PS: Sounds like the web could use an “American Idol” type thing
with pro-judges just for Song, Recordings

this thread was started by a musician who didn’t take too kindly to his music being “critiqued” ( in a clear and very fair way) and clearly wanted the “song” praised with no reference to production or arrangement ( not gonna happen )
If it’s a good song ie good tune/lrics/idea etc…which for me comes first because without that lot there is nothing to produce, then the fellow muso’s will say so…or not !!!..but they can always give good advice on arrangement or production, which I personally always take on board, makes me think harder about the next song I’m doing,
So I reckon if someone wants to post a finished, half finished, work in progress, demo without whatever, then they should post it here but not start getting all precious about their “creation” when it is critiqued by fellow well meaning musicians who are taking time out to help…remember…Beethoven and Shakespeare did it much better than us hundreds of years ago…Kevin
