Well, how you you define "commercial"? Music that is sold? Music that is sold by major lables? Music that is sold in corporate-owned stores? Music that is used in commercials? RDJ loses on all counts. :) This _is_ getting to be rather silly, especially since I personally don't believe that U2 is idm. But I don't think that an individual's opinion should dictate what should be discussed on the list. If someone has got a good, unpopular argument, hoorah. That sort of bravery is what should make us think...you know..."intelligent" dance music. -- Warren Lapham (ceremony-owner@monkey.org) laps@umich.edu (laps@monkey.org)
