Agreed. But here's the thing. I feel that was more his personal opinion. Although he may not of liked their style, they did have good timing, pitch and...more subjective, tone.

It would be hard to convince me that someone who is tone def, and has really terrible timing is all that desirable to the masses...and that's who I have to market to.

I would post examples, but I really don't think that would be fair, nice, or professional.
