It isnt crap just because you dont happen to like it though. I think what you meant was people will always have differing tastes in music.

Also I must enter this as being massively overrated & I now think Kings Of Leon truly suck balls since they went and did a 'lets copy U2' with the latest album.
Thier previous albums, especially 'Because Of The Times' in particular were pretty good though.

then how do we measure music? "kevin ferderline didn't make 'bad' music, it just wasn't your taste" is not a sentence i ever want to hear

We don't 'measure music'. If you want to pretend musical quality is anything other than subjective your just trying to give yourself an ego boost.

of course its subjective, i'm not trying to kid myself.

my only point is that music is graded and rated all the time in reviews, and even regular people rate it in terms of good or bad, so of course music is subjective and i'm sure that some people will like kevin federline, katie perry, and other b.s. but that does not make it 'good' music.

Yeah but the reviews in the magazines just happen to be published opinions of people just like you and me, also popular opinion shouldnt have any influence when forming your own opinion.
It doesnt make it 'bad' music either though. Just not to your taste.

As for the Foo Fighters, they shouldnt be totally slated for everything they do as they have done some good music (particularly the first album & 'There Is Nothing Left To Lose', also I enjoyed 'In Your Honour'). I agree they are overrated in the sense that they are what I would call an inconsistent band. They put out a good album and then a sh1t one. So I can understand people hear a certain album after hearing a good one then lose interest. I wouldnt describe them as 'simple','plain', 'emotionless', 'uninspired' though. There are a lot more plain, uninspired rock bands out there than the Foo Fighters. I think you were a bit harsh there.

I think it seems to depend on how you view Foo Fighters. I like them, but I also consider them to be more of a solid pop act.

I would consider them a patchy pop act at best. Grohl's first album was good, the singles from Colour and the Shape are great, but I haven't heard a good song by them since Best of You.
