There's a big difference in saying RHCP and The Rolling Stones are still relevant because they still sell records, get new fans, sell out concerts.....and saying that U2 or Bob Dylan are still relevant because they sell records, have sell-out concerts....
The difference is...some of those groups are crap...and others are not...(just...relax), and if you have your ear to the ground and your finger on the pulse of what most of their peers, their critics, and INTELLIGENT music lovers say about these artists, it's quite clear determining who are in the crap category and who are still respected (and it doesn't matter if you yourself like U2 or Bob Dylan...they still make quality music).
I never suggested you like those bands...I just think you can't handle what I'm saying about them.
Now leave me alone about this stuff. Anyone here with any clue would get what I just said...I really don't have to justify it any further.

There's absolutely no difference, because it's still an opinion. The validity of which is no better than anyone elses, regardless of "intelligence", because people don't speak out of intelligence, they speak out of preference, which means what they say is always subjective.
..and I can "handle" what you're saying. I'm not in denial, and like I said, I just don't care. You're stuck thinking that people's opinions can be greater than one another's.
Thanks for saving me, I could feel my face turning all red, and my feet were beginning to shuffle.
Aside from that, your supposed validation of them being "the biggest farce of a band on the planet" is a song they recorded more than 4 years ago. Since then, they have released an album to wide-critical acclaim that is arguably their most consistently strong album ever!
It's weird, you continually go on about a band's 'relevancy' (as if that is a valid criteria to musical quality, anyway...), yet none of your posts have any of it. Is this some sort of post-modern gimmick, or are you just really, really bad at this discussion thing?
Was it your rattle? Rock and roll, dude! Rock. And. Roll.
