I also wanna say the amount of Linkin Park in this thread is giving me nausea.

Agreed. But I’m not surprised. The number of people who claim to be bored by music is also unsettling. 

If it makes you feel any better, my comment was sarcastic for the purpose of testing Poe's Law. I was wondering if I added a good artist or two if my list would be believable. 

Also, you have no right to judge. Muse is nearly as bad. 

Well you know what they say, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

In your opinion, which is as valuable as a carrot.

Also good to see the self-promotion post being ignored, otherwise I'd be actually kinda concerned.

Impossible. I loved Linkin Park as a kid, so it's forever embedded as one of those childhood things you're ashamed of.

What makes your opinion more valuable than mine? Your favorite movie is a kids film and 4/5 of your entries are dad rock!  

My opinion is more valuable to me, as yours is to you. Also I'd hardly consider "kids film" and "dad rock" bad things.

Edit: and QotSA is "dad rock"?!
