Is it normal to get frustrated when people criticize my favorite band?

When ever I'm getting to know someone I'll ask about their musical preferences. Well Everytime I tell them my favorite band a lot of them degrade and criticize my favorite band even though they have never had one bad album. is it normal to get frustrated at people who do that?

    I make friends very easily because I don't criticise what other people like once they tell me that they like it. That is rude as hell. Now if you asked me for my opinion of the band, and I didn't like it, I'd say "well, they're ok" not "I f**king hate them and everything they stand for". I don't know enough about any band to spread that much hate.

    Now if I am really high, that is a different story.

    They sound like assholes, tell them that their opinions aren't as valid as their parents say they are.

      Those are horrible bands, so it should not be normal because they suck.

    I could go on all day having a flame war with someone if the say anything about the bands I like, but then i'll go right around and make a joke about them myself, lol.

    I don't criticise someone for having different likes and dislikes as far as music as long as they don't criticise me. I don't like when people are jealous and shit talk people though. Like some guy was spreading rumours about the lead guy from Bayside. Well they did have an internet war but I think he exaggerated a bit. He's just an asshole.

    Im curious aswell. Very normal, however if they HAVE actually listened( judging from the story, most/all havent) and still dislike them, at least respect their opinion. Unless their dicks about it, which is usually the case
