the only problem with this statement is that you are doing exactly what it is you don't want others to do. YOU are now telling others how to listen to music, and if they aren't doing it your way, they're wrong somehow.
if someone seeks imagery to go with the music he listens to, then that is his choice, his way of listening to music. Who are you to say that it is the "wrong" way to listen to music?

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
