>>OK, then, Average Guy, you're so sure that Kate's music is >>"over-produced", IED dares you to point out even one >>sound in The Dreaming that's unnecessary. JUST ONE. >Well, technically speaking, the whole album is unnecessary. But I know >what you mean and unfortunately I can't answer you. I don't own a copy of >the album, and the friend who played it for me 'way back when is out of town. This is really a scream, Blore. You've been carrying on this argument all this time, and not only do you not even own a copy of The Dreaming, but you've only listened to it once? The Dreaming?! ONCE?? THE DREAMING??? O N C E ? ? ? This conversation can serve no further purpose. -- Andrew Marvick

ONCE?? >THE DREAMING??? O N C E ? ? ? This conversation can serve no further >purpose. Actually, I've heard it three or four times, the most recent was about six months ago, after I bought "Hounds of Love" and decided maybe it deserved another chance. But that's neither here nor there. Why shouldn't I be able to make a judgment after hearing it once, or twice, or (in Doug's case) half a dozen times? I make decisions about music, books, movies, etc. all the time, usually based on only one listening/reading/viewing/whatever. Do I have to own a videocassette of "Runaway Train" and have watched it every day for the past three months before I can voice my opinion? No, I don't think so, and I also don't think you can show that a record album is any different from a movie in this regard. This, by the way, is exactly the reaction I expected. How about responding to the meat of my argument? -- "I don't think any songs should be banned, except maybe 'The Night Chicago Died' by Paperlace" Steve "Blore" Howard, Average Guy {hplabs, seismo}!hao!udenva!showard or {boulder, cires, ucbvax!nbires, cisden}!udenva!showard
