People complain about it way too much. They're just tags. Who cares what genre someone thinks A Perfect Circle is?

The entire premise of last.fm is for you to find music that is similar. If a few people screw up their tags, then you might be reccomended My Chemical Romance when you want artists similar to Muse.

It probably wouldn't suck so much if, 

a.) People fixed their tags

b.) People stopped being idiots when they tag. Seriously, just look at the emo tag. They have Coheed & Cambria, Weezer, various punk bands, and other stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with emo.

Like jaydough said, it would be better if people used the right tags, the system is actually fine and simple but the users don't use it properly at all.

 There's a lot more wrong with that site than just the tagging system. I haven't really used the site anymore since the big re-design.

Yeah, it's pretty bad. That's why I haven't listened to any kind of tagged radio on there for ages. They really should moderate that stuff.
