"I hate it when people try to pretend that art can be judged objectively. It just doesn't work"
I reckon it can. Most counterarguments tend to be subjective anyway (ie. 'how can you say that? I LOVE this song!').
You can easily make objective statements about a piece of 'art'. "The drums go out of time here", or "the singer was slightly flat there". The subjective part is - do you have an individual preference concerning those quirks in the recording? I love it when Bonzo lags behind the beat in Black Dog. It's fucking KICKING. Not many bands would put out a recording with that kind of swagger these days. It's so far off the tempo that there's probably a lot of people who simply think it's a crap recording that should've been redone, but these people are also known as cunts.
To clarify the difference -
Bonham plays noticeably out of tempo in one or two spots of the song = objective.
It rocks = subjective.

the thing that kinda “swing”. You have to forgive me, though. It was important for my further enlightenment in The Queen universe. For example, I see Roger in whole new light now :-D

I'm not asking what your favourite song is, i'm asking what is the best song by Queen in your opinion?
Explain why?[/QUOTE]
Sure that God Save the Queen is the best song. At first, it’s the best song by default; why should people stand up hearing it otherwise? At second… the arraignment is just up to the occasion!
