Yup, i listen to dnb, trance, dubstep, rock, pop, blues, oldie stuff, glamrock, classical. When my mate asked what sort of music i was into, i said 'pretty much everything but metal/goth stuff'. He laughed and said 'everything? yeh right'. I gave him my ipod, he flicked through the artists and then replied with 'weirdo, why do you like everything but metal?' to which i replied 'the spoken word isn't harmonic with the music.'

There ya go, life story

Ah! But you can get instrumental metal! I love metal myself, though I'm not a fan of much lyrical music to be honest.

I like music, not genres. If I dislike something, it's because I don't like it, not because of its genre.

Most people who look at my iPod are just as surprised.

The definition of "metal" is pretty loose as well really.

Tony MacApline can be considered metal, yet it's nothing like "metal" that people usually think involves growling/screaming/screeching.

Same goes for Buckethead too, those his music crosses a lot of genres anyway.

What you've done is the equivalent of linking, no? You've provided a "link" to it in every sense except the web URL.

It isn't a very good song though. I wouldn't disgrace radiohead by buying it. They openly say they hate that era and the most of the songs they made.

So you dont want to like the song because Radiohead dont like them?

Not a big Radiohead fan, love some of their stuff but that really is crap

This is a great example of a sheep.

I've decided not to like Stairway To Heaven because Robert Plant doesn't like it.

I know a friend who dislikes Megadeth because of the problems Dave Mustaine has had with Metalica, not because he doesn't like Megadeth's music.

He's 19, he WAS 16 when he said this.

Oops, double post.

Glaucus · 16 Dec 2009 at 23:15

yep id like to know too, will this one count?

Anybody that says this isn't a good thing must be painfully biased... This has made the Christmas number one so interesting again, even if Rage doesn't get the #1 spot, the journey has been more enjoyable than it has been for years.

Thanks Mr Cowell, for giving us somebody to hate.

PS I believe any site that sells the track for more than 40p will count in the charts.
