OK Hyrudi...you were not calling someone gay for listening to different music.
I have doubts but will take your word for it.
Well played.
I still get the very distinct impression you believe poele who listen to music you do not like are inferior to yourself.
There are a few genres I specifically don't like, such as metal. I don't understand the appeal, but then it's a big world and people are entitled to their tastes.
In the My Favourite Album thread I stated that I was perfectly comfortable with the fact that the list wasn't necessarily what I thought it should be.
I do believe the music industy is the biggest rort on the planet.
Why is it a rort? Prices? Marketing?
A lot of bands I like are obscure and always will be because they don't fit the label templates, but they still have the opportunity to make good albums and sell their stuff and play shows. The web has given more autonomy to many bands in that they can basically control their promotion, and many distribute their own music, either physically or online.
