Greater Than Sign

> (greater than) or < (less than) is used in comparing bands and will by far be your greatest ally in attacking someone else's horredous taste in music (or taste in anything!). Remember, the more you use, the more factual your argument!

For bonus marks, incorporate Weezer and Pavement into the equation, especially when comparing them as worse to a terrible band. Like so:

Nickelback >>>>>> shit >> Weezer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Pavement

Author's note: "shit" is always a good choice for use in comparisons because it conveys just the right amount of condescension without sounding too thoughtful of others feelings.
