Its cool if you have a legitimate reason.

"Just as the blind imagine/what it is to have sight"

That's my legitimate reason.

But yeah, it is wrong to assume everyone hates it (but that is also obvious at the show given the cheers it gets).

Whats wrong with "Just as the blind imagine/what it is to have sight"?

I always hear a good cheer for SOL so that's false, considering trey usually nails the solo.

To the last point, my sentence structure was convoluted, but what I meant was that since SoL gets huge cheers every time they play it, it is obvious that most people like/love it.

And as for what's wrong with the line I quoted, well, it is one of the most trite lyrics in the history of rock and roll. It hits my ear like nails on a chalkboard.

Like a lot of people who posted in this tread, I am no ballad hater. I even love the much maligned Bug, for example. But, as much as I wish it were otherwise, I hate Show of Life, and none of you will convince me it is a good song. (Just like I won't convince those of you who love it that it sucks!)
