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.

‘Pod

Did you just say that 'lots' of people share that opinion then go on to say that lots of people liked Staying Alive even though it sucked?

I hope you can see the irony.

Anyway, the ability to play the guitar does not make an 'informed opinion'. It makes a technical expert. Like as if the sausage maker can tell if the sausage tastes better than can the sausage eater.

p.s. Don't feel bad. Lots of people like sucky music just cause everybody else does. Or cause the mob pays to get air play on the radio stations (olden days).

There's lots of reasons sucky music becomes popular.
