I find that often musicians get far more preoccupied with technique and chops than the overall effect of the music just as sound. That focus on the mechanics of it can lead you to be a fan of absolutely terrible music and also not catch the spark of more artistic minded stuff.

This.

I love Pearl Jam. I listen to their Sirius channel often. It's amusing when they run a "band member pick". They always pick the weirdest shite. The bassist is the worst. "I like their music as its more angular." Another guy (Stone) has his clip run often. He picks a Zepplin song and takes In The Evening?

It's like because they are professional musicians so they can't just pick great stuff. Stone can't just play Ramble On because it's not weird enough. Feels contrived.
