god??? yes, i am god. i heard your prayer last night, that's some sick shit man... anyway, even if i wasn't god, my qualification for having an opinion is having a brain. can you prove to me that you have one or are you going to just sit there and kumbaya some more? everyone crying "you don't have the right to say that!" is full of shit. i have the right to say whatever i think, you have the right to say whatever you think. if you want to take my words to be some higher authority then be my guest. if you feel what i say disagrees with what you think, try forming a reasoning behind why i am wrong. stop whining about "who made you the boss?" obviously you did if that's what you're thinking.

u can say what u want, but just because u dont like something, doesnt make it bad per se

I edited out the word "anyway", that took some bite out...

Send this to a Hollywood writer, have them put it in a movie. Maybe a Pacino monologue for a Devil's Advocate sequel.

i don't believe i've used the word bad once here. i did refer to commercial music as cheap, cheesy, formulaic, mediocre, generic, conventional, pedestrian, unoriginal and uncreative though. if you disagree, please by all means debate the issue here. i just ask that you stop confusing what's being said. what you keep missing again and again is the main theme of my every post in this thread: that money/djmag is not a valid argument for the comparative quality of music.

im not arguing that money/djmag equals that, im just stating its subjective.....what one person likes, one might hate, doesnt make it good or bad

i didn't say you were arguing that, but this conversation started way before you chimed in. i'm not talking about preference here either. if you'll notice i deliberately sidestepped people's preference because it's painfully obvious that exists. nevertheless, there are commercial djs and they play/make cheap, generic music. i've already pointed out there are people who like that. it doesn't change the fact that it's cheap and generic. i feel like i've said this before... now i feel like i'm arguing semantics and this has gotten very old. where's tommy ffs...

Theres no such thing as a truly valid argument for the comparitive quality of music because it ultimately comes down to the listener's personal tastes. Just because many listeners prefer shallower music doesn't make their appreciation of a track less valid. If someone likes a song, then it's "good" to them. That's all it comes down to.

It's pointless to try to rank the "best" musicians because of the subjective nature of music, but if you were forced to do it impartially how would you do it other than ask everyone for their favorite and see who came out on top?
