I just wanted to interrupt and jump in to say...

I love this thread! It's terrific!

Its like those discussions guitar players have where you have to have exactly the right guitar with exactly the right pickups with exactly the right strings plugged into exactly the right effects pedals going into exactly the right amp with exactly the right TMB settings... otherwise your tone is complete crap and you don't know anything about anything and all you can play is "Louie Louie" and that stinks too.

I always thought the best musician is the one that plays the best music and the best composers are the ones that compose the best music. How they do it really doesn't matter to me.

But then I play the wrong guitar plugged into the wrong amp so what do I know.

Sorry for the meaningless interruption.

Please continue....
