I know we're getting off-topic here but I have to call you out on this attitude -- it's complete bullshit. You want to be able to prop up this bogus theory that an entire genre is creatively defunct so you oh-so-cleverly define the stuff you happen to *like* out of the genre? Give us a break. ("Disco sucks!" "Yeah, well, what about that Giorgio Moroder record I see in your collection over there?" "THAT'S NOT DISCO! It's...uh...it's ELECTRIC EUROPOP! Yeah! Not disco!") -- ::: Lazlo (lazlo@rt66.com) ::: Visit http://rt66.com/lazlo/ for Discographies, Record ::: Collecting Resources, The Internet Music Wantlists, and more.
