I'm going to see that on the 27th, with daughter 1, who likes ballet and son, who likes Sabbath. Me, I like both.
Once again see my post about Rainbow.
As I said, heathens.

I used to think that about him, but have actually come to enjoy his music more recently.

Very subjective - same with all art, hence no rights or wrongs.
If some people like looking at a Shark in Formaldehyde, then so be it.
Although, on second thoughts, my mate likes Country music - now that is totally wrong.
I don't mind a bit of country music now and then.

I'm not proud and will quite happily listen to stuff i liked when i was kid...
aged 8-10 it was The Shadows, Elvis, Matchbox, Darts, Shawaddiwaddy and of course Shakin' Stevens
then it was NWOBHM for a couple of years: Maiden, Saxon, Sabbath and anything with a spiky font (including Asia!)
then i got into Duran Duran, TFF and U2 for a few years before discovering Pink Floyd, Tull and Gong aged 18
Floyd bore me senseless these days, although i still have time for the pre-DSOTM stuff
I'll never revisit Asia... what was i thinking?

Nine Inch Nails, there was a time I couldn't imagine not listening to Pretty Hate Machine, or The Downward Spiral, my taste in music is completely different these days.

Loved them then in my early teens (I think I was about 13/14 when this came out) but, now, I ask, WTF was I listening to?
Mary Byker is now a frontperson in Pop Will Eat Itself!
Dogtrousers
Kilometre nibbler
I listened to some of those.
Lindisfarne - still listen to occasionally. I played "Peter Brophy Don't Care" just the other day.
Yes - Just No
King Crimson - I did listen to them but I've not retained any interest. I can only remember In the Court of, 21st Century Schizoid Man and Cat Food.
The other two were one hit wonders - In my mind at least. I couldn't name another track apart from Don't fear the Reaper/ You ain't seen nothing yet.
I tried my best at the time to like Led Zep because all my mates liked them. But I gave up on that.
I did buy a Gong album "Gnome Radio Invisible" for some reason. But I found it utterly unlistenable at the time so that doesn't really count

went through a phase in my 20s of thinking the shamen were a good band 
Lindisfarne, one of my all time favourites went to loads of their gigs, they are still going, Allan Hull was a brilliant song writer.
Yes, did listen to them but not a great deal.
King Crimson, no
Blue Oyster Cult, no
Bachman Turner Overdrive, no
Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath (before they were labeled metal)
Deep Purple
Cream
In fact a lot of heavy rock stuff was never my favorite but I did listen, I tend not to now, but its a fine line, some of the calmer stuff by the above bands is still played.
I still listen to rock but not the shouty noisy for the sake of it stuff.
But also one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
