Mellotronists

agreed. appreciation of different types of music, like so many 
things, is a matter of individual taste. i had friends who loved 70's 
era King Crimson AND The Grateful Dead. i could never figure that 
out. opposite ends of the spectrum if you ask me. i never could and 
still don't appreciate The Dead. but that doesn't mean they SUCK. i 
just don't personally like them...the music bores me to death. 
but...to each their own. i begrudge no-one their artistic expression. 
if i don't care for the music i just won't buy or listen to it. i see 
no need to bash the band or the people who DO like them.

one of the problems with society today (and this is MY opinion, 
that's all) is that some people aren't willing to agree to disagree. 
with music, that's almost essential. not everyone is going to like 
the same things. and some people will like the same band but for 
totally different reasons. it makes for some tension but, the world 
would be a pretty boring place if everyone liked and disliked the 
same things. 

anyway, just some food for thought. bon appetit!!
