I don't like to think any musician 'sucks' per say. granted some bands/artists do have a higher musicianship than other. I just always think if you have a fan you deserve that fan because you've obviously done something to appeal to them.

Now, I think that Linkin Park sucks. Obviously I am entitled to my opinion. Some may disagree. That doesn't make my opinion any less correct
for me than it makes their opinion any less correct
for them. But does that mean that we should keep our opinions to ourselves or pussy-foot around and pretend that our opinions aren't as strong as they really are just so as to not offend others? Of course not. Musical discussion would be pointless and dull then. So long as someone doesn't call you an idiot for liking King Crimson or Candlebox then you should just accept their opinion and not let it bother you and perhaps even argue against their opinion to start a lively discussion.
Of course, if you're in high school, then you're pretty much screwed unless you're willing to give someone an uppercut over your love of Three Days Grace.
