I think this might be an irreconcilable debate.
I see both sides. On one hand, I agree that "it sucks" is not adequate to explain why you dislike something. But on the other hand, I can't stand Queen (the only song I can tolerate is "Under Pressure" but that's more so because of David Bowie). I totally get that Freddie Mercury was one of the best frontmen and entertainers in music history. But I just can't stand their songs. Killer Queen makes me want to jam ice picks in my ears. I can't explain exactly why (in terms of historical context or musical theory or whatever) but I just find their music intolerable and overrated.
I think there are merits to both sides of this, and I don't think you guys (I assume by your usernames you're both men) will come to an agreement
