Your "A true musician" comment is pure rethoric, and somewhat offensive at that, given that you have no ability accurately to draw such a conclusion from such little data.

This came from your post on the other thread, about Genres where you said :
 
 I'm not interested in Singer-songwriter kind of material, so I don't really feel like I should be reviewing it, as I don't feel very objective, and am just not interested in commenting on music that is part of a genre I care very little about. Without genres I just have to browse and browse, wasting time, until I find something I like enough to review (as I don't see the point reviewing music that is part of an aesthetic one knows very little about) - i.e. what's the point of someone who loves DnB to review a classic rock song? Plus, it would just make it so much easier to find more music one actually identifies with.

This tells me you are not objective, and are not open to objectively and openly critiquing songs on here....

Wow, Jim K., that takes the prize as the most emotional and misguided reply I've read in while.

Prove me misguided... so far you have not.. You have only proven yourself to be closed minded..
Kant and Hume, and virtually every other major thinker, have rightly pointed out that aesthetic judgments are burdened with subjectivity.

   This is simply true in theory only.. but artists are more open and able to see things so much more abstractly, that they will and should see things more openly.. which means they can view things without the burden of subjectivity.. They see between the lines..

   you see having been in the music industry for over 20 years, I have studied musicians,  I have seen country stars doing hip hop, and pop stars doing opera..

   Many things will open up your ears, and you will see the true beauty in EVERY style of music.. If you are truly open to it... so, what I see is, you are someone who does not want to participate in the Bandamp system of rating, and critiquing, and you want to skip over all songs except the style you think is cool... that means you want a radio..
 
  You see, putting genres on here will ruin what makes Bandamp the coolest indie music site on the web.. exposure to styles you never thought of... exposure to sounds you normally wouldn't hear... this would be a travesty.... Please understand, I am not trying to attack you, I am simply reading what you wrote, it is there if you read your own post over, you will see why I answeredthe way I did.. it was not misguided, unless you didn't mean it to sound that way... but from where I (and may others I have spoken to) sit, it looks as though you don't want to participate and be a part of the community...
