Why would it not be a legitimate reason to not like a band? If somebody likes guitar solos so much that he can't listen a song without a guitar solo its a completely legitimate reason not to like a band that uses max 1 guitar solo per album if any.

Thing is, not all of us like guitar solos. I like maybe 5-10% of guitar solos I've heard. Problem is a) They started being used for display of technical skills rather than musical purposes, b) They started being overused.

For me the lack of guitar solos is more of a reason to LIKE Nu Metal than to dislike it.
