| I'm not sure that the "top 40 charts" are too much of an indication of talent (well, okay, I'm damn aure they aren't)... nor even a reliable indicator of popularity. Who likes Creed in such numbers? The "charts" strike me as being a very narrow and distorted view of things pereptuated by people whose interests are in making their people seem more popular and acclaimed than they actually are. I know the plural of anecdote is not data, but most people I know couldn't name most of the current "top 40" music, I should think. Kind of like how all you need to get a "New York Times Bestseller" is to get a bunch of books sold in bulk by retailers. It's gotten to the stage where the list bears little resemblence to people's real buying or reading tastes. If you find a bunch of "New York Times Bestsellers" in a dollar bin at a thrift store, it's a good bet that they pulled that trick. That's not to say there isn't good "top 40" music because there is, but I think it's a pretty incidental thing. ie "goodness" and "top40ness" are basically independent of each other, and there's not much of a cause and effect relationship between the two.

| I don't understand how you CAN like all that poppy and cheesy stuff elmo! (note, respecting your opinion, just curious as to how you can like it!) From a musicians standpoint its killing what used to be the MUSIC industry, with made-to-measure stars and artists, making it all the harder for aspiring muso's to break into the industry! Trance (and i tried so hard to listen to it!) is the most boring music I'v ever heard, and I'm doing a degree recordingm so I need to listen to all and every type of music! Its so repetative. Don't even get me started on the filth that populates the top 40! I honestly get angry when I see the shallowness of the general public, rushing to meet their new "idol" who in 10 minutes will be dumped for the next ponce with flashy clothes and an even odder hairstyle. Call me a music snob if you will, but I honestly can't deem "pop" and all its subcultures "music" You'll call me closed minded, but I'm not. I will give anything a good listen, and if I like it, being a sufferer of Obsessive compulsive disorder when it comes to music, will endeavour to get every album, every side project and every bit of info i can! I'd list my CD collection, but I havenae the time to write out over 1000 CDs! |

| If elmo wants to listen to music like that then he should, it really shouldn't matter what people listen to. It's just down right idiotic of someone to judge someone else on what they wear or listen to or who they hang around with. It's the persons choise what they want to do. |
