As long as one makes the distinction in their head between "taste" and "quality". And though you can have any "taste" you like, one can also have a "taste in quality". Also, define a "true individual" |

A true individual is someone who thinks for themselves and enjoys what best suits their individual tastes. No two people are the same. Anyone who bases their personal tastes on what society and the media 'dictates' to them I would refuse to take seriously. 'Taste', 'quality'... semantics. Either way, it all comes down to one's personality and their personal perceptions. |

Besides, I'm referring to those whose tastes are largely determined by society and the media. My comments were never about the spectrum itself - only one end of it. |

Certain albums are highly acclaimed for a reason, sometimes after the artist's heyday like the Velvet Underground for example. Doesn't mean you're required to like all the highly acclaimed albums, I certainly don't.
But it doesn't make you cool to hate an album just because it is critically acclaimed either. Like anything, you either like the album or you don't, end of story. |

With Radiohead, success was gradual. However, when everyone and their dog started name-dropping the band, when asked about the music that they enjoy, it became woefully clichéd. Did I stop listening to The Bends? Nope, but I wasn't going to sound like a bandwagon jumper either. |
