I could go through all the top hits of any year, and not like many of them, love some of them, roll my eyes and turn off instantly others, etc, but is that being good, or is it being good or bad for my tastes.

A step further, when you listen to a song here, are you judging on whether you like it, or whether you think its good?

For example, I can hear a song, read the lyrics and think everything is well done, good craft, but walk away thinking what a bore that song is...i can also hear something that sounds rough, has some technical blemishes but for some reason I like it

Makes you wonder how songs are ever picked. Do publishers listen to what they like, or do they have a check list of things it must have...isnt the whole purpose to like the song?

I have to admit I dont like many songs I hear here, and thats by no means an insult, I dont even like some of my own songs...lol. But being that I could loathe a top hit, must mean that its all subjective.

I think when people are listening here, they listen to see if it sounds good, not neccessarily if they like it. Cause again, I dont like some smash hits.

So what exactly are we judging?
