[net.music] One vote for net.music.gdead from a non-dead fan

blickstein@eiffel.DEC (Dave Blickstein) (03/18/85)

I vote FOR the creation of net.music.gdead.

Someone has asked what makes the music of the gdead so different from all else
that they deserve their own group?  My answer is absolutely nothing. Their
music, to my ears, is far less destiguishable from standard radio fare than
some of the progressive groups recently put-down by one of the deadheads
campaigning for gdead (ELP, Yes, etc.).

But even if their music doesn't distinguish them (in my opinion), one thing
certainly does:  The extreme fanaticism of their fans, who are capable of
generating disks full of tour dates, playlists and completely non-music
related trivia.

I think both deadheads and non-deadheads would be best served by the creation
of a subgroup.
