Just consider
The amount of music men would give up the pretence of caring about if it wasn't for the fairer sex liking it.

I mean the stuff with supposed crossover appeal. For example, 'Sweet Child O' Mine' by Guns 'n' Roses - one of the most latently mawkish pieces of crap every written. From the duff lyrics, to that honking windsock of a vocal performance, it's bilgewater from the arses of Satan's mallards.

I dunno about that
But I do think Slash is a decent guitarist. Shame that G 'n' R are largely arse when they slow things down.

A bit like John Frusciante - clearly a talented musician, but the Red Hot Chili Peppers are a band I could really do without.

Slash is a great gutarist

"RnB"
No man would like RnB if a girl wasn't watching.

(We're talking Alicia Keys etc, not Nat King Cole)

It's not even Rhythm 'n' Blues
anymore, which is what the term actually stands for. BB King and yes Nat King Cole etc ARE R'n'B but all this modern stuff is sewage. The only people that like this shit are the ones trying to fit in with their "group", if people listen to it purely to impress each other with how "down" they are then often more people will listen just to be socially acceptable.

I couldn't give a toss what people think of my taste in music, neither could any of my close mates. The fact that I'm 21 and I don't really listen to anything post-80's is seen as "sad" by some people but I genuinely think it's better than 90's onward (with a few exceptions such as the Madchester scene).

Finito.
