I'm pretty sure that you saw my loooong and rambly post about Gym Class Heroes and FOB a couple of weeks ago, but just in case:
I started out being threatened on a really basic level by Gym Class, because it wasn't 'my kind of music', but really loved the guys in the band. Just under a year later, I'd say they're one of those bands I fucking LOVE the sound of most of all, but I never would have given it a chance if it hadn't been for bandom.
FOB is the flipside, in that I really like some of their music, but they're not really. Huh. I don't care about them like I care about some of the other bands.
I'm super fond of The Cab live, but haaaate the fact that they sound like the freaking Jonas Brothers on Whisper War, and there's a few Pencey Prep songs I fucking LOVE but I'm neutral on most of their stuff.
I genuinely love MCR's music, but I'm not sure how I would feel about it if it weren't connected to the band and their intensity. I would probably still like it, but again, not sure if I would love it enough to be getting it tattooed onto my wrists if it weren't their stupid little faces, you know?
Bands I really like who didn't make your tickybox poll, hm. I reallllly like Motion City Soundtrack (and reallllly hate their fans omg) and the more I listen to Amanda Palmer's solo stuff the more I like her and the Dresden Dolls an absurd amount. Also, no lie, I like Katy Perry's sound. (Now if we could just get her to do something about her lyrics, please god.)
I fucking adore Cobra, and know I would have loved their stuff even without the additional influence of bandom, and I'm one of those fangirls who reaaaaalllly loved the sound of Fever. It's so damn catchy! [Honestly, I grew up on the music that the Panic boys have been getting baked to for the last couple of years, but I wouldn't love Pretty. Odd. if it weren't them. I can't help it, it's just kinda every song blends into the next one for me. Except for Folkin' Around.]
