Jon, isn't your turn-off factor above applicable to any genre? Seems to me
that there are a lot more 'musicians who suck' than 'musicians who rule' in
every realm, including rock, country, blues, oldtime, jazz, cajun, new age,
native american drumming, and Tuvan throat singing. Or are you making a
different kind of claim?
Just searching for some clarification here.
~Greg, definitely in the musicians who suck category
