While you have confirmed that you didn't say what I was worried you were saying (long story), can anyone truly have better taste than someone else (in any given topic, but we can focus on music for now)? When you get down to it, it is all about opinion and no one's opinion isn't any more or less valid than another person's. Yes, I believe that the T-Heads, et. al. are better than BBD, but that is simply based on what I enjoy. One could argue that the T-Heads have more complex rhythms, interesting lyrics, and blend styles/influences into a more original sound than BBD, but who is to say that these factors make music
better? Yes, you and I do (and many others), but there are some people who have heard the T-Heads and decided that they prefer the sound of BBD - that to them, BBD is better. Sure my opinion differs from theirs and I could make all sorts of logical arguments as to why my opinion was "more right", but ultimately, the enjoyment of art is up to the individual.

For the most part, I don't have any issue with sampling. A situation that you describe above doesn't irritate me, it just me the amusing opportunity to point out what an idiot the person is. I get amusement from belittling others who deserve it.
