I don't buy this Objective stuff at least when it comes to music anyway.
It's all personal opinion however you dress it up. It's just that some peoples personal opinion has more influence than others. I don't pretend to speak for anybody else when I forward an opinion and to do anything else but that to me smacks of arrogance & egotism.
I mean what is Objectively anyway?
I don't think anyone has ever looked at an album like Blonde on Blonde or Revolver or Pet Sounds in an objective way.
They're albums that struck a chord with people at the right time in the right place both musically & socially ,and are fondly remembered for doing so , that's why they are regarded so highly. They're not regarded highly because someone looked at them and decided they were the finest example of music ever made and then decreeing it to everybody.
