We usually don't hear about disagreements with labels or managers until an artist severs the troubled ties and starts talking candidly about future plans.

There are some writers whose recommendations I take seriously - if they like something, I know I probably will too - and others whose tastes are so opposite mine that their recommendations actually dissuade me. Of course, the vast majority fall somewhere in between the two extremes, but that makes for boring conversation. Who are the writers on the ends of your spectrum?
