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

Show me the lot of haters for Queen and I will show you a fanbase more than 10 times larger. I wouldn't count that ratio as polarizing, no matter the strength of the haters' despising.

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.

Also you forgot suspect numero uno...

 

:rush:

 

Rush? I don't think so. They are much more beloved or appreciated than hated.

 

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.

Insane clown posse

 

Yep, thats it

 

Juggalo here myself and just back from washinton march you may have saw in the news

Polarizing for sure! Glad you got to go to Washington. Being incorrectly labeled a federal gang threat was horrible. Not real into their music myself but a childhood friend married a guy in their organization; nice guy and interesting to hear about how some of the finances work in the music business.

Ted Nugent, although it is more for his politics than his actual music

 

I don't deny he has talent, but as a human being, he and his entire f***ing trailer trash fanbase can seriously f**k off.
