Spleen Cringe- I am sure Peace will speak for himself, but your comment has moved me to respond.

I do not think the two statments you quoted are the same. If you are being honest, I would bet that 95% of traditional music probably leaves you cold as well. Traditional music is such a broad term. There is traditional Turkish music, traditional Chinese music, traditional Insert-Name-of-Country/Religion/Group-Here music. Can you honestly say that you enjoy ALL traditional music?

There is a huge difference between not liking a particular singer and not liking a "type of music". You might not like the Boss, but I hope you are not dismissing all singer-songwriters in the same sweeping statement.
