I like coffee and drink it black. But, I genearlly don't like most dark roasts. That doesn't mean they are bad coffee, it just means that I don't care for that style of roast.

I like the flavor of coffee; I just like it with cream and sugar, not black. It's like chocolate: by itself, chocolate is actually pretty nasty, but once they process it and add sugar it's amazing. How you prefer your coffee might have to do with how you're introduced to it (much like booze... and sex, LOL).
I do think that, if coffee is bad, it can be masked much easier by adding cream and sugar. If you drink coffee black, you definitely get the true taste of the coffee and a crappy cup can't hide behind the trimmings. Sometimes I'll drink a cup with sugar but not milk, or with milk but not sugar, and it's amazing how it changes the whole experience.
