I love most of the artists that you've mentioned. I'm not familiar with Belle & Sebastian, David Broza or Paul Melancon. I'm aware of Soul Couging, but don't own any of their music. I have virtually everything that each of the other artists you mention have ever put out. While I love them, they're music is no more valid than Fergie's.
I loved the "Death Row" era Peas. I could see where they were trying to go.
Basically, I think you just don't understand what's valid about their music. What they're audience "gets" from it. Wouldn't it be better to just say, "I don't 'get" what people find in that music," instead of just dismissing something that you neither have the desire or inclination to listen to, much less qualify as reviewer for? Would the "good lord" approve of you talking about people this way?
