You are tweaking nothing, but you are giving me a break from writing tnext week's Iceage.
And as far as you saying there's 'nothing you can do about saying WHY you like something?
Sure there is...just qualify your statements. If you don't want to bother, I'll just remember the old axiom that it's easier for most people to say what they DON'T like, than what they do and why.
BTW...I have created no persona.
I just know what I like and why I like it.
...and if you think I think New Order' are "Dad-Rock"...then you are a pup.
DadRock is Beatles, Stones and Kinks...everybody knows that.

Ah, Bob, I'm just messing with you at this point. You've created this
online persona as the Grumpy Mr. Wilson of rock, forever yelling "You
kids get offa my lawn!!" and I find it entertaining to tweak it.
As for your statement that I'm somehow unable to say WHY I like
something...if that's truly what you believe, there's not a lot I can
do about that. And I really don't care enough to try.
