Heh, but "this is the best according to so-and-so" is putting it in subjective terms. The word "best" doesn't automatically imply a claim of objectivity.

Not to split hairs, but, the second sentence he posted was what I was referring to this whole time. "That is the best beatles song", or whatever he said.

Okay. I felt the fact that he qualified it the line before with "I say" made it subjective. Just a continuation of that. But this is all semantic. I do agree with your base contention that things like this shouldn't be given objective value.

I agree with your base contention too that to claim one song is the best is purely an objective statement of fact and not an opinion.
For example when shuan ryder sings twisting my melon man he is not in fact having an actual melon been twisted but is in fact singing exactly thus.
Yet all my letters to him have gone without proper reply and my various correspondence with his record company have only concluded that his phrase 'twisting my melon" is not in fact a statement of fact but merley his observation and therefore my case for compensation will be taken no further.
It just irks me when artists claim such things so much.
Bowie still owes me for claiming that a starman is waiting in the sky but 25 years on he still hasn't come to meet me.
His lawyers say he was talking allegorically which I take issue with on four different points which I will tell you after I have finsished writing my letter of complaint to the record company of oasis for claiming they were the best band in the world in 96 when I have serious contentions that during the era known as britpop a band calling themselves U2 were in fact a far better example of the best band in the world and I am yet to get a conclusive repsonse.
It just irks me so much you know.

It's not the same thing at all. Artists use objectives to prove their point. It's just ignorant when people say "this is the best..." etc.

It's not ignorant, presumptuous maybe but most people use its the best/my favorite interchangeably it's not something to get anal over. Boohoo.
