i totally hear you
nothing has ever made me want to smash a guitar more than having someone try to force me to count while playing.
while i definitely agree that good listening skills are important i really don't think anyone 'needs' ear training. being able to distinguish between a Bb and a F# by ear is probably handy at certain times. but i really don't think it's ever necessary to know that you're hearing a Bb over an F# only that you're able to tell if it's either harmonious or atonal.
or have i been missing out for all these years???? hahah
