Pinnacle of musical douchery

Fucking guys that will only post the figureheads of genres as their favorite music. Yes, stating that you like songwriting pioneers such as Bob Dylan, David Bowie, The Beatles, Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake, experimental songwriting pioneers My Bloody Valentine, The Velvet Underground, Talking Heads, and experimental pioneers Philip Glass, and Steve Reich is technically infallible. But I feel like this is like saying that smaller artists don't have as much merit as a larger artist with influence over an actual audience aren't worth listening to. Sure, most of my favorite bands are pretty damn big. And other bands that I listen to that aren't that big might not be as good. But to only admit to listening to the figureheads of each style and to deny the merit of smaller artists is fucking douchery.
