Yes. If someone says they like Pirates of Penzance over Evita, their "why" should make someone curious about PoP and check it out (which everyone should, btw). But without a semi-sound reasoning to justify your choice - you're being a sheep more than anything else. If you choose DEH - why? (No, stop going blue). Did you listen to the score at the very least? I love this thread, but as you pointed out - it should be an exposure thread, not a "imma do this because everyone says so".
