Well said, V.  That's a large part of the reason why I decided to enter the discussion with Marc in the first place.  Regardless of a person's personal tastes, I LOVE music, and I love discussing it, also regardless of a person's personal preferences.  That's why I don't just automatically bash those on the list who profess to liking 'Nsync or BSB.  I PERSONALLY don't like their music, but millions DO, and they have every right to.  I PERSONALLY am a HUGE (most likely, the HUGEST on the list) Metallica fan, but millions AREN'T, and there is nothing wrong with that.  It's not my job to convince them they're wrong for not liking Metallica (that's for the marketers).  I'm just here to offer my opinions on music (and occasionally OTHER topics), and to say that CREED ROCKS!

First of all, I didn't personally attack you....I said you're annoying in that you continually try to persuade the fans of the band to believe that because you're not a fan, we should likewise, not be fans of the music.  I find that terribly annoying, hence not an attack, but rather a personal opinion.  Something you keep saying we should all validate of yours, so I respectfully maintain my rights to my own.   I also did not address anything other than exactly what you said....it needs no clarification.  Lastly, as to your last sentence included in this e-mail....why do you seem to think that there is some sort of debate to be won here?  This is music we're discussing here...music!  Music is an art form, music is a relative art form....we're not debating the right or wrong of the death penalty here....it's not like you can say....well the music is bad because...blah blah blah....and convince me you're right and I'm wrong.  There IS no right or wrong about MY OWN preference to music....the simple fact is, I like it...how much you dislike it has absolutely NO effect on my opinion of the music.  You can TRY to analyize the hell out it all you want, but your continual arguments to try to prove you're "right" about it are just that much more annoying.  Yes, annoying....I stand by that assessment.
