Dear jeffrey-hodgson,

Normally when I see a chart like this, chocked full of canonized classic rock bands and little interest in music from other genres or countries, I usually just hold my tongue and leave an average-to-good rating, because you know what? We're all entitled to our own opinion and hey, maybe that's just what you're into. However, for this chart I'm going to make an exception.

Reading the comments on this chart from people like @AvalancheGrips, @raadfactoryxny and @splashfoop I was interested to see what kind of comments you'd left on other people's charts, and I was surprised by just how arrogant, close-minded and dismissive you come across for someone who's own taste is so limited. I don't know what authority you seem to think you have that you feel you can leave comments like "really not very good", "not a fan" and "never heard of most of this" with no other explanation of their low rating, on a site that should be a collaborative and communal expression of our love of music. It is baffling how a grown man (I admit I am making an assumption about your age, and if you are a child then I apologise for being so harsh on someone who is still yet to grow up) can write "Radiohead stinks" on a list that someone has taken the time and effort to share with an internet community.

I should add that none of the above mentioned charts are my own, and I'm not making this comment on my own behalf (though if you feel the need to leave a low rating on my own chart to make yourself feel big, be my guest) but rather because I feel like dismissive behaviour like this is what kills BEA as a site for sharing music tastes.

Please in future consider that no-one is here to claim top-dog status in terms of taste but instead we are all just music lovers and this site is a way for many of us to expand our tastes because we love it so much.

Sincerely,
sidneyfranklyn

pretty boring 1 dimensional list. You really should try different roots of music. Your opinion is way too similar with Rolling Stone Mag. This is the obvious taste, and a good start. Try different stuff, harder, weirder stuff.

Unique picks on charts are what make this website so great. To criticize other people's charts for being "different" goes against the nature of the music community, especially when your chart is very basic and old headed.

Extremely one dimensional. your music knowledge is clearly lacking at this point. some great albums featured for sure, but unfortunately this is a typical list for boring old men. I would encourage looking past the radio for music. I'll hold off on a rating until this list is matured.

Me parece despreciable la manera en que descalificas a otros teniendo tú un gusto tan básico, como si este fuese de alguna manera objetivo. No eres la primera persona que me encuentro en esta página que tiene ese tipo de mentalidad (¿Dunning-Kruger, quizás?), pero espero que en algún momento te des cuenta no solo de que existen muchísimas otras formas de crear y entender la música, sino que estas son igual de válidas que la tuya.
