Definitely. I got tired of my dumb-ass friends listening to their usual Nirvana/Green Day-type (crap) music a couple years ago, so I forced every single one of them to listen to Aphex Twin. (That was all I was really into at the time, but it was better than nothing.) Some liked it, some didn't. But I still feel that I single-handedly drove up the sales of the "Ventolin" EP and "...I Care". :) And all that came after someone else had forced ME to listen Aphex. :) +-------------------------+-------------------------------------+ | Ryan Visima | richard d james: aphex twin | | rvisima@astral.magic.ca | http://www.magic.ca/~rvisima/aphex/ | +-------------------------+----------------+--------------------+ | nine inch nails: the art of self destruction |Performa 6320CD | | http://www.magic.ca/~rvisima/nin/ |48MB/1.2GB/4xCD | +----------------------------------------------+----------------+
