Well, let's face it. Rock *is* dead. Unless, of course, you consider Limp Biskit to be an evolution of rock. It's become institutionalised. I fear the same will happen to "idm". Are the glory days gone? Are they still riding high? If these are the late 60s, then we've got a whole shedload of good stuff on the way. If these are the late 70s however...well, at least metallica are right around the corner. BTW, thanks all for offering albums to counter the "IDM is dead" thread. I've got a few new albums now :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
