Finally got to read the full piece all the way through without distractions. Thought it was brilliant .. of course that might be because I agree with most of what was said. 

Rather enjoyed reading that he couldn't care less about Radiohead. I'll take my interesting and innovative in the form of Wilco thank you.  May as well go for the full confession. I don't like most of the early Beatles music. I get that it was fresh and a foundation for a new direction in music, etc., etc., but I did Not want to hold their hand, or love them yeah, yeah, yeah.  Now the later stuff, esp. Harrison and Lennon ?.. well that is a whole other matter. Gee, that felt good. :D

It can be uncomfortable to disagree with 'conventional wisdom', it can make you question if you are somehow lacking the ability to hear what others do, or conversely, make you question why a song or an artist appeals to you and not to others whose taste you respect.  I'm not sure that's entirely a bad thing, as long as you ultimately decide ..<i> " here's the deal: we all don't have to like the same records and bands. Independent means you can listen to whatever the fuck you want to".</i>  
Doesn't hurt to read something that reinforces that idea every so often though, so ...

Thanks for linking, KC.

gordie ... I liked The Tough Shits song too. Did you try the Mixtapes tab?  Lots of playlists to explore there.
