Well, really, I loved their first album and went to their concert. Then I lost interest. Now I can't listen to them at all.

But do they "suck"? I don't know. It's hard to say with music, as it is very subjective, obviously.

I now realize he's nothing more than one of a long line of teenage heartthrob meant to get tweener girls all a-tither with a career span of a gnat.

Justin Bieber that's your future!

And by "now you think they suck" I don't mean that I don't like the sound of the band today, that is, their present sound. I mean I don't like the band's sound, even their heyday sound; whereas I used to like them.

Elton John

Fleetwood Mac

( The ) Eagles

They sound so limp, cheesy and vapid now, and even worse as they're overplayed on those awful "classic rock" radio stations.

But, that was remedied pretty quickly.

The only other act I can really think of that I owned albums by and now consider myself an "un-fan" would be Amy Grant.

but I do have one rapper who I thought was great but realized he isn't that great lyrically--Mistah FAB. I like that he is a local rapper, but when he was battling and exchanging diss tracks with another rapper (Royce da 5'9&quot , he got utterly destroyed. And looking back at his "Ghostride the Whip" song, the beats were OK, but the lyrics sounded so simplistic that a 4th grader could've written something like that. I also think Mac Dre is a little bit overrated lyrically, even though all the stuff he rapped about from his life was real.
