I’m pretty sure it made me the scientist I am today.

It’s just that it’s a really odd “explanation”. Good and bad depends a lot on who you ask. Millions of people would probably disagree with your judgement. I’m neither a Robbie Williams fan nor a music expert, but I’m pretty sure “his music is just bad” is not a valid explanation for the phenomenon.

What makes the Spice Girls better than Robbie Williams?

What are those objective criteria that classify music as “bad”?

Sure, Europeans just have bad taste in music, while Americans have good taste in music. That explains everything.

German here. He’s super famous in Germany. I used to think he was an international superstar and only learned a couple of years ago that nobody knows him in the US. Still don’t quite understand how that happened. How is “Feel” and “Angels” not stuck in everyone’s head every once in a while?
