the whole point of having dj's review cd's is so they can't complain that there's nothing they want to play. if we didn't want you to review what you liked, (a) we wouldn't allow you to preview them to begin with and (b) we'd just randomly assign 5 cd's to every dj and possibly invoke anarchy. do you think the person who put "hollaback girl" at number 35 was like, "it's a good thing i don't like this song or else my praise for it might be biased"? on the contrary, he probably had to violently fight a lot of people to get it on the list at all.
sure, there are people who recommend things for the playlist that others feel don't deserve to be there. just like there are people who claim josie and the pussycats is their favorite movie when - being a film major and all - they really should know better. the reason we have dj's is to cater to different tastes. otherwise, we'd just make everything automated, clearchannel style.
