I stand by my initial post, if you like a variety of music (not a variety of artists within one style) then you can objectively judge music because your bias is not as extreme or pronounced.

i'm going to have to agree with you zaraki
even here in these forums
i know that i'm more likely to listen to a list of music posted by one member over another simply because my tastes coincide with the one
and i think of the lists as reviews of a sort
i think all of us do that
really
ask yourself
do you have the time to sit and listen to
every new band/album/song?
most of us don't and we rely on networks of like-minded -- well -- critics, like our friends and acquaintances and internet buds
and for my part
i would rather read what zaraki has to say about an album
than what i might have to say about it

Because once you judge something objectively there isn't room for conflicting viewpoints. Essentially, you're saying that anyone who disagrees with you must be wrong.

it seems to me that what he'd be doing is stating his informed observations and that wouldn't necessarily rule out debate/discussion
and when it comes to which opinion you trust more
it would be unwise
not to opt for experience and diversity of taste
imho
