But he's the greatest thing ever......
I am a pretty open minded person when it comes to music, I will give all genres of music a go. I hate the people that are fans of one artist/ group in particular and will attempt to argue that they are greatest thing to happen to the music industry.

I'm not one of those people that turns up to places with a music encyclopedia under his arm looking to argue about music, I just seem to attract nutters like this while trying to enjoy a night out. The two most recent arguments that spring to mind were at a friends wedding where I was told by two different people that:

(i) Elton John is the greatest artist ever (even though he dosent write his own lyrics and that there were a shedload of classical composers that did a hell of a lot better than he could)

(ii) Micheal Jackson invented dance music

When something like this is said I do admit that I turn into a music Nazi, and I don't mean I dress up in full Gestapo getup and belt out songs with lines like "Auschwitz Auschwitz were killing Jews".

When faced with simple facts these deluded twats usually resort to a stuttered "well, he just is...."

Bollocks

If you have an opinion like that and feel the need to voice it to other people at least come up with proof to back your side of the argument up or leave me alone with my pint.
