There IS a fair whack of good, substantial music out there.

I won't mention Metallica as they seem to have become older than Pink Floyd, but bands like Sigur Ros(who are absolutely fantastic), Eels, 90's Air(Premier syptomes being a personal fave), Tricky, Massive Attack, Coldcut and Black Box Recorder all write music that eschews popular and commercial trend, IS proud of itself(in a non migraine inducing way) and doesn't make a mayfly like appearence in our consciousness before becoming obsolete.

You just have to look for it and pay attention to word of mouth, because it doesn't get played on daytime radio.


Incidentally, I believe that it is YOU , Bull, who has the edge as far as "tenure of fandom" goes.



Cheers,

Mark
