I agree here! Midian is great indeed. Many people don't like Cradle Of Filth, and I don't know why.... Maybe because they're not true enough? Call them pop if you want, I think their music is great, don't care what others think or say.
I have "Dusk..." and it's a terrible record if you ask me. I couldn't care less if they're "false". If the music was great I would buy their records, but I think their music is terrible! The only good song they've made is "She mourns a lengthening shadow", which is a great song though! A band like Grimoire seems kind of corny and "false", but there are a couple of good songs on their "Requiem for the light" record.
4. JOHN LENNON - Here's a man who becomes legendary by growing long hair and staying in bed with his missus. Everyone seems to think of him as the greatest person anywhere, ever - in fact, he was an overrated Scouse hippie, and was simply fortunate enough to get into the Dead Rock Stars club.
You're entitled to your opinion like everyone else, but I think you're quite wrong there. Whether you like his music or not is not important here. Personally I don't like his solo work, but I think Beatles has done some great stuff, but that's not important here either. What's important is his work. His companionship with Paul McCartney in the Beatles has produced some of the best songs ever written (not my opinon!). In the 60's The Beatles was the best selling band and they're to this date the best selling band of all time. Not that that neccesarilly means it's good, but Beatles still has loads and loads of fans 30 years after they broke up! People are still fanatic (even more fanatic than they were in the 60's) about their stuff. I've seen their record "Please please me" with the black label and gold lettering go for £6.600!!!! Noone would pay that amount for anything crappy! It's of course a matter of taste, but I think it's fair to say that Beatles are the single band/artist who produced the music with the most quality EVER! If a band comes out now and sells twice as many records as The Beatles, the Beatles will still be the greatest! The new band will be forgotten in 20 years like most of all the other stuff from the 90's and 2000's. You can go out on the street today and ask more or less any person to sing a Beatles song. In 20 years you can't do that with Britney Spears!

Just out of interest can I ask why you don't like Satanic or NS Black Metal? The music really isn't any different to other areas of black metal. If it's their beliefs that make you dislike them then that sucks.

Why the fuck does that suck??! There's something like "principles", ring a bell??! I don't care how brilliant the music is (in the far majority it isn't), but that NS crap gives a nasty taste in the mouth, so I don't listen to it.
You got me going here, I fucking HATE NS bands and everything connected to NS with a passion
To me it's not important which beliefs the band has as long as I like the music. If Britney Spears made a good song I wouldn't say "Goddamn, that sucks" just to "keep my principles alive". I can't deny what I feel and I think it's odd that someone claims they can. If I played a song for you and you said "Goddamn, that was a SUPERB song!!!" and I told you the group was a bunch of satanic nazi punks would you start to dislike the song? I can't understand how that is possible. I can understand that you don't want to support nazi shit and such, no doubt about that, but I can't see how you can deny what you feel because of what the bands beliefs are. When you hear a song for the first time it's the music that catches you, not how the members think (as you probably doesn't know this at the time). As I said, you don't control your own feelings, whether it's "Oh I love you Carol" or it's "Goddamn that's a superb/crappy song!" or whatever it is.
Enough of that. Things I dislike/hate:
Drum n' bass: I'm one of those people that listen to more or less listens to ANY kind of music (if the genre existed before 1980 I'm pretty sure you can find it in my collection), but I think it's fair for me to say that I hate drum n' bass. A friend of mine is a major fan of drum n' bass and every time I visit him I listen to that crap. The only song I ever liked in that genre was Dom & Roland's "Can't punish me" and I bought the 12", but it got tiresome after 5-10 listens. I've never heard anything else in that genre that reaches my mediocre grade. Some is of course better (or less worse) than other, but there's so many songs in that genre that is completely awful!! A "hate band" in that genre is probably Bad Company (not the rock band, but a drum n' bass band with the same name). They're hardcore drum n' bass and I can't stand 2 seconds of their music! T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't hate pop as such. I think they're lots of good pop songs, but all of the pop songs I like are from the 60's. There are a few pop songs from the 70's, 80's and 90's that I like, but that's like a handfull for each decade. I dislike the 90's popmusic as such though. Stuff like boy bands, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and so on. The best Britney song I've heard is "I'm a slave 4 you", but that doesn't get higher than between crappy and terrible. All of the other stuff I've heard from her is terrible.
I don't know if there's other stuff that I downright hate. A record like Miles Davis' "Bitches brew" is terrible if you ask me, although I have 4 of his other records. Jacques Coursil's "Black suite" is terrible as well!
I don't listen to music released after 1981 (except for metal, Hedningarna, Dead Can Dance and a few songs here and there), so it's hard for me to find anything that I hate. My radio is tuned in on "ANR Guld FM", which plays old stuff, so I don't really know that much new music.
