A post by redpeter99.bsky.social sparked discussion by arguing that Ed Sheeran and contemporary artists are inferior to Joni Mitchell, Carole King, James Taylor, Elton John, Cat Stevens, Nick Drake, and Simon & Garfunkel, citing an unnamed 'Ed Sheeran story' as context.

“Sheeran isn't on the same planet as Joni, Carole King, James Taylor, Elton, Cat Stevens, Nick Drake, S&G and countless others.”
