I'm not sure, but in my opinion, the difference between music styles that i listen to and don't, is that the bands i listen to, "did it for the music", whereas the music i dislike seems to be the groups that make music "for the money"...
Does that make any sense?

Virtuosi see the advantages of using canned tracks as a background for their work, for convenience if nothing else. I cite Kitaro and the more recent Joe Satriani work as examples. There is an obvious distinction between good performances in this milieu, and repetitive mind-numbing noise. My opinion of Techno is as follows:
Computers are not composers. Period.
