Ehhh, it's hard to compare the two. The only link is Maynard, otherwise you're comparing apples to oranges. I love APC though. Billy Howerdel is a master at his craft.

You mean Tool lite? Awful.

Just because the dude may not like something doesn't mean it is bad. I don't like The Beatles - I recognize their talent and the importance of their work, but I still don't like it. Doesn't mean they suck.

Don't like is hard to buy
Do you mean 'don't prefer to much of anything'
Or 'don't like as much as everyone else seems to'
Or do you actually mean 'every single thing I've heard from them arouses aversion in me.'

I'm not trying to be confrontational, and I can understand people who aren't as enamored of The Beatles as being as sanctified and incredible as some might argue.

But it's tough to reconcile any love of music with a complete aversion to The Beatles. They did too much, too well, over too many genres and eras to merit zero affection whatsoever.

That's totally fair, and I understand your point and perspective on this. To answer, I'd say I "don't prefer" their music. I'm not going to seek it out. If I had to listen to their music vs. others less preferable (which certainly exists), it wouldn't be bad.

I know you aren't talking to me. But I like the Beatles ok, but I don't own any of their music. So that lines up with your thinking.

Now the Chili Peppers, I have a serious aversion to those ****ers, but they seem popular for some reason. That shit is annoying. I will change the radio station. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard.

Sorry - i just laugh when I see someone use the phrase "real music" or "you don't know good music". It comes across as self-important (or juvenile - I remember being that way in high school). I'm going to get the popcorn and watch the battle unfold over what constitutes "good music".

It's so important to remember how subjective all this really is. And I agree, arguing over what music is "good" is pretty silly.

It's like when people say "I don't like beer." I have a hard time believing that person has tried all offerings available. I used to say that about wine until I came to the understanding that I "just haven't tried the right wine yet."

Maybe it wasn't your intention but "tell me what you think "good music" is. Prepare your anus" comes across pretty strong. People like what they like, especially in something as subjective as art.

I was in the metal scene when I was younger and, hoo boy - are those a bunch of gatekeeping mofos. I just find that attitude annoying now.
