Swing, and its bastard cousin "lounge".  Swing I can take as a nostalgia
thing (e.g., "String of Pearls"), but lounge repulses me as strongly as
disco did.  Luckily the fad seems to have worn off -- perhaps its followers
realized how vapid it was.

And thanks to Brian for the Our Lady Peace recommendation.

If you say so.  All I know is that until someone teaches him not to sing
through his nose, I can't listen to him.

ObWho:  I listened to Tommy in its entirety today (the original CD release)
on a good system while driving around and just thought about how amazing it
was to hear it for the first time.

Cheers,
