You mean like to admit they like - there's a big difference. Now I'm not a mind-reader but I know for sure that discussions about music are often as more about enhancing one's "credibility" than it is about revealling one's favorite and most listened to music.

I find it unimaginable that anyone who was into music for a number of years could suddenly discover the Clash's London Calling (or any other recording of popular music for that matter) because it was audiophile remastered or now sounds so good because it's been recorded onto CD from being spun on a 90K TT.

I'm sure some good stuff has shown up on that list before - but IMO it's not as worthwhile as spending a couple of hours at a Virgin records listen station or reading any number of music fan websites.

Why I or anyone else should care what these self-annoited audio celebrities listen to is beyond me.

Give me rhythm or give me death!
