Whats your beef with the Melvins? Until you get a decent taste dont knock them

I listened to a song by them...went downhill after that.
Others are using me as a mouthpiece to say these things too, I think you Irish call it an agenda, I wanted to use the word conspiracy but wasn't sure how to spell it.
