You guys are really touchy about your rock-and-roll aren't you?

In a way that one sentence says way to much about your prejudices and width
of view.

It shows that you perceive rock-and-roll as not being part of your life even
though its actually so pervasive that it is such a big part of your life
that you apparently can't restrain yourself from knocking it and trying to
separate yourself from it seemingly every change you get.

You seem
to see my attack on the use of rock music as an evaluation tool as an
attack on the music itself in spite of the fact that I've said over and
over that my personal disdain for the genre has nothing to do with my
assessment of it as a tool for reviewers.

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt and absence of evidence is not the same
as evidence of absence.

And remember, I also include
"pop" in that criticism which includes country-and-western, as well as
most jazz.

More evidence of an incredibly narrow and short-sighted viewpoint.

I like jazz and I listen to it, but I wouldn't use it solely
as a review tool.

Since so many people listen to rock, jazz, country western, and pop its hard
to explain how one can review audio gear without sampling them.

One could argue that these genres are actually so similar in terms of
technical requirements for good reproduction that using any of them is
analogous with using all of them, but that doesn't seem to be the thrust of
the comments I'm responding to.
