But I just hate it when so many people use it as a criteria. "This band sucks because they have no feeling, this band is amazing because they have so much feeling, etc", to me it's just a useless word with no real meaning or significance, its just something people like to use to defend their questionable points of view.
Not to say a musician can't pour their emotion into the music, but whats the criteria for feeling? How do you rate it and measure it accurately? How do you judge and decide what is "true" feeling and what is just pretentious bibble babble? How do sense it? How can you be even remotely objective about it?
Be truthful, you can't say you know which bands use "real" emotion and which ones don't, you can't read their minds, you can't see into their hearts. Hell, maybe I was wrong before, maybe Dream Theater DO put more emotion into their music than The Ramones. Who's to say?
