I find myself less able to become exercised about music I don't like any more, as the modern output of watered down, manufactured, auto-tuned dribble is, in the vast majority, just hateful.
I do quite enjoy my heretical distaste for The Beatles - as Vasty alludes to, the sentimental Scouse industry that has grown up around them is crashingly dull and has created a mythology that in my view, isn't justified.
I also like to dislike Muse; they are a classic example of how a collection of excellent musicians does not necessarily equate to a good band. Dull, pseudo-intellectual, self-indulgent and sanitised - it's not for me, I'm out.
Finally, I can summon up a passionate dislike for Williams; smug, strutting and unable to play an instrument, sing or write a song, he has the singular talent of believing his own hype.
