are we talking live music or recorded music? i hold live stuff to an entirely different standard. i thought we were talking about recorded music that "isn't technically perfect in terms of" blah blah blah.

you're being misled by the word "perfect". we were talking about being able to enjoy music that may be deficient in one area but strong in another. my ability to enjoy music like that is severely lacking. it's gotta be a strong all around package (and this includes production quality) or i get turned off real fast. pardon me if i seem exceptionally grouchy today but the Blue Angels have been buzzing my neighborhood for a few hours now and i've got a splitting headache. :) -- Name: Jon Email: jsd@cyborganic.com Web: http://www.cyborganic.com/People/jsd
