What if I told you that my favorite Celtic album was the Riverdance soundtrack?
I'd think you needed re-education, but if after plentiful exposure to the good stuff you still didn't like it, I'd conclude you were just missing the right gene to appreciate it and not bug you as long as you were clear that Riverdance is Celtic very very Lite.

Susan, fwiw, I think REM is way the heck overrated.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Finally Cindy has a music opinion that I can agree with.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's true.
Crazy.

There's a very funny interview with the Primo Pastafarian, Prophet Bobby Henderson, here:
Believers of the FSM are normal people, living normal lives. Certain rituals must be followed, however, most of them having to do with pasta and/or pirates. Random acts of piratical expression are encouraged. Flipping off a stranger, for example, would not only be hilarious, but would also go a long way in pleasing Him, bringing you that much closer to FSM heaven, which, among other attractions, features a Beer Volcano...
I think FSM does a better job [than ID] of explaining what would motivate the creator to go to so much trouble to change our scientific results in order to make the universe appear older than it truly is. Tampering with our radioisotope measurements, geographic observations and, perhaps most impressive, placing individual photons enroute to earth, suitably redshifted, in an effort to mislead us is not only an act of an intelligent maker, but also an anarchistic, mischevious one. It is for this reason that we believe pirates must be His Chosen subjects, as their personality perfectly embodies the mischevious spirit of the FSM. Virtually no field of science goes untouched by His Noodly Appendage.

My meh toward REM is a voice/sound thing that I can't quite put my finger on. They just grate a little, and not in a good way.
