Thing is with music, or any arts Rouge, is that what's good for one , is not good for another.
In hockey, I had one job...to win. And it was never at the expense of the team "looking good" to do so. Or playing a certain "style" of hockey. If it won...it was good. Period.
I am NOT a Jazz/Blues fan per se, in fact i think much of it boring and far over reated, but that doesnt mean the bands/musicians do. In fact, just the opposite.
I love old 70's funk and R&B...but clearly that wouldnt make me any good at judging todays R&R bands beyond whether I like them or not.
No different with music snobs.
Telling someone else what they should like/listen to/support is nothing short of obnoxious and self-serving. It's not their place to tell me what I like, nor what I consider good.

Well it is the internet. Someone asked an innocent question about a CD (or really anything at all that they like) and of course people jumped in with "what you like SUCKS"!. Kind of lame (and I'm obviously guilty) but what are you gonna do? It's the nature of the beast it seems.
It's all about opinions I guess. You and I know as well as anyone on this forum that we all have some pretty different opinions of things. It's not a lot of fun if we didn't. It doesn't mean it's snobbery. I don't think someone is a snob if they don't like a favorite of mine.
Anyhow, (and this is for everyone), you think the hatred for Nickelback is crazy, but what about the love? I don't think we'd get the same response from supporters if someone said they hated Elvis Presley.
