The song's pants but the bassline's a cracker

When I read a statement like "wake me up before you go go is crap but the bassline is great" in a discussion forum I assume a) that they intended it as statement of their opinion and b) that they assumed that no-one would read it a statement of fact, because it's a discussion forum. And that's OK with me.

If they made the same statement in Wham's Wikipedia page then it would not be OK with me.

And lastly, I assume that if someone uses the word 'pants' in a thread title then it's meant to be fun.

Yep, exactly. I've always assumed everything said here is subjective and would be treated as such.  It's a bit tiresome having to insert 'IMO's after every comment.

'Songs in which I enjoy the bassline but not the actual song'.  That might cover it.

Does one* have to enjoy a bassline to appreciate it as a great piece of bass playing?

* i would have said you, but the "write what you mean police" appear to be out in force tonight
