>That's pretty funny considering that pretty much all of you listed the
exact same bands<

i said that non-funny thing, so i get to reply.
_i_ listed different bands from most people's which proves either that i
march to the beat of a different bongo or am just stupider than all the
smiths fans out there.  actually, marginalized as i am, morrissey's lyrics
don't really speak to me.  egocentric and whiny, with a few witty phrases
here and there, as far as i can tell - though i can see how he speaks for
a legion of angst-ridden introspectives.  no offense meant.  i have two 
smiths albums so back off.  the lack of black folks on the music list is
startling; good point.  can't say i care for the music most american
blacks are making today.  but fats waller and louis armstrong and their
ilk - and the unique jimi hendrix - were geniuses. 99.9% of rap, however,
bugs the hell out of me.  i bet most b/s fans feel the same way, our
favorite band being sprightly and twee and soft-spoken.  perhaps i'm just
too old and crotchety.  humbug.

You shall not chase my gloom away!
There's such a charm in melancholy
I would not if I could be gay."
