Fun Stuff > BAND
Anyone here dislike Sufjan Stevens?
ScrambledGregs:
All I ever see Khar post is obscure/underground bands that vaguely fall under the metal genre. You could argue that metal is a broad genre with a lot of variety, and I might agree. But that's beside the point.
When a metal fan describes an indie singer's voice as "weak and powerless" it's hard for me to take them seriously since they're rating singers on a totally different basis than I would.
schimmy:
See, there you're making an assumption. Khar's fondness for the metal genre doesn't render him incapable of judging other genres. For example, I listen mainly to what many would describe as indie-pop. That does not mean when I listen to a metal band I think that they're bad because their instruments are too loud, or the singer shouts too much for my liking, I accept that those are key traits of the genre, and move on and judge whether they are good at what they are trying to do. You're making the assumption that Khar can't do this, and unless he actually says he's judging Sufjan by metal standards, then I'm going to assume he has the intelligence to distinguish what he likes, and what is good.

Johnny C:
Khar actually likes quite a lot of folk music. However, I like a lot of hip-hop but that doesn't mean my taste is faultless.
