I couldn't agree with you more. All too often I see comments by people like the one by Havalina that discredit a song or an artist simply because they don't like their music. Just earlier I was discussing Warren Zevon with someone. I said I don't like any of his songs except for two. But at the same time I made it aware that I think he was a great songwriter and musician. I almost wish I could like his music a lot more than I do. And I will continue to try actually. I have his Greatest Hits. Some times music can grow on you.
