ian, yr posts are always intelligent + often completely spot on, but ferkristzake take yr head out of yr arse for a minute! does this make U2 or Yes (or pretty much ANY other shite rock band) more like "true artists" than Phil Spector, or Lee Perry, or Howlin Wolf, or Basic Channel?
and to continue yr analogy, you ever read raymond carver, or katherine mansfield, or chekhov???
anyway, in this i-pod shuffle era, albums are officially over ... everyone knows that
