Listen to your brain.
Allow a possibility that even a well known pro can sometimes talk bullshit about something he has little experience with.

Also allow the possibility that fame does not equal talent, insight, intelligence etc. Not saying Fatboy Slim has none of those things, but in general the argument that material success somehow is a qualifier forgets the 'lowest common denominator' effect of bad TV, junk food, crap music, bad art, inane movies, etc. There's a reason people look for underground and alternative music, most of what is popular and successful is force-fed corporate crap.

Your logical fallacy is: appeal to authority

Nah, i also would rather accept norman cook statement compared to others here. That guy life is dedicated for music, and too dismiss it too easily is like justin bieber hater making fun of him.

Maybe I'm wrong, but what was the last great record from him? Produced in a time when we all used atari's? Time flies....
A very sad way to try to discredit his opinion.

Your contribution is even more sad.

The problem here comes from people that are able to accept just one opinion, not all opinions.

Yep,me too, but that's mostly because the Juno 2 is natty little piece of junk with pretty much just one good trick up its sleeve. There's a reason that they're still relatively cheap.

well if you're going to go to the same sodding preset everytime...

I've said you should wait till page 30, please...

Maybe we can fill another 10 pages with software vs. hardware comparisons...

Maybe we should ask Madonna what the best synth is !
She is so famous and she made so many millions in this business, so she must be the best expert on everything music related in the world !

Madonna always had the best producers, but that doesn't mean that she knows anything of synths. She writes most of the lyrics, sings and performs, but the songwriting comes from other guys and gals...
