Good taste is the enemy of creativity....... do people agree with this? What examples can you think of where good taste has played a part in fueling creativity (Blue Lines? Kid A? The BLueprint? )

I think that the core members of Sonic Youth have impeccable cultural taste (art/lit/music) yet their output of the last half of their career does not stand up to the first half IMHO... maybe a direct result of their taste overwhelming their art.

Brendon Benson is excellent

First two Underworld albums

Bad Drawn Boy's debut

Leftfields first album

All in the best possible taste and good art too

I thought dissatisfaction with major label life fuelled Kid A
