Steve Albini: I really really dislike his productions and do not get why people rate this guy. He really goes overboard with the whole lo-fi thing: those Jesus Lizard records are unlistenable. I like his own music even less. I remember when as a teenager, after hearing so many people rave about it, I finally bought Songs About Fucking: talk about huge disappointment. I keep giving Albini a chance, and he keeps underwhelming me.

Foo Fighters: I dug the first album and it also got the sympathy vote: I remember the emotion I felt on hearing This Is A Call for the first time, and its links to the Nirvana sound. Ever since then I've hated every FF song I've heard: it's bland, boring, vacuous feel-good stadium rock. And I hate that journalists repeatedly bang on about Grohl being such a nice guy: I've interviewed him twice, he's not that nice. And hiding behind him on With Teeth has been one of TR's weaker moves.

Fall Out Boy: some of their songs are great: Patrick Stump has a nice soulful voice and Wentz can pen some good lyrics; at their best they transcend the emo-pop-punk scene which spawned them and just make great pop. I hope they get back together.
