*YES*!

IMO, MB should never have "tags".  Let last.fm deal with that -- their
whole site is a community based around people and music.  Let them
work out all the interesting data around how people interact and feel
about music.  Let them have a tag like "seen live" which is useless on
aggregate, but which has real meaning for an individual user.

MB should stick to being the factual repository at the base of the
tree.  There are opportunities for cloudy-style data (My pet examples
are a way to aggregate all CDs given free with Q Magazine, or all the
releases in the "Now That's What I Call Music" series) but it has to
be objective and voted-for.
