn't have), but from love to hate, that is impossible.
― Geir Hongro, Friday, 13 July 2007 07:03 (sixteen years ago) link
And, I mean, I still love "Parklife", "The Great Escape", "The Bends" and "OK Computer".

Hate is too strong a word but a band I once loved more than any other was Yo La Tengo. And I ask myself what happened to them about 15 years ago? They became so bad and are still getting worse. Their music turned sour. What will their next album be? A drone of a fart?
― walking towards the sun since 2007 (alex in mainhattan), Friday, 17 July 2020 15:40 (three years ago) link
Boy you've really got an ax to grind against them, huh? That's, what, three threads you've dug up now to express your disdain?
I get why someone might not dig these new experimental songs, but they've "become so bad and are still getting worse" is one of the more baffling Yo La Tengo takes I've read. There's a Riot Going On is a great record.

Nine Inch Nails. And I have a very easy explanation for why: I turned 20.― Nate Patrin
Ha, I actually didn’t start liking them until I turned 30 or so.
For me it would probably be Smashing Pumpkins. Same case as alex in manhattan, I still like Gish a lot but it’s been almost a decade or more since I listened to their other albums.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 17 July 2020 15:59 (three years ago) link
x-postyou are right, "there's a riot going on" was not too bad with some pretty good songs like "shades of blue" or "for you too". but two out of 15 is not enough for a ylt record.

The Soft Bulletin was my favourite album ever for almost a full year when I was 16. May the deities-that-be ensure that I'll never hear it again.
― pomenitul, Friday, 17 July 2020 16:04 (three years ago) link
Flaming Lips live were a treat though. Their over the top shows always made me smile. The music was indeed quite short-lived.

Blur. Can't stand anything pre self-titled or post "13," and 70% of those two albums also rub me the wrong way. It's definitely an Albarn thing.

same for me, as a teenager I could not get past how bad some of the lyrics are, now that I'm an adult I really don't care much about lyrics unless you're a band like Sparks that's particularly good at writing them
― frogbs, Friday, 17 July 2020 17:28 (three years ago) link
Sort of an orthogonal example, but one I think is sort of interesting--I've always loved Aesop Rock, but I can't stand to listen to his old (pre-2007 or so) material anymore. It's like listening a different, much weaker artist entirely, IMO. His delivery, flow & writing improved drastically since then. Call it a reverse Yo La Tengo, I guess (I have no strong opinions about YLT one way or the other).

Modest Mouse were sort of like that for me
their stuff up to M&A still sounds okay but I never really wanna listen to it. and the show wasn't all that bad, this was after Brock got sober so it wasn't a disaster. I was just like..."already, that's enough Mouse for one lifetime" and outside of a single listen to their new album I've stuck to it
