That is still an opinion though and I have said about certain bands that I listen to that the main reason I listen to them is for the vocalist (Porcupine Tree is an example, I love Steven Wilson's voice), and as you've said you consider me a music enthusiast. Sometimes when forming an opinion, I do agree that it is always good to express it more in depth, honestly I'll listen to someones recommendation if they go more in depth with why they recommend it over someone who says something like "this album is good." I do see where you're coming from, and understand that i'm just debating for debate sake. I just don't really see a difference in traits with general music listeners and music enthusiasts, but again, I do see why you would come to the conclusion that there is a line between the two. Personally, I see them as one thing described as "someone who listens to music," that's all it really needs to be anyway.
I am enjoying your responses though, for once you do seem to be understanding the rules of debate, and it makes it so much easier to talk with you.
