Saw her live. Great fun, enjoyed it. So I'm among her fans (but of course don't mind if anyone else isn't). 🙂 AudioDoctor 1 One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.

I had to turn the subwoofer completely off to listen to it at any kind of volume. This is from the Qobuz version I downloaded this afternoon. I love the bass - I think the playing is very tasteful.

This has nothing to do with being objective about the art. Well of course there *is* nothing objective about art. (Yes, the last chord of the Beatles’ “She Loves You” hadn’t been heard in popular music before, and there are other examples of their innovations. But lots of artists tried innovations over the years that weren’t accepted.) Art is simply what inspires. It can be joy, like rock ‘n’ roll; it can be anger and tears, like Picasso’s “Guernica.” So the only measure of art is people’s subjective reactions. Looking for some objective, unemotional measure is not only fruitless, it’s wrongheaded because objective unemotional measures can’t tell us whether what we’re seeing, hearing or reading is art, let alone good art.

First, if The Beatles had stopped at "She Loves You", I would not have used them as models of innovation. I'm pretty sure that's obvious. Second, I did not propose that we could measure art or emotional reactions. But as others have noted above, I believe we can rank art, at least in broad strokes, from better to worse. I also notice that you use the phrase "good art". If some art is "good", I hope you'll agree that some other art is better, and some is best. I wrote after looking at something @The Computer Audiophile said, so it wasn’t intended as a response to any of your postings. It’s just what I think. I did use the phrase “good art,” but that was in a sentence saying we can’t objectively determine what either art or good art is. That’s just what I think, and if others think differently, well that’s the stuff of which conversations are made. 🙂 PeterG 1 One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.
