I mean, I’ve never heard a song of theirs I hated or anything, most of them I just don’t care for.

Ted Nugent should be in there too. Yeah the guys a blooming idiot and an Asshole, but his music career is undoubtedly deserving.

No need for a disclaimer. Prince once said that he had two souls living in his brain and he was still trying to determine their genders. If we had to discount music purely for behavior at least %10 of the hall would be null and void.

I also would go so far as to say that I like every Cars album I’ve heard (which admittedly is not all of them) more than American Idiot. I also find the title song extremely obnoxious.

Why are you bringing up the smoking thing again?

I swear I’ve never seen someone care about something so much that is a complete non-issue.

Restoration of large cartoon bikini-covered cartoon boobs ring a bell?

That’s a non-issue in the other direction.

Guys, this discussion is gonna have to wait. There’s a much more pressing issue at hand. When I was watching TFA last night, there was a beep that I don’t remember from before.

Do you like Green Day? If not, you can’t exactly be objective.

What’s obnoxious about the song?

Why can’t Microsoft make a good OS?! I mean, a really good OS! I mean, like an XP-2. Windows XP was the greatest PC OS in history as far as I’m concerned, and they stop supporting updates back in like, 2011. I want a new Windows XP! WIndows 8 makes me angry, and Windows 10 makes me angrier. Windows Vista made me angry first, though.

I had zero complaints with Win 8.1 once I got used to it.

Some people have zero complaints with the SE trilogy once they get used to them 😉. Even when Win 10 is fully fixed (settings-wise), it still looks rather ugly, and requires a classic skin to be visually pleasing at all. IMO XP was the best OS, and alongside being the best functionally, it looked the best too.

It depends on which alternate universe you’re in when the time streams are crossed whilst using the commode. 😉

But wouldn’t liking Green Day be subjective too? I’m not a big fan but I don’t have a problem with them in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. I’m also not a big The Cars guy but their self titled album is probably one of the best rock albums ever, so it is pretty silly that they’re not in.

I just looked it up, there are some absolutely absurd snubs going on here: http://www.futurerocklegends.com/The_Snub_List.php

I always assumed that they started putting in non-rock groups because they already inducted all the good rock groups. Guess not.

I think I’ll go back to not caring about this topic.

My point was you can’t compare the two groups objectively if you only like one of them.

Windows 10 bloated updates are getting ridiculous. The last one took almost 11 hours with the new laptop.
Glad I haven’t upgraded the other one, although that “free upgrade” pop up window needs to be destroyed.

Where were you in '77?

I’m still on 8.1 on one machine and 7 on the other, and both keep receiving those stupid pop-up upgrade windows with no way to stop them.

I feel like this almost makes sense but doesn’t. You’re making it sound like if you don’t like a band you have a bias against them, but that’s not necessarily the case. There are different levels of liking. What if I don’t like Green Day and only kind of like The Cars? Does that make me unobjective? Or can’t I say The Cars are objectively more worth liking than Green Day? What if I don’t like either of them? Does that mean I can’t compare objectively? Or maybe I can because they’re on the same level for me? But they can’t be on the same level or I wouldn’t be saying one is better than the other, right?

Music is simply too subjective - there’s no right or wrong here. And comparing too fairly different bands means even more cause for subjectivity.

I have an example to add. I don’t particularly care for Michael Jackson’s music, but I recognize the musical talent that he has.

To clarify, if you hate one band, you’re gonna think the other is better whether you think the other band is great or you don’t care either way.

When I hear someone say “the title track is obnoxious” I wonder if that’s someone who can’t think objectively about that band.

To Dek’s point, I’m not a fan of The Beatles, but I can admit from an objective standpoint that they were talented and influential.

If you don’t think Green Day is talented or influential, I don’t know what else to say to you.
