"3.WHat is the point of stressing over music ,'tis either of atype you wanna listen to or it aint."

You are speaking purely as a consumer, not as a creator, or as someone who makes a living from music. We have a different perspective - as you would if this was about your work and pay packet.

The discussion above is about 1) whether the awards are fair to artists, and 2) whether they will help or hinder the survival of the music we care about (I presume you care, Tim, since you are here).

If it doesn't matter to you, fine. Don't contribute.
