"Loved by Thousands, Hated by Millions" is a compilation album of songs from American crossover thrash band, M.O.D.. It was released in 1995 on Megaforce Records and contains material from the band's first three albums – "U.S.A. for M.O.D.", "Gross Misconduct", and "Rhythm of Fear" – and the EP, "Surfin' M.O.D.". It also contains a number of new songs which were previously not on any other album.

Songs from the band's previous album, 1994's "Devolution", was not included on this compilation because it was their first for another label. All albums up until then had been on Megaforce Records. "Dictated Aggression", their subsequent album, was on Music For Nations.
