It's not that I dislike her so much as I can't really stand her anymore, but I'll go with the Hannah Montana song "If We Were a Movie". Cliche, maybe, but cute (and, oddly, I used it to comfort myself in my less mature years).

Speaking of, Miley's part on "Ready, Set, Don't Go" is probably the only thing of hers that I liked. The song still has a very boring Casey Beathard one-note melody, but I feel that it works so much better with Billy Ray and Miley trading off lines.
And I actually like most of Billy Ray's body of work. So there.
I first started liking the original version of "Toxic" because of the Local H cover. Nowadays I sort of think the vocals in their version could use more emotion (though that's kinda just what Scott Lucas always sounds like), but still like their arrangement, particularly how they emulated the violin sample on guitar:

It really is a lovely song.
Similarly, I have no affinity for Glee whatsoever (aside from it providing the basis of a couple hilarious Bunny Perspective videos), but their version of "Teenage Dream", I can admit, is really good.

I think some of the mods think it borders on a complaint thread.
Anyway, I'm pretty indifferent to Coldplay, but Fix You is a pretty nice little piece

Not so much "dislike" as "don't feel the hype about," but Death Grips' "Beware" is an absolutely fantastic song.
I'll hide your name inside a word and paint your eyes with false perception.I'd probably never consider myself a KISS fan, but I like "Hard Luck Woman"... Which I'm probably not alone in originally mistaking for an early Rod Stewart song.

I really like "Hard Luck Woman", too...Garth Brooks did a good cover of it with KISS playing the instruments.
I will fully admit that I never understood the hatred of the Jonas Brothers, the whole Disney and tween-pop association aside. They were basically a glorified Monkees, and I can't think of anyone that hates the Monkees as an act (their origins aside). Plus, they actually wrote their own songs and played their own instruments, and were very competent at both, something that can't be said for most tween pop stars.
Chris Brown's new single "Fine China". It depresses me, because while I love the sound of the song and its New Jack Swing style instrumentation and all, I cannot in good conscience give that subhuman scum any of my money. *sigh* Why couldn't someone less...well, really, anyone but Chris Brown, why couldn't anyone but him have released the song?

My page, as the database hates my handle.If it's only the Disney thing, I still don't think that's a good enough reason—it's like hating a TV show just because it's aired FOX or something like that. But eh. I still think their stuff even after being amalgamated by Disney isn't bad at all.

Reverse of the "songs you hate by bands you like". I'm sure this can be done without turning into a complaint thread, and I would prefer it be that way. I'm sure there are ways to say "I don't like this artist" without being mean.
