Actually, more seriously, this could be a whole different discussion. Couldn't music be good or bad by more objective criteria than by whether it appeals to our "taste"?
If I were Ian Gillan you don't think I'd be talking to the likes of you, do you? :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
I'm sure there are more objective criteria when deciding whether music is good or not. You could judge a piece of music purely on its technical merits, but that wouldn't explain why it moves some people but leaves others cold. In my opinion, the fact that music is so varied and subjective is what makes it so interesting.
I guess I just hate pigeonholing, especially when it comes to the assumption that being gay means you'll like anything that is shallow, tacky or naff.
