Hmm... I'd only stroke 4 bands off the list, and I could understand why at least one is on there.
Skinny Puppy - okay, not everyone is a fan of heavy industrial, doesn't help the way Nivek Ogre looked back then either - like a slightly more muscular "Azriel Abyss" (from SNL's Goth Talk)
But I'm a fan of Live, and Bob Geldof and I respect the Doors (though after hearing Riders on the Storm for the millionth time on the radio, I'd have a bone to pick as well... but that should put George Thoroughgood on the list as well - anyone else's rock station play "One Bourbon..." 18 times a day?)
Hmm... does bring up the idea of putting Pat Boone and David Coverdale in a room together - last man standing lives.
You may disagree with their picks, but I'd never heard about Blender until now.

LOL. I never heard of Blender before either Brent. I saw this list in another forum.

Fabulous post, Jack. Just fabulous. You expressed my feelings exactly. There are lots of "good" movies or good pieces of music that I don't "enjoy". On a good day, I can recognize their technical merit, complexity and maybe even a hint of the artist's vision. But it is entirely possible that the artist is trying to reach me either in a way that I do not wish to be reached, or in a way that does not resonate with my life experience.
Another example is that many people are enthralled by reality TV or crime/medical shows. Those kinds of shows just make me feel grumpy or sad, so I choose to spend my leisure time on other things that make me feel happy. Now, I grant that ER is a "good" television show, but I don't care to watch that level of seriousness or that kind of content right before I go to bed.
And, most importantly, the diversity of our experiences and our interests is what makes this such a wonderful world.

Do what I do - since it's on here at 9:00pm, don't got to bed until 3:30am - lots of time to clear your head between!
