Well said. basically took the words right out of my typing apparatus
My other favorite is when somebody sites one of the absolute best in the world (Jay-Z) as the example for the way the rest of us should do it.
And as far as that "passion" comment someone made, and how the engineer is just doing his job and isnt "passionate about the music". dude, as an engineer i've saved more projects than i can count on a musical level, and as a producer, i perform as a musician and often vocalist on almost everything i produce. Also, as a producer, its your job to get the absolute best out of a vocalist. That takes quite a passion for music to know how to do that.
food for thought, and i'm glad some people are actually thinking about it.
