Texas King Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 In your opinion what are very polarizing bands among rock public, bands that have a big fanbase, but also a lot of haters? I would say: Grateful Dead - most people either love them or hate them KISS - same as with Dead U2 Bruce Springsteen Queen Guns N' Roses Nirvana 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't count that ratio as polarizing, no matter the strength of the haters' despising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I know a lot of people who hate Queen. I know more who either love them or love what they've heard of them.

Regardless, it doesn't change the fact not everyone is enamoured with them. Very true, but I don't think that makes them polarizing. Every band has its haters. If those of Queen are more vocal than those of other bands, it's probably a response to how overwhelmingly vocal Queen fans tend to be. I'll also say, it's probably most likely that Queen isn't a very polarizing band not for the size of it's fanbase, but for the sheer number of people who are more or less indifferent to them, or only casually like them as much as any other rock or pop group. That I think is the vast majority opinion in Queen's case, if only based on how pervasive a handful of their songs are in everyday life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays, since the RRHOF induction, they are less polarizing, but for the majority of their career they were likely the most polarizing band out there. It was either loyal fan or "tone-deaf mouse on helium" critic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
