Great albums by bands you don't like

[Damian_de]

All sorts of reasons why I can't stand U2 and yet I have a real affection for their album 'The Unforgettable Fire' and still regularly give it a spin. It does have an association with a lazy summer school holiday in the mid-80s which doesn't hurt, of course, but despite my dislike for pretty much everything else they have ever done, nothing can spoil my relationship with TUF it seems! Even having Eno at the controls couldn't save them after this.

 

For many it's best known for probably its weakest track (IMO) 'Pride', but the rest are pretty much all gems, wistful, mellow, and technically superb (*Wire!*).

 

Any other skeletons in closets out there?
