I would recommend having them listen to older stuff (Naveed / Clumsy CDs). Chances are your friends are creating their opinions based on the songs currently on radio, which isn't a good representation of OLP's talent, in my opinion.
You don't need to force your friends to like the same music as you. I mean, if someone thinks they suck, that's their opinion. Any comments you may get can be easily shrugged off. I do it all the time. And hell, the comments usually come from people who ... well ... really, don't have much taste, other then that given to them by the media.
Most of my friends are pretty open-minded about music so they either like what they've heard (which's usually very little), or they're just indifferent...

I tried to convert one of my friends to OLP but she judged the music too fast and I mean FAST. She told me she played "4am" and "Are you sad" but shut them off in like the first 5 seconds cuz they were too slow. Meh, all she listens to is Avril Lavigne

i kind of prefer that my friends dont like the music i do. it just makes it that much more special to meet people with similar tastes. The only downside is that i have very few people to go to concerts with, unless mainstream bands are playing.
Yeah, I've got my share of retarded friends as well. My best friend was getting into them untill she heard them on Conan O Brian. She was like, they are fake, they can't play live and he can't sing at all. They did sound terrible on that show. I just told her they prolly didnt get to do a sound check. She didn't care, she just dismissed them. But that's ok because she listens to Sugar Ray and they blow.

my friends like exactly the same bands as me. so we decided to start a band. because we're upset that we've never been laid.
we are the brand new beatniks. we are the down and outers.
we are the bleeding hearts, beating syncopated, broken rhythm.
our speed is often break neck. we need to slow it down.
tired of being sleepless. tired of being broken.
I've been pretty lucky. My girlfriend is a huge OLP fan. My best fried likes them enough to see them, and all of my friends enjoy them to some degree or another.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.
