Informed opinion vs. opinion.

Music is to be listened to. Everybody who does is an 'informed listener'.

And you still haven’t refuted my point, Baggy.

What, is your point that you play the guitar? I have no reason to refute that, I believe you. That doesn't make you an expert on what sounds good or what is 'good music'.

Did Hendrix have fast fingers? Sure. Did his music sound good? No.

Again, Baggy, you haven’t refuted my point.

He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

Hendrix’s music is fantastic. It ain’t just me that has this opinion. Lots and lots of informed opinionaters share it.

And I don’t share your definition of ‘informed listener.’

One listen to ‘Stayin’ Alive’ should convince you of that. That horrid song was a huge hit back in the disco craze, and it disproves your definition.

If you don’t buy that, try ‘Summer Breeze’ or ‘Don’t Stop Believing.’

Those songs make my ears bleed.

Thanks for playing.

There are many types of music. What sounds "good" to you?
