Such jealousy, scorn...
I think some of what Ole is talking about is just how some music doesn't resonate with some people. There is no band or song that will be universally liked by everyone. But it should still be possible to appreciate a band or music that you don't like. Rush is a great example. I listen to that shit and I'm like holy **** this is amazing and I can't stand it.
Its stupid when people are so dismissive of some of the biggest bands in history. Doesn't matter if you are talking about bob dylan, the beatles, rolling stones, jimi hendrix, or whatever. There's always some idiot that is like they suck and they're overrated. But you can be damn sure that dude listens to plenty of musicians who list the people dude shit all over as major influences.
But it's still all subjective. I don't think The Beatles are the best band ever. Say that, and watch people lose their fucking minds, hence why I believe they're overrated. That doesn't mean I don't like them, I think their music is pretty fucking good, and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "A Day In The Life" are two of my favorite songs of any band. However, if I have the choice to listen to The Beatles or Led Zeppelin, it's Zeppelin, pretty much every time. Just different tastes, but because I don't bow down to The Beatles as the greatest ever, people go apeshit on me.
True Zeppelin is the shit. But that's like choosing between a Ferrari 458-italia and a 458-Spider. It's still a fucking Ferrari! When you get to that tier of bands like the beatles, led zeppelin, floyd, the stones, even bands that I don't particularly care for like Kiss, you have to give it up for them.
I like round and round by ratt

Hair band guilty pleasure, we all have them.
The point isn't whether a person likes the shit or not. Nobody has to like them. But saying the beatles suck is just Special person.
