someone's love for obscure bands and other stuff.  I just don't
think its a way to measure who likes music more.  I don't
think there are any indicators.  Maybe someone can comment
on this and change my mind? >>

I think it is easy and convenient to be a Bowie, Beatles or Who-> fan but the 
person that goes deeper into obscurity may grow more as a result.  Not to 
sound like a musicologist snob, but I think the person into obscure music has 
the better acquired taste since they have explored more avenues in music than 
what is readily available.  They might not like music more but would be 
considered more developed to make opinions on what is available due to their 
extensive background.

Just a thought...
