So we've all been there before, we heard of a classic album that's considered one of the best, and/or is highly influential. You take it home, listen to it, and you hated it.
The album felt like a drag, you couldn't find a single song you liked, and you couldn't stand the vocalist. What the hell is everyone thinking? Why is this highly regarded? Who the hell was influenced by this?
You go on the interwebz and rant about how it pissed you off, and you get a deluge of responses telling you that you're a moron, or you're just trying to be edgy. Clearly they're the morons for liking this piece of shit.
So with this scenario in mind, what's your thoughts on disliking things like this? Is it alright to go around calling it completely atrocious, or should you at least appreciate the aspects of what made said thing so highly regarded? Is it possible to separate your opinion of what you like vs something that is objectively bad or good?
