Dream Theater - Their fans praise them too much, but the detractors claim that they are too pretentious and want to show off their technical skills. Myself, I am a fan of DT, but I don't praise them anymore than they deserve.

Opeth - Same as above. Basically, all Progressive Metal discussions are two-sided conflicts.

Manowar - The fans truly 'embrace the brotherhood of metal and fight for the glory of steel', but the practical detractors call them cheesy...Again, I like Manowar, since I don't mind cheese at all, but I'd rather be a fan, than a 'Mighty Warrior of Steel singing DeMaio's praises'.
