Remind me never to indulge into *anything* political on this list. :-) 
Drew, you're quite an analist. :-) I am not an ultra-socialist either, I 
only said I didn't like the Beatles and neither do I like George Bush (both 
of them).

OK, time to admit it. I love The Weather Girls! I like a lot of stuff from 
Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson (and Gram Parson). I have about 10 
Cajun records. I have a disco collection that can make my friends jealous!

I'M A BIG FAN OF DISCO AND COUNTRY/WESTERN MUSIC!!!

There, I said it. Now stone me or whatever. I don't have a tunnel-visioned 
sight on music; I just think that The Beatles are CRAP! That's my opinion. 
If you like 'em, that's great. Sidenote; I do like Ringo Starr's solo work, 
*AND* I have a lot of his stuff from his recent live tours with the 
all-starr-bands. "Photograph" is one of my favourite songs. And I also like 
McCartney's solo/Wings stuff... But for the rest of it... YUCK, YUCK, YUCK! :-)
I like both The Who and disco music. But I *don't* like The Beatles, not 
matter how important they where for rock history.

I just keep hearing they where that important, kinda like how important 
Elvis Presley was for rock music. And I don't like Elvis' music either! 
IMO, compared to The Who's music, The Beatles sound flat & dull (lyrics & 
music).

And I don't like Beethoven, Bach and Mozart either.

I don't care if they where Gods, I don't like 'em! :-)
