I was an obsessive fan of Korn in the second half of my teens, which just seems incomprehensible to me now.

I suppose the first album still works as a time-capsule piece, considering it sounded at the time like nothing that had come before it (the down-tuning, and the vocal styling being almost like a man openly crying into a mic, coupled with the lyrical content), and "Follow The Leader" has a handful of tunes that hold up. They did spawn a lot of tenth-rate copyists (Adema, Spineshank, Taproot, Coal Chamber), and that combined with how quickly they descended into self-parody- their thematic concept wasn't exactly set up for longevity- probably takes a bit of shine off their early, actually quite decent, work.

Never noticed that. That top 100 is full of such selections though -- in my, perhaps overly-elitist-sounding, opinion.

Rush of Blood to the Head is largely mediocre, but has some solid melodic progressions. Clocks and The Scientist are pretty good, Politik has some decent atmospheric moments. Some others are okay. But the singer is too often stilted, anemic -- and not in a compelling way -- but usually rather boring. His voice tends to lose its projection as it climaxes past a certain point, as it carries -- which mitigates the emotional impact. This might not be a problem if he was able to sound introspective (or some other inward feeling) when this happens (thus giving it some significance), but he generally does not -- or at least not in a notable way. He is a (very) poor man's Tim Buckley, or Mark Hollis. If whomever voted for Rush of Blood to the Head find's that album impactful (I say this knowing I was once, for a short time, "guilty" of it too!), I think they'd explode from emotional exhaustion if they took the proper time to assimilate the likes of Tim Buckley's Lorca, or Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden, etc.

I was a big Paula Abdul, Janet Jackson, New Kids on the Block and Michael Jackson fan as a kid. Hate is a strong word. I just find them irrelevant, though I still get a little kick out of a few Michael Jackson songs when the time is right.

Later, I was a big fan of The Beatles, The Strokes, and (gasp!) Coldplay's A Rush of Blood to the Head. I like The Beatles now but not nearly so much as I once did. I could care less for The Strokes, except Is This It is still good (very overrated though). And Coldplay... yikes...

Gary Glitter - when I was younger I thought he was great but then the long arm of the law caught up with him. What annoys me about Glitter is that he receives serious royalties every year from America where they still use his Rock And Roll (Part 2) in American Football games. Maybe they don't know he's a paedophile.

For me it was mostly bad pop-rock (Goo Goo Dolls, Counting Crows after their first album, Augustana, and Train specifically). There are a lot of other artists who I don't really hate but definitely don't like as much as I used to, like Chicago, Phil Collins, The Eagles, and Weezer after Pinkerton. Harder to think of individual songs I hate now, but the one that sticks out to me the most is Hey, Soul Sister. Most of the other songs I was considering are bad but at least kind of fun to listen to, but this one just makes me angry now.

I can't think of anything I liked in my youth I positively hate now. There's no doubt I've outgrown Van Halen, Boston, Styx, and a few others, (and, quite frankly, I can do without the Beatles), but even today, I can listen to any of them without wincing.

My musical journey has gone the opposite direction--I have come to embrace a lot of music I detested in my youth.

A ton of pop-punk... I still love Riot by Paramore, Dookie by Green Day, and the odd Blink-182 song, but the rest was really really bad. I listened to a lot of bad metal too. I can't stand In Flames anymore but they were at one point my favorite band. Then again I'm only 17 so who knows how long it'll be until I hate my current tastes.

Hate would be a little too strong, but most artists I loved as a teen I do not like nowadays:
Alan Parsons Project
Barclay James Harvest
Freddy Mercury (solo, not necessarily Queen)
Robbie Williams 🫢
Dire Straits
Billy Joel
