It's not that at all. But just because you love a band doesnt make them the best. I'm a huge fan of a lot of bands that aren't mentioned but I acknowledge why.

I guess maybe we have different definitions of "best"


When talking about music, I use favorite and best interchangeably. Why would something be my favorite if it isn’t the best to me? If I didn’t think Titus Andronicus was the best current rock band then they wouldn’t be my favorite. It isn't like I am championing them because we went to the same high school or something. It is strictly based on how much I enjoy their music. Now I am not arrogant enough to think my opinion objectively proves that one band is better than another. But there is no real way to objectively prove one band is better than another, so there is truly no such thing as “best” current rock band. So you just as well list your favorite, no?

See, but this really isn't debatable. Titus Andronicus actually are the best rock band right now.

I agree. When it comes to music, how can something be considering the best to you if it isn't your favorite? I just don't get it.
