'Oh, from a guy who likes Coldplay!' or 'You have the tastes of 14 year old girl' or whatever.

My main angle with music is songwriting; mainly composing, although the best songs I think are arranged and their lyrics put together at the same time, to build one another, I think.

But I have to try for myself to see my limits and what I can do, you see?

I'm too lazy to multi-quote properly. So, first off... relax... I can see where your top5 could be seen as controversial but it's when you present them as controversial that it steps into tween-drama land. From the sound of things you prefer well produced, straight ahead album oriented rock, it's not everyone's cup of tea but whatever.
Totally in line with your logic on the 2nd bit here too, especially composing and arranging in tandem to produce the optimal result.
And we most definitely all need to experience our own limits in our own ways too. Best of luck though, it's a vicious industry from more than a few accounts.
