So let me get this straight. Are you saying that Arthur Rubinstein was not better than John Tesh?
Come on, not even you could refuse to make this distinction.
you can talk about the technical aspects being better or worse, but when it comes to which is better, that is purely subjective. it is relative and for someone to say one piece of music is better than another carries no weight with me 🙂

After today, I've got the best taste in music on RHP. Just got 'Cold Fact', by Rodriguez (1970), in the mail today. It's a revelation. In more ways than one. So move over everyone, I'm taking over as the most interesting man on RHP.
'Cold Fact' is a great album. All the tracks of it are gold.
I heard that Rodriguez recorded two albums then went back to do some social work to help people less fortunate than him.
Either way, the music and his lyrics say it all.
Possibly the most underrated/ unknown musician around.

It was referred to as 'the border' and extended into Angola. Battle of Cuito Canavale and other stories. See Etienne Van Heerden's story 'My Kubaan'/'My Cuban'.
Unfortunately I didn't get to see him. One of many regrets.
I did get to see James Phillips before he died. Not so very far from Rodriguez in attitude.

I've got his second CD now as well. So far I agree with you - not quite as good as the first. But, then, I'm only half way through it.

Other than yourself , of course.
I'm going to go with Bosse de Nage. Nearly every reference I've read from him about music has been spot on - as far as my tastes are concerned.
