Taste is subjective. If someone is making a list here, they are usually saying what they enjoy the most, not what is objectively considered best by the entire world. So usually when someone says "this song isn't very good" or "I hate it" or something, it's usually because they've heard it so much, it has lessened their enjoyment of it. It has been cheapened to them. It's no reason for others to get upset.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
