"Hate" is perhaps too strong a word for it, but Metallica is the band this calls to mind for me.
I was in early with them, having the good fortune to be a customer at Rock & Roll Heaven in NJ in the early "80's, which led to me being handed a promo copy of Kill Em All when I was a junior in high school. They could do no wrong for me from then on, through ...And Justice For All. The "Black Album" lost me almost completely, and I've never felt the love for any of their output since.
An interesting aspect of this question is whether the shift in your love/hate is due to the band or you changing.

Danzig loves his kitties.

I meant of bands you played in while living on bourbon, uncooked meat, & white powders. Unless you guys pressed singles of all your material? Sadly, 90% of the bands I played in from age 22-27 blew all our money on the aforementioned vices and so couldn't afford mastering/pressing fees.
And the ones that did release vinyl sucked.
When I first saw Rainer Maria in the Chameleon in 1997 I was blown away. But sometime in the early 2000s they started putting out music I did not like very much. But They were so good to see live, and it was crazy to see a room full of hardcore kids swaying back and forth to their tunes.

Coldplay! No wait... I always fucking hated Coldplay :)
Big +1 for Metallica and U2.
Yeah, 7"s. Funny story, I came home to visit the family once. My dad has a decent vinyl collection he's kept from his teenage days. I was going through it and found 2 7"s from one of my bands. One was a limited edition, hand numbered 8/10, with a different cover. My mom had gone down to the record store just to get it. When it comes to my stuff, she's a collector.
I stole it from her.

i do love the fact that Danzig is wearing a Danzig shirt.. I am going to get a shirt made of myself and procede to wear said shirt religiously. A band that used to be good, at least to a 12 year old, and knowing what they now produce... I am embarrassed.. Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Re: RHCP, U2, anbd Metellica:
Those bands just got old. They stayed true to their sound. NOt like MMJ, who just took a really sharp turn.
we are about to break the surly bonds of gravity and punch the face of God!
Wilco for me. I liked 'em when they were still pulling that Uncle Tupelo roots-punk, then the "Summerteeth" powerpop. Shit, even YHF was good, but I've stopped caring about them since then. Eh.
See, I think YHF, A Ghost is Born, Sky Blue Sky, is Wilco (the album) are their most insteresting stuff.
