Hi Gary, 

  Yes, I am suggesting that what you like sucks and you should not 
listen to it. While your at it, please stop listening to the 
Vandalias! 

Kidding!!!
 Personally, I gave my post and thought I was being clear that it was 
totally subjective and had as much to do with time in one's life, as 
the music. It honestly never occurs to me that my opinion would be 
regarded by anyone as fact. Seriously, that would be a big mistake to 
take my opinion as fact, I don't even do that!
  However, even Stewart's thinking Belle and Sebastian suck to the 
high heavens doesn't really matter to me, despite the fact that I 
respect his opinion on music. Why doesn't it matter, well, because I 
like Belle and Sebastian and I have to listen to them through my ears 
and experience (not Stewart's). 
   That said, It was mostly for fun in my eyes but I know that these 
threads are found annoying by some and not fun. There is no real 
point beyond that and honestly some of the fun is seeing that some 
with great tastes on this list love what I do not.  It all works.
  Anyway, honestly no harm meant to anyone who loves what I do not. 
For goodness sakes, I've said it before, LEO SAYER'S first two albums 
are great!! Therefore, why would anyone listen to my opinion? :)
   Lastly, I got grumpy over the MSNBC aspect of the thread the other 
day, so hey, I can relate to how your feeling, even if it's different 
things that bug us.
So really, no harm meant. 

best, Steve
