^ That`s an interesting surprise,
Vanilla !
I liked the quote of the week from Lady G.
I don`t think there`s anything wrong with having, or naming, a favourite artist.
Although it`s true, as
starrynight suggests, that music is not a competion, choosing a favourite among dissimilar artists isn`t particularly difficult. I just ask myself, "Whose music do I listen to most often ?" - and that`s my favourite, even if, as
dj says, the answer might change at a later date.

^ This is so true for me too ! I used to worship Ray Davies and all his works, but I have thankfully grown out of that kind of devotion.
These days, the only time I don`t care for excessive loyalty is when people let it override their usual critical faculties. For instance, I`ve heard people praising what I regard as really substandard material by VU, The Beatles, Dylan and The Dead and I have wondered, " If this wasn`t by somebody famous, I bet you`d be calling it rubbish."
Which is not to say that I, like most of us, am not guilty of making that same mistake once in a while.
