No, you don't.  And it doesn't bother me at all.  What bothered my was
this:

Just because you don't appreciate all the good progressive music that
has come out this year, including albums by

> [Me:] Suzanne Vega, Robyn Hitchcock, Birdsongs of The Mesozoic, Space
> Negroes, Mission of Burma, Jane Siberry, Peter Gabriel, Tuxedomoon,
> The Roches, Inner City Unit, etc....

and

> [Dave:] ... a certain much-loved English songstress....

doesn't mean that that music isn't good.  And you shouldn't imply that
it isn't.  There's lot of music I'm not wild about, but which I think is
good -- it's my problem that I don't appreciate it.  And it's your
problem that you don't appreciate all the good new music that is out
there.  And it's everyone's problem when you say publicly that that
music isn't good.
