I absolutely can not stand Phil Collins or anything he's involved in.  Same thing goes for Bruce Hornsby.  To me these two are the equivalent of musical paint drying on a wall. 

That's against the grain?  God help us...

Might be a little against the grain, so to speak, but:
I like some thrash metal, but I can't stand Megadeth and feel they're entirely overrated as a band. 

Also, I like rap to a certain extent and am not bothered at all when certain acts are inducted in the Hall of Fame.  I know it's called the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame", but it's just music and it's not really 'important' anyway.  Anyway, didn't most rock stem from R&B anyway, and rap is another form of it.  Especially earlier rap acts like Grandmaster Flash, Run DMC, Public Enemy, etc who actually made statements with their music, as opposed to say, 50 Cent who's all about 'Big cars, big chains, lots of ladies."

I absolutely can not stand Phil Collins or anything he's involved in.  Same thing goes for Bruce Hornsby.  To me these two are the equivalent of musical paint drying on a wall.

Believe it or not, I know A LOT of people who quite love Collins, his music, and his time in Genesis.  Me personally, well, outside of "In the Air Tonight" I don't like him.  Well, and "I Can't Dance" but for entirely different reasons.

I personally loathe musicians who stated on their albums during the 1980's that "_______________ is totally opposed to South Africa and apartheid" but still allowed their music to be sold and played here.  Question

Nickelback- Boring and uninspired generic rock.  Totally overrated.

Linkin Park- Just irritating.  Chester can sing, sure, but the instrumental music sucks, the lyrics suck, and the subject matter is eyeroll-tastic.

Animal Farm- Metaphorically significant, but a boring book.

RA Salvatore- Not as bad of an author as some people claim.

Amadeus- A very boring movie.

Fox News- I don't know if saying it's ridiculous trash is really against the grain, but yeah...

Sarah Palin- I don't get the hype.  I still think she's an idiot, no matter how much PR has tried to help her.

The idea of things being "meant to happen" or "happening for a reason"- Delusional.

The Simpsons- Better than Family Guy, and always will be. (although I still like Family Guy)

Heroes- Sucks after season 1. 

Inferno- I like it, but I think it's Argento's most overrated film.  It's not as awesome as some people make it sound.

Manhunter- Not as good as Red Dragon.

Edit: added a few more

Bad Girls Club- One of the worst shows on television.

Project Runway- Okay, so I'm going to let out a dark secret right here.  It's kind of a guilty pleasure... .... ... I like this show.  I watch it with my fiancee.  I like seeing some of the things people come up with when thrust into uncommon clothing making situations.

My opinion: in visual terms, Manhunter was way better than Red Dragon but I think those two films had the same cameraman, Dante Spinotti.

I can appreciate that, but in their defence, the media in the rest of the world didn't exactly give a complete picture of the country or the issues there. A lot of us, at the time, got all of our knowledge of South Africa from tightly focused and oversimplified news reports, outspoken celebrities (great source of information there Lookingup), and Lethal Weapon 2. If I hadn't met a few really nice countrymen of yours in the intervening years, I probably would still have held the viewpoint of a North American teenager in the 1980s.

I've often gotten myself into serious doodoo with an opinion like this, but I also loathe filmmakers who make films about SA's supposedly unique past and those same filmmakers conveniently choose to conveniently ignore the problems in their own countries. People that can be named and shamed here would be Richard Cry FreedomAttenborough, Chris A World ApartMenges, Richard Lethal Weapon 2 Donner, Euzhan A Dry White SeasonPalcy, RalphThe Wilby Conspiracy Nelson, John The Power Of OneAvildsen and many others.

If I were to make a film in the USA, Britain or Australia about black marks on their historical pages there would be no limit to the amount of ass-kicking I would get and quite rightly so ~ it isn't my history, so I should tell my own stories.  Smile

Budweiser- I think it's the best tasting beer on the market.  I'll be damned if anyone says otherwise.

Kid Rock- I think he's quite talented.  That's a bit of a taboo, apparently.

Mortal Kombat: The Movie- Thought it was a pretty decent adaption of the game series, granted, they only had about 2-3 games at the time so it was a bit easier to do a flick.

Consider yourself damned.   Wink  Even among mass-marketed American lagers, I prefer Miller, the champagne of beers!  Cheers

Miller is better than Coors, but I don't like the taste.  Makes me wanna puke.  Even if I have just one.  Of all the beers out there I've tried, all have tasted horrible to me except Budweiser.
