Haha just making sure... eh really good (technically speaking) singers always seem to make really shitty music (with a few exceptions of course) and people with no real artistic taste lap it up as if music is the same as sport, admiring 'talent' rather than any damn creative ability to make interesting music. Then you have the other end that holds bands like Rush who can play like no body's business, try to experiment, but are just not fun to listen to (i.e. poor songwriting) I mean Sonic Youth write songs that are both complex and dynamic but memorable and catchy (to an extent..) so does Frank Zappa and Dinosaur Jr.
I'd take J. Mascis over some classicly trained hack like Yngwie Malmsteen any day.
