Absolutely nothing inferior about their taste, they just nom a lot from a genre that doesn't click with the gurus.<br />A lot of my Americana songs are well respected in those circles but greeted with silence here, which is fine; I accept that's the way it is. I could never blame bad guru decisions though - that'd be telling people who are listed that my taste is superior and they don't really deserve to be there.

My extra problem, if you like, is the continued cold shoulder given to the music type - heavy rock - that forms the base of my musical taste, and it's getting beyond a joke.<br /> <br />Talking of which, thanks, nilpferd, for the virtual restraining, calming arm around my elbow way back upthread. I had indeed had the red mist come down, and I owe RobF an apology for that.<br /> <br />I figured out pretty quickly it was better all round if I had a weekend off RR.<br /> <br />Cheers everyone.DarceysDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127535982454288939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-78917423514808695532010-03-20T15:14:33.641+00:002010-03-20T15:14:33.641+00:00as one of the Guardian's core readership/demog...as one of the Guardian's core readership/demographic..

We all have noms that we are convinced fit the theme better than anything and should really be included, last week for me it was the Divine Comedy's, um, divine "Ten Seconds to Midnight", it didn't make the ten but it was no biggie. Not enough to boycott the board for a week, I would have thought, but each to their own of course.<br /><br />Plus, to be honest, the ten has to fit the Guardian's core readership/demographic in some way and, let's face it, AC/DC don't do that whereas Gil Scott Heron does.richardrjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03475284453051153223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-39119757224452352372010-03-19T22:22:32.863+00:002010-03-19T22:22:32.863+00:00ummm...ummm...nilpferdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818100352162861468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-53039632040916990302010-03-19T22:20:42.440+00:002010-03-19T22:20:42.440+00:00what thing?what thing?tincanmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12200557175717172969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-71423556685345271832010-03-19T22:18:51.809+00:002010-03-19T22:18:51.809+00:00Well, I remembered the last time.. write the same ...Well, I remembered the last time.. write the same thing in 3 months, and see if I remember it then.nilpferdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818100352162861468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-84892534909234298032010-03-19T22:09:41.204+00:002010-03-19T22:09:41.204+00:00oops
