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.

I said that lots of informed opinionaters [guitarists] share it. English must be your second language. :D

Nice try. You're straining at that gnat and swallowing a camel, Baggy. :D :D :D
