why genrelize in the first place?

That's it Stew, bite into some METAL! It's very crunchy.

yep, i agree. you should never have these prejudices about certain genres, there is quality and crap in ANY genre. i always thought musicals and opera were horrible, but now i love them. the same goes for the band metallica- i refused to listen to them simply because they look so horrible and do this crazy pantomime, but then i found what talented songwriters/singers/musicians they are. AND may i add: what i notice on this site sometimes is that people have prejudices against commercial music. I think the same rule applies to that: If something is in the charts and sells tons of records I don't think this necessarily means it is useless trash, there is also quality stuff that sells...amongst the awful trash.

You can tie me down with hissing snakes from the jungle, I ain't listening to Keane. Ever!

He was rather good in that film the other night about the Great Train Robbery. He played a short, cocky, balding twerp with no stage presence, personality or talent. Remarkable acting.
