me get off my high horse? that was the wholepoint of this thread, are you that dense? i never said thsoe not trained in music couldnt enjoy it...i said that they shouldnt consider themselves and their tastes above everyone else's the way they seem to..... and that they should keep in mind, when calling some artist's work "sh*t", that they would never have been able to do it and therefore should more readily focus on that than the fact a certain piece of work doesnt fit into their narrow field of taste....jsut because you dotn like it does not mean its sh*t, and you should know this if you know that you really havent the foggiest about what it takes to put music together...i mean if you dont know what is required and how the processes work how can you judge the work other than on personal taste? how do you know whether you are picking up on the subtleties that dotn readily present themselves? how can you say soemthing has no structure when you dotn knwo what the structure is supposed to be?
im not telling those of you without musical trainin gto quit reviewing, rather to be a little more objective in the reviews, especially of genres that may not tickle your utmost fancies

hopelevre

No one is 'anti hopelevre' Take a step back from this thread and ask yourself what was the actual point in posting a thread that points out that not every contributor is a musical genius??

What was you actually hoping to achieve, apart from possibly starting a fight..

You dont need to be a musician to enjoy music and want to talk about it, anyway. Music is written to evoke an emotional response in people. If it does that, its succeeded in its aim. Get off your high horse.

Anyway, out of interest, are you a muso??

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

a veritable list of self-deluded, pretentious know-nothings:

We should all thank hopelevre for revealing us as the charlatans we are.

The resounding gratitude will be along any minute...go ahead, hold your breath...

if i posted this thread to name and shame i would have done so...rather i posted it to maybe get those of you guilty of this behaviour to look inwardly for a second, but by your predictable responses i see this may fall on deaf ears

Lets have a witch hunt!

Who are the pretentious bastards, who have the audacity to think they know about music just because they got a couple of Rush albums. Come on lets run the f**kers out of town.

Care to name and shame, hopelevre??

i have been around this site for awhile and a striking dynamic has become increasingly salient....it seems most of you actually have no clue about the fundamnetals behind music...most of you seem to think that because you listen to "prog", what yu all consider the end all be all of music, this means you actually have real musical knowledge...however as is proven here time and agin, when the time comes to make thoughtful statements regarding another's work, the ability is not there...it either sucks because it isnt (yes, genesis, elp) or its brilliant because it is....it engenders a great sense of irony to me that most of you afficianados who are so quik to label yourself musically superior and capable of reviewing musician's work are in fact completely musically illiterate and have absolutely no idea , when it comes to music(other than your personal preferences) about that which it is that yu speak
