You don't have anything to apologize for.

I won't say you have horrible taste in music but we are at opposite ends of the spectrum.

I would like to see the e-bow and the cello be used more. The cello is my second favourite instrument and can create some really beautiful sounds. The e-bow is very trippy and usually can make something alot more interesting than it would be if it was played on, say, the guitar.

I don't see how drum machines are soulless. If used in the right context, they can be everything people pour themselves into. Just because the method of doing so may not involve sticks and acoustic drums, the programing of such sounds into a song can mean just as much to both the artist and the listener.

Drum machines may be soulless to YOU, but if you're truly the sole arbiter of what can and can't have soul and emotion in it, then I guess I've overstepped my boundaries sir.

Anyone think a harmonica might add something to pop music if used right?

About as much as more auto-tune would make pop more appealing.
