I'd love to see links to negative JB reviews which dare to be harsh 
rather than apologetic. If you've got 'em, post 'em. I don't recall 
seeing any such tone on the list. Since he's only interested in 
writing about one niche of music, it seems unlikely to me that bands 
in that niche wouldn't win a certain degree of favor from the start. 
A cursory websearch for his work reveals nothing but beaming praise.

I'm tired of this, too. But it'll go back to being about DB's agenda, 
soon enough. This thread could have ended immediately after my 
initial "Another poll" post, y'know. Considering that the Audities 
poll results drew ZILCH response beyond a few 
thanks-for-compiling-it-Michael's, I didn't think that it was such a 
sacred cow. Or that people would be so keen to dispute another poll, 
which had the same general orientation and no shortage of common 
contributors.

I'd like to think that everyone found this debate much more 
interesting than Topfivemania, but that's probably nowhere near true.

Your both wrong.
