I don't know that I agree with that sentiment, Brad. It seems to me perfectly reasonable to say that I appreciate their contributions out of a show of respect...respect for the influence they held over legions of fans and artists alike, respect for obvious talent, and an observance of their artistic growth.

I can appreciate all those things and still not particularly care for the music that resulted from them picking up instruments and playing.
