There are two types of anything. Things you like and things you don't like. That goes for everything - food, music, art, TV shows, ect.
I disagree.

OK joking aside I also want to thank you for staying calm after I snarked out.
Like Popeye, "I can stands so much and I can't stands no more", and the Yoko thing is a recurring topic.
I think it's pretty obvious where I stand, I try to keep a balanced viewpoint about her myself.
Nobody's a saint, not even John Lennon, and he's even one of my top 5 heroes.
And still it doesn't mean I blindly accept everything he did just because
he did it.
But when it comes to Yoko, I think the reverse is true, most critics cite their opinions as being based on one or 2 negative listening experiences or stories, ergo, she's not an artist and never will be.
So very few from "our generation" go looking to see if there was anything there to
actually like (artistically).
In my case they became a couple during a critical formative period of my own life, I was listening to the AM radio when "The Ballad of John and Yoko"
came out, and I
got it.
And like others mentioned, if she was good enough for John she was good enough for me, and I always looked at her through that lens.
And like Walrus said, I think she literally saved his life, too.
Without her (or somebody who could give him a similar channel for self-repair) he
would have self-destructed.
Far from being an opportunist she took a lot of doody from him herself.
Oh well, enough.
I propose that we've concluded our annual Yoko-bashing contest with yet another draw.

We now return to our regularly scheduled thread.
Guitars:
Which sounds better: square or round?
Or how about the corollary:
Are square guitars capable of producing undistorted sine waves?
?
