In the zone where hair metal was phasing out and a better and brighter future was rolling in there were a few metal tangential but not quite funky dorks like Scatterbrain and Lord Tracy. Maybe the Limbomaniacs too but I haven’t heard them in 30 years and maybe I’m remembering them wrongly.

I mean if you give it an honest listen and don't like it, then you don't like it. If you listen and don't think it rocks, people saying words to you isn't going to change anything.

I wouldn't say it makes you stupid, unenlightened or shallow. But, you have forever lost my trust as a source for what rocks and what doesn't.

Yeah you're extremely unintelligent! How do you not like Tool?! Not a fan of the 3579/65 time signatures? Do you even know what the fettucini sequence is?!

I have purchased tens of thousands of songs from iTunes/ Apple Music. I also downloaded MP3s of songs I had already paid for on vinyl, tape, and CD. Plus from the public domain. I don't think we should need to pay for royalties more than once. One of my sons suggests that music and films ripped from the web do not cost the producers because those who like the material catalyze purchases by their friends and many of those will pay for royalties. HBO agreed with this suggestion while marketing Game of Thrones which was called the most pirated show up to that time. Clearly there are several different ethical constructs in play.
