....well I think Stop Crying Your Heart Out, Importance of Being Idle and Little By Little are good tunes....so neh!

My view on rock stuff is....to listen to music with my heart rather than my head (although the ears come in handy too). I think music within the 'rock' genre should not be intellectually discussed although I find myself doing it - it's all rather embarrasing at times. This is why I find a lot of prog very difficult to listen to as the musicians tend to come over as trying too hard to be virtuoso when they're clearly not - its all very pretentious. The people who pushed punk were very important in addressing that balance in rock music but I think there's been a shift back into that old stuff recently. I'm a musical snob and to me most rock music is the lowest common denominator. Best take it on its primal level first time you hear it, play it and then put it away and get an Oscar Peterson album out with the a glass of port and a cigar.
