if only it was so simple... i have many friends who's opinions of music i respect but whom on the fringes of musical taste things differ. its one of the great things about music fans... a very close friend who's as equally a huge elbow fan as myself has been banging on to me about the horrors about how good they are, but i just don't 'get them'... it just comes down to musical taste at the end of the day and if 'everyone' got elbow then they'd be knocking on U2's door i suppose... the ones i'm more worried about, are the ones who don't get music in general...  | |

| It's art and therefore completely subjective. Some people don't 'get' Rothko or Bjork or a Metallica/Lou Reed collaboration (I'm with them on that last one BTW).
Don't think you can proselytize about this band or that (not that I think you were seamiedev). I'm just grateful that they're here, making great music and touring.

Lots of Pink Floyd-Fans adore "The Great Gig in the Sky" but I dislike it, though it was written by my fave Floydie... | |
