For example, I personally can't listen to Guns and Roses without immediately thinking "that Axl sure is an asshole", and that sours the entire experience.

Yeah there's definitely a line there for me.

I don't care if they are an asshole. They're just people at the end of the day.

But I can't listen to lost prophets or Gary glitter.
