Whereas you would put something like HAEWAFY next to Big Yellow Taxi, most people would laugh you right out of the room.
Who gives a ****e who laughs at me - it is my opinion and that is all that matters in the end. I mean some critics and people love Yoko Ono and all of her "art." Again, you are trying to assert your and other opinons on what I and others think is good if not great. It is an unwinnable argument because the "more people agree with me" argument is fallacious

As for the level of respect - wasn't it Bette M. that just called La Nicks the voice of a generation last week at her concert Many Many like her - yet you dismiss them so easily. I think you are being purposefully argumentative
