No, that's completely opinion-based. Objectively, you can prove the worth of nothing really, so trying is pointless.

Shaft:
I can prove the worth of socks. Without them you are nothing. You know it. You so know it.

For the most part, I like Linkin Park... I don't think I've heard anything of theirs (yes, including the Jay-Z stuff) that I didn't at least like. I don't rave about them and I've calmed down about them since the days when I first heard them and I was just starting to listen to the music I wanted to listen to, but I still think they're ok...

Fairly valid points all round, though... I've never been a fan of the whole screaming thing and yeah, the lyrics are pretty cliche, but then, in my opinion, that's what the music is for. It's not groundbreaking in any way, sure, but it's still good to listen to.

I think this whole mentality of either 'band = popular therefore band = teh suck' or 'band = not entirely different from X bands on the market therefore band = teh suck' is pointless anyway... ultimately, an artist or group is invariably releasing records to make money. Holding that against them is self destructive.

And I've gone off on a tangent away from the point I was originally trying to make... hmm...

Yeah, so, that's that.

KharBevNor:
I don't hate anything because it's mainstream, yet I hate or at least dislike a vast majority of 'mainstream' stuff: and it's not like I'm indulging in the hypocrisy of just liking the bands that sound like the mianstream bands except no-one's ever heard of them: I don't like most of that stuff either. I only like stuff I like: I'm actually very un-elitist in that way, I like bands like Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir and Nightwish (up to a point anyway) despite the fact that they're all 'mainstream' and 'sellout' (they've all charted...somewhere), but I mean, just because I listen to Illnath, Gloomy Grim and Epica as well as a vast array of stuff that sounds nothing like those three, doesn't mean I should stop liking them.

Or something.

Anyway, what I was trying to say was something like "Your opinions are respectable, but Linkin Park are still a giant steaming turd on the collective chest of humanity"

yahr.

ForteBass:
That's an interesting outlook, but I'm afraid I have a problem right here:

To say that all artists everywhere are releasing records simply for the sake of making money is a tad off base. It's like saying the great painters of the world are just whores. Yes, there are plenty of people making albums simply for the money, but not anywhere near all of them.
