I don't like it either, but...

I know plenty of records shop owners who must sell stuff that they don't like in order for their business to survive - if a record is going to sell, then a record shop should have it. I mean, say you're a Techno shop in South London - you're not gonna survive unless you stock Garage - you may not like to, but it's a business decision and record shop owners need to remain sensibly open minded to all styles.

But it has got me thinking, what would people think of naming and shaming artists who are producing absolute crap ,in order to let the wider community know that its simply not good enough and that its having a negative effect on the music as whole.

maybe its abit negative but why shouldn't we say what we want.
Don't you think that that's a bit elitist? It's a question of peoples tastes - everyone knows that peoplle like music that other people don't - but to suggest trying to "bring down" these artists you don't like is over the top - imagine if some music snobbists hated the Techno you love - and they managed to get the music boycotted and not made any more - we'd all be furious, mainly because we have a freedom of choice, to like what we want, and for someone else to say "you shouldn't make that" is simply ridiculous. The same works both ways, and as everyone knows, most people listen to crap music, you should just think yourself lucky you have better taste and go and listen to a record that you really like instead of worrying about music you don't.
