Well yes, but you could say that if someone likes a band, then they don't need to change anything so don't need to know why they're liked. Or at least it's more important to find out why someone doesn't like your band, then you can think about changing that. And I probably shouldn't have said the word 'rules' either, any comment is useful. I just think this thread could be really useful for informing bands what they're doing right and what they're doing wrong. Might just be something they haven't realised themselves, and can do something about. Then we can all be brilliant, and get rich and famous and that.
