I added an extra apostrophe...

We mixed salad, these are not my prejudices, they are judgments on MTV music that sucks and contempt for those who consider it good music. Of course, you can listen to it, you can say you like it, nobody forbids you, but allow me to say that for me it is not music and appreciating it shows a very low taste and a very poor musical culture. I’m not coming to change your channel or shoot you, I’m just on a site saying what I think.

I don't care whether the album in question is official or not, the tribute was there. Was it them playing Little Wing? Yes!

You think it's wrong, I wrote that I don't like it "always", not "very much", maybe you're referring to the review on the residents?

Well, you're mistaken, they performed it live in Utrecht in '92, and it's in Ahmed's Wild Dream, you should go check it out... and anyway, I just wanted to say that the fact that an artist is covered shouldn't be taken as a reason to praise the artist, at best it should be for the one who covers it (if the cover turns out well).

Ah, is Mayall also going into oblivion? And tell me, does the namesake of the Bluesbreakers go as well, or do you save him because Clapton was there too?

No light, it isn’t; there are very few things I judge a priori, and noise in rock is not among them.

Randolph in the sense that they performed Little Wing in a live setting, I believe.

The valid motivations are those you’ve never been able to articulate until now, neither here nor in your review of Led Zeppelin. There, you limited yourself to saying they were show-offs, that they didn’t have the suffering of the bluesmen from the ’40s, and that the lyrics were "liars" because they wanted to make people believe they were satanists when they really weren’t. Despite those being inconsistent reasons, I responded; here, however, you keep repeating the show-off thing about Ten Years After, saying Canned Heat are considered geniuses by fools, saying Cream had personality (and that’s it?), saying Clapton was among the first white guys of the blues revival (and that’s it?), saying Joplin was talented (and that’s it?). You give reasons for CCR that could easily apply to the other named groups, and moreover, you mention they were covered by Gun Club (what a great reason for praise, huh?)... In short, personality or skill or country melodies or folk rock seem to be attributes only of these few groups... and then if you go back and read my comment on Loveless, you’ll see that I indeed provided motivations, but then I said it’s still a masterpiece because most people seem to think so, but for me, it’s not, and I explained why. You might disagree with the reasons I gave, but they are still reasons, which you have yet to provide me. And then I would like to understand by what absurd criterion you can praise the Yardbirds and not Led Zeppelin (and don’t repeat nonsense like they were among the first or had personality, because Led Zeppelin were also pioneers in what they did and they too had personality, not to mention that Page was in the Yardbirds. Or perhaps that Page was suffering and then a few years later became a show-off? No, you know how it is; I’m asking you, considering you told me you know when and how he was hooking up or getting high).

I know why, unfortunately, my roommates watch MTV and AllMusic morning and night, and whether I like it or not, that awful music eventually reaches my ears.. I can't define myself as alternative, also because I listen to mainstream too.
