Not to sound overly harsh, but the REALLY SAD thing is this list has
been overrun by newbies with Hotmail accounts making dozens of posts
each day full of sweeping generalizations. There's two thousand
people on this list, and hundreds of artists are discussed. Why not
sit back and lurk a while? You'll eventually pick up on lots of
unique artists that don't sound like Ae and AFX. One good way to
start is to peruse people's playlists.
