These are all perfectly acceptable positions. Fan of certain works constantly deride the other artists that arrive in the slipstreams of their successors. Just because you like one band from a genre doesn't mean you have to like all of them. Most genres contain good stuff and shit stuff.
Oh I know it's perfectly acceptable, I was just saying that I wouldn't be surprised if he changed his mind.

Despite all I said before about this being a waste of time next to "Run", I do surprise myself with how much I like it every time it comes on.
I'd also put money on Bray liking it in years to come. His claims to hate it despite loving Coldplay remind me of how I used to hate "Welcome to the Black Parade" when I was his age despite "American Idiot" being my favourite album.

I'm being serious. Look at Lose Yourself. Almost every syllable in that song rhymes, but Shakespeare just rhymes the syllables at the end of every line. Oh sorry, he sometimes alternates them aswell.
Was Eminem writing in the 16th century though? "Stan" is a good time to bring this up actually, given it's the one word he's responsible for bringing into the dictionary. Shakespeare has dozens and dozens.

Didn't Dilemma get to #1 in the US as an album track? Or something like that I read once.
How would that have worked in the days of CD singles?
Every other female pop star should have just given up on the club bangers after "On The Floor" (I'm looking at you, Tulisa), really. It's a pretty faultless spin on the formula.

Nelly is one of those artists whose big hits were always completely listenable but looking back at it you wonder how he ever became such a star. "Dilemma" doesn't have anything on "Hot in Herre" or "Just a Dream", though.
It seems as if the three BEP singles from "The E.N.D." in the top 150 (how many other albums have three other than "Loud"?) are getting progressively worse. "Boom Boom Pow" is excellent but I never got the fuss for "Meet Me Halfway". The less said about the other one, the better.
