In essence, in all things.... it is like The Dude says.
"Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man."
Objectivity is fine, but it is also mental lock, a slavery, a dogma upon one's self and if pushed upon others, is no less than a violence upon others that has no root in reality.
Until people understand this, for the most part... they will be the unwitting vassal and chattel of others. Fears as projection and sword against the unknown, all voiced as hard realities, truths. Almost comical but so bent it's frightening.
I'm not sure you can find anything more screwed up than that.

So, yes, we're at an impasse. And, frankly, as fun a topic as this might be, perhaps a "Philosophy, ontology, and epistemology" thread would be a better place to lob this out.
I'll leave with this then step out: so if that's your opinion, then how can you project that on to anyone else? What is this reality that we commonly share that allows you to judge that other's judgement is so, dare I say it, objectively wrong? As much as I'll confess that my roommate (paleo diet) brought TWO pieces of cake home from a work function last week so that I could (1) have my cake and (2) eat it, too, in such manners as this: it cannot go both ways. The sword cuts on both edges.

AFAIK Yusuf lives in London - saw a write up a few years ago. Maybe he's moved.
Sorry, I'm likely biased, Chris Carter was living with Christine across the street and introduced me to sound when I was a pre-teen. Not heard from them in a very long time.
I agree. Just because someone is a moderator he has not ceased being a person with his own tastes. He made it clear that was his opinion only. By no means the view of the official forum. That's all right with me, so long as does not enforce it in any way. Which was definitely not the case here.
On pure taste, I disagree, I think Fleetwod Mac was one of the better bands all around, from "Albatross" to "Rumours". Or from "The Green Manalishi" if it came before the "Albatross".
Count me in, Andrew. I have a nicely rouded off collection of Cat Stevens, inluding his EPs. "Morning has broken" is often played at my home, as are "O Caritas" and "Lady D'Arbanville". Loved this guy from the "Tea for the rillerman" LP from the early 70-ies to this day, in continuation.
How are you fixed for The Incredible String Band? Their piece "Air" is to me THE best ever junkie song
Would you believe I not once made it halfway this song without crying ?

I approve but only because it stops me feeling guilty about all the experimental synth music I have. Personally I prefer a stack of keyboards over one and everything else sequenced, but that's just me. A hammond being used as a weapon also adds cred
