This thread was inspired by the "Name your Top 10-15 Most Hated Bands" thread.

I noticed a lot of mentions of Creed, Limp Bizkit and Metallica on a people's lists. Not to question people's tastes, but I feel like these are 3 prime examples of bands that people hate as much for the personalities of the musicians as for the music itself.

I for one totally separate the two. Yes, the asshole from Creed and Fred Durst are two of the more outspoken asshats in the music business, but from what I've encountered, most "big name" musicians are dickheads. Some just do a better job at not projecting their shittiness all over MTV.

What I'm saying is that if I didn't listen to certain bands because I didn't like the people in the band, my CD collection would be very small. I wouldn't listen to Oasis, Metallica, or any number of other bands whom I have gripes with the band members. I really don't think the whole "Creed Sucks" movement on this board (and others) would be if the lead singer wasn't a fuckstick. I think Metallica would be given more leniency with their music if Lars wasn't an unclefucker. You know what I mean.
