Look, I think John Mayer is a terrible musician. His music is derivative and poor, and he's an average guitar player at best. He's like a much less interesting and less talented Nick Drake. It's radio-friendly cookie-cutter crap. Objectively speaking.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't care enough to even post about it. 90% of popular music is garbage anyway. He just... doesn't stand out from the crowd, that's all. I'm sure he's a super guy, but it is weird for such an average musician to be so overrated. He's like the Brian Campbell of popular music.

What's more interesting to me is that you first claim it's all a matter of opinion, and then feel the need to defend him.

If that's true, then you shouldn't be proclaiming that people who like John Mayer's music "have no taste"....should you?
