Haha, ok then we're cool. But I'm still not confusing the issue on this one - the OP in question did say he was looking for "great" musicianship, and his exact words were none of them were *great* at what they do , he never once said they were poor musicians - that's on you! And to a certain degree, he has enough of a point. People react to Radiohead in such an extreme way, and I'm just trying to be objective to what I see - so I was reacting to that too. And for the record I like Radiohead a lot, I got respect for them for sure.

I see. Yea, definitely did not mean it like that, and chops is definitely not at all what determines whether I like something or not. I mean, I love hip hop so what does that say?!
