Amen, brother. Who cares how a sound was achieved, as long as the
result blows your mind?
The world of electronica, for instance, is as dense and full of
garbage as the world of porn, but when there's soul behind it, it
vibrates right through the cables and wires and into your
consciousness. (I'm thinking of U.N.K.L.E. and Massive Attack as I
write this)

but it does raise aesthetic/ethical issues about
music as a result of ones ability versus music as a result of ones vision.
I disagree. It's the same as all new technology. It's cool if you either a)
are the first person to do it or b) are cleverer about it than the last
person who tried it AND it's musically relevant. Technology and ability are
all means toward the ends of realising your visions. Using Linux deals with
most of the ethical issues.
So, it's not so much that you can't produce Boy Bands using Linux, just that
Linux is a bit more picky about its Boy Bands. ;]
