Edit: By the way what poll is it that "Marge" was a landsilde in?

Either way, I'm out of this thread. If you want to continue to bash me and the "rock that I live under," I'll have to take that up with the mods.
And for the record, it's WORK...as in...worked all weekend there.

"Am I into rock music? Yes."
-Well, I have to really disagree on that if you 'really' like rock music.
"And according to the posting above, they never had a top 10 hit. That's reason enough I wouldn't know them if I wasn't even alive when they were around AND that also means stations today probably aren't playing them."
-Being alive at a time means nothing. I wasn't alive for many artists from jazz, blues, country and classical. I still know the genre I like, even ones I do not, and know the importance of artists from way back. Oh, I heard Pink Floyd about 5 times today on different stations. No stations are playing them? Not saying you have to like these artists but to ask "What is the big deal?"
Oh and my Grandmother had no idea who Pink Floyd is, she listens to mostly Hawaiian music and Journey...she considers herself to be a true music fan.

It doesn't matter that you don't like that type of music. If you're into music at all you would have heard of them.
That's like if I said I'd never heard of Cher because I hate pop music (which I do).
If you're really big into music, you know all the major, influential acts in at least all the mainstream genres.

I fucking loathe country music, and I at least know the name. It's impossible not to if you're big enough into music to listen to the radio, watch music videos, read music magazines etc.
If you're just a casual music fan, then sure, you won't know all the big artists in the big genres.

I personally couldn't give a shit and doesn't have a bearing on my life nor this debate.

at lunch here at work, a colleague and myself were talking about various bands/artists at Live8, and I have to admit, I was like Rob Thomas - who the **** is he, why is he so popular (drab and unmemorable music IMO)?
