Well for metal - Eternal Tears of Sorrow ( I love every album they ever put out ) Diablo Swing Orchestra, Draconain, the first two Theatre of Tragedy albums. And for unmetal - Poison the Well, Comeback Kid, the first two Blindside albums.

I could go on, really.

Hmm, maybe these:

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I haven't heard of many people who dislike that.

 

[Killbot]

Okay, so they don't hate it, but most people were very disappointed with it. I think it's great.

 

[skeptik]

I haven't heard of many people who dislike that.

Metallica - St Anger (and I guess to a lesser extent Load/Reload)
Iron Maiden - Virtual XI
Fear Factory - Digimortal

Dimmu Borgir-Death Cult Armegeddon
Blut aus Nord-Odinist

 

[Manic Ferocity]

Amon Amarth - Fate of Norns

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Raunchy - Death Pop Romance
It Dies Today - The Caitiff Choir, Sirens
Pretty much the rest of the metalcore I like, most people hate.

Same with slam, but it seems like we're garnering kind of a weird following here so that's cool!

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Nightwish - discography (almost)
Arcturus - Sideshow Symphonies (I really can't get into any other Arcturus album)

The rest I'll do with images so that I'm not outdone in flashiness by everyone else:

There are some shitty songs on there, but the diversity of the album is a really nice change from the typical Bathory album. Plus, it's not so utterly serious and sober as most of Bathory's discog.

Not so much hated, I guess, as just a style that most people here wouldn't touch with a 90-foot pole.

In general though, I usually stand out more for the albums I hate that everyone else likes.
