It seems most people are more emotionally attached to the stuff we grew up on. We can come to enjoy stuff from an earlier era. But each Bowie new release was an adventure and you looked forwrd to what it was going to be like since he went in different directions. Loved the Mick Ronson era the best but Niles Rodgers was no slouch.For Bowie, I only really know him for his run of hits in the 70's and 80's (Let's Dance, Fame, Blue Jean, China Girl, Modern Love, etc.,) so I really lack exposure to his more acclaimed stuff. It might be pushing it to say I "dislike" him although Under Pressure, to me, stands out as his best track. I know it is not cool to say you dislike Bowie amongst most music fans.
As far as CSN. I don't know. The vocals are fine, but a lot of the songs are a little uninspiring to me. The singer/songwriter stuff of the early 70's doesn't really grab me, save Jackson Browne and Joni Mitchell. But CSN are before my time and again, it might be pushing it to say I "dislike" them. Did really like Wasted On The Way (and Southern Cross).

Oh come on, it has one of the best guitar riffs of all-time (by Carlos Alomar).Fame is an atrocity of a song.

C'mom guys, stop hogging all the hate.
Duran Duran is a good choice. They represented everything pretentious about the 80s, but a couple of their tunes are pretty catchy.Some songs I love from artists I can't stand:
Daniel - Elton John
Looks That Kill - Motley Crue
Hungry Like The Wolf - Duran Duran
Gel - Collective Soul
Can't Get You Out Of My Head - Kylie Minogue
When You're Gone - Bryan Adams
About Chicago: David Foster is hated by longtime Chicago fans the same way Heart fans hate Ron Nevison or Metallica fans hate Bob Rock. On the one hand, you have to give the producers credit for knowing what would do well on the charts at the time, and making the bands a lot of money. But they alienated the band core audience in their pursuit of the fickle mainstream fans.
I imagine that at most Chicago reunion shows, the opening chords of You're The Inspiration are when fans choose to go for a snack or a bathroom break.
It's a hard question because if I like more than one song, then it's hard to say I dislike them. If it's just one song, chances are I haven't explored their work enough, and it almost becomes a one-hit wonder thing. Here goes anyway:
Blind Melon, "No Rain"
The Police, "Roxanne"
If I couldn't separate the artists as persons from their art at least somewhat, I don't think I could listen to much of other rock music either (e.g. Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie...). Same with Miles Davis (women-beater, if nothing else).Tie me kangaroo down -Rolf Harris
Rock 'n' roll Pt 2 - Gary Glitter
Admittedly I don't believe I have ever heard anything else from either guy, so my dislike of them would be more due to their extracurricular activities

But Gary Glitter is a creep-o supremo, I'll give you that much; it has been impossible for me to avoid some of his other hits like "I'm the Leader of the Gang", though. I'm less familiar with Rolf Harris' case, but I know his song "Sun Arise" via Alice Cooper (Love it to Death).
Stuck with thunder?Thunderstuck - AC/DC - all their songs are the same, so you listen to this one and its the best of them, no need to listen to anything else they've ever done.
