Precisely, it's a taste thing. Music on the radio for the most part certainly isn't of high quality in musicianship or composition very often, it's just what is the most accessible and profitable to air for the radio to develop interest in advertising. I don't think Brink is the "best MP" around in a matter-of-fact sense, it just ticks all the boxes for me personally.
I echo your sentiments in that I don't think it's the best MP around either, but it is very good and doesn't deserve all this hate.
