Someone who has listened to over 1000 albums and has a working knowledge of musical history, like some of my closest friends do, or someone who downloads only songs from the Billboard Top 100 on Itunes? And why should everyone's opinion be equal? Some people don't care about music and don't claim to care about music. On the flip side of that, some people think there opinion is worth way more than it should be, but don't you trust some people more than others if you ask them to recommend you a movie or a band to listen to? Isn't that normal?

Yes I do, but it isn't in anyway related to their 'knowledge' of the material. It is related to them having similar tastes to me. Why would I care what a knowledgable Pink Floyd fan has to say about Pink Floyd, when I find them pretentious? I do not think that their opinion of Pink Floyd is wrong, I just disagree. Just because someone has watched a shit ton of movies does not make them a movie expert. It just means that they have watched a shit ton of movies.
