Its great that, to you, they are one of the greatest bands out there. I'm sure you have many memories tied up to their songs but everyones experience and tastes are different and you'll have to accept that sooner or later.

Exactly... They broke out in the mid nineties when this kid was like 10 or 12 so that explains a bit. His fanboy crush seems beyond reasonable though as her appears to hold them at god like status which they clearly are not. Neither are the Beatles, but the proof of their greatness lies in their innovation, continued record sales (Top grossing and total albums sold of any other rock group) and staying power.
They are both good, but this kid is blinded.
