A lot of crappy keyboards have served many artists very well. It's because
even though they were crappy keyboards, they were the only ones they had to
use and they had to make them work for them. I'd be quite willing to bet
that most of the artists who used them bitched about how crappy they were
while they were using them, and wished that there was something less crappy
available. Just because some great music managed to be created using them
doesn't make them any less crappy.
