Every once in awhile, you completely redeem yourself.
Well done.

For the most part I'd agree, but I do plan on starting a "No Line on the Horizon - What do B&Cers think?" thread so I don't have to sift through the EYKIW wasteland for fair and balanced reactions.

I don't have time to look through this whole thread, but I'm hoping that GAF was honest and said that his taste is music is shit (ex: see his name).
You know, come to think of it... many of us would probably be more happy on a general music site than a U2 fan site. And that's not a slight against Interference... just that many of us have probably moved on from being U2 nuts to more.. simply, music nuts!
I was always a music nut first.
Just, still, like U2 more than any other band.

Well... actually I was a music nut first too, actually. But my U2 craziness peaked in the 90s and now I think I'm back to being a general music nut!
Yeah, I love U2 as much as I ever have. The thing is, unlike so many posters in EYKIW, those of us here in B&C have the capacity to understand that there are other acts out there. U2 is still my favorite act going presently, but that doesn't diminish the greatness of the others, and vice versa. An album that's wonderful doesn't become any less wonderful because there's another that has your full attention at the moment. When U2 decides to release the new album, I'll be there.
I've really added a decent lists of artists to my favorites that I doubt I'd know of if not for this site.
From GAF to Scumbo, I find most people's tastes to be interesting
Here's my big one: classical music is NOT just for university professors or people who want to make themselves appear more intelligent than they actually are. It's wonderful and well worth looking into -- don't let the "classical music is boring" stereotype turn you away. There are times when I actually feel more in touch with, say, Shostakovich or Chopin than I do with any modern form of popular music.
Michael Stipe is the greatest bald, white, homosexual frontman to ever come out of Athens, Georgia.
Tupac Shakur was one of the most brilliant musical artists of the last quarter century.
-Though the '90s will probably be remembered for the horrific musical stylings of Vanilla Ice and 75 million boy bands, the decade put out some of the best music of the last 30-40 years.
The Smiths wouldn't have been anywhere near as good without Andy Rourke's bass playing
Blood Sugar Sex Magik is a bad album, a really bad album
Neon Bible is as good as Funeral
Accelerate is all energy and no good songs
Funeral is miles better than Neon Bible.
Neon Bible is much better than Funeral!!!
The only two RHCP albums I like are By the Way and Californiacation
Ryan Adams is overrated, and a prick

Ryan Adams is a prick
One thing that firmly makes Neon Bible better than Funeral is that on that album, they actually know how to finish a song, and don't go into this weird, out-of-place dance-y thing after every epic track. Listen to the ends of "Wake Up" and "Crown of Love" and you'll see what I mean.

Don't understand this complaint, never will. Oh well.
