I'll leave you and Alex to 'slug it out'. :lol:
I'm always amazed by the variation in taste of music lovers.
For example, I utterly detest anything by Genesis, but I'm in a tiny, tiny minority.
It takes all sorts: suum cuique, de gustibus non disputandem. I wouldn't have it any other way. :)
Allow me to join you in that exclusive club ��Quote:

There are no bands, at all, that I dislike so intensely that I would need to do that, not even Nick Drake.
Not a fan of The Smiths either, though I do have "Hatful of Hollow", only because I really like "How Soon is Now". Oh shit, I have "The Queen is Dead" too, where did that come from?Quote:

What's wrong with Nick Drake? IMO, his singing voice is quite anodyne and inoffensive.Quote:
