Bad music!

All fair points
I did cover my arse.

However, I think you get my point non the less

Bad music! My dear chap “bad” music isn’t a concept I subscribe to
I’ve had more arguments on this topic than I care to think about.
An example of my current playlist:
AudioSlave
Ace of Base
Air
Portishead
Ray Charles
The Cardigans
Little Feat
Miles Davis
Metallica
Dave Van Ronk
Sugarbabes
Traffic
What I was trying to point out was when confronted with the HiFi/Music snob who insists that he can only bear to listen to Classical music on his multi thousand pound system it might be worth pointing out at some point that he probably listens to the same over produced, over-sampled redbook quality recordings as everyone else.
Of course, the Vinyl junkies will probably tell you that Vinyl replay allows them to hear all those little nuances and harmonics only the very best equipment and a classically trained ear can detect.
Sounds vaguely plausible until you discover the precious recording they are driveling on about was knocked up in a modern recording studio within the last decade.
No worries though, we are all entitled to a bit of self deception
