With that said, hate is a strong word. Musical celebrities I could do without:

Flo-Rida
Britney Spears
Deicide, Cannibal Corpse and the like - I just don't get it. They sound like an angry Cookie Monster
Fall Out Boy
Ashlee Simpson
Kanye West

Nickelback, Creed, Seether, M.I.A., Coldplay, U2, Disturbed, Staind, KoRn, Puddle of Mudd, Trapt, Akon, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Beyonce, Jack Johnson, Hed P.E., Soulja Boy, T.I., Justin Timberlake, The Fray, Britney Spears, Shinedown, Rascall Flatts, Black Eyed Peas, Plain White T's.

I'll stop there, but all I have to say is that I really feel bad for this generation's music.

Say what you will about West's lyrical ability, but his ability to produce a track is second to none. It's one thing to sample a song and call it a production but to take multiple, often obscure, samples and mash them together to create something brand spanking new- as if these bits and pieces should have always been married together.

Again, I can often pass on his lyricism, but he's a musical genius, bar none.
