After following this thread (and others like it in the past), I'd just like to say:

With all the people on this board who are very into music (much more than the average joe), there are some of the most close-minded, opinionated people on here.

I'll have to admit I'm not the biggest fan of Eminem, but he's very talented when it comes to his writing skills, rapping skills and overall ability to express himself as he sees fit. Sure, he's got some REALLY bad/scary songs (see "Kim"), but he's got some great, catchy tunes (like "Without Me").

And I've said this before. I'll happily admit to listening to things like Britney Spears, 'N Sync, Limp Bizkit, etc. They all have their own merits.

So, try to appreciate all kinds of music and not make stupid comments like "I hate Eminem" without any justification as to why you made the statement.
