Shouldn't you separate the music from the fanbase though?

I love at least a few albums from all of those artists. Mondo posts about The Who. We boo people off of the stage for being boring schmucks.

Everyone loves Black Sabbath, though. Literally everybody. So it might not just be about being against popular stuff. Maybe, just maybe, Beatles, Zep and PF do kinda suck or at least are quite a bit overrated.
