I don't take issue with what the Grammys do at all - I don't watch them either, but I don't have a problem with them. I was just responding to another person's opinion that seemed to state "if you don't like my music, you aren't a fan of music".

Fair enough about the Grammys, but I think you're misunderstanding that other quote then.
No one is saying that you have to like what they like (at least I didn't read it that way), but I think a lot of people in this thread would argue that a well rounded and exposed ear to lots of music, an active interest in purchasing music, and frequently attending music concerts gives you a more credible opinion when trying to judge music on some technical level as the Grammys does.
The people on that facebook page who haven't even heard of the Arcade Fire clearly would not fit into that category.
