Some people are really misunderstanding what Genius is. There is the Genius playlist maker, which only makes a playlist of your own music; no recommendations from the iTunes Store.
There is also the Genius Sidebar, which makes recommendations based on what other users have. If you don't want this, close the sidebar and it is gone; no annoying recommendations.
They are seperate from eachother, so don't say that Genius is just another "Buy me! Buy me!" add-on, please.

DO you also own a mood ring?

Do you have your Biorhythms checked regularly?
Some of us don't like to predict what our mood is and have to make 30 playlists ahead of time. I guess we all aren't as talented as you...
Also, why not make it easier on myself and let Genius do it? It seems to be pretty accurate for me.
