That's YOUR opinion of course, just like what I said about these bands, is mine. I'm sorry, musical impact or not, I dont "get it". I freely admit, they are quite wonderful, and Im sure some are worthy of being called great musicians/songwriters/etc, but IMHO, I just don't get why folks flip out over so many of these guys?
I Guess many here could argue about how much I love Morrissey/The Smiths? I'm sure many would feel the same way about them, as I do about the bands I listed?
Doesn't mean "I dont know what Im talking about", just an opinion, that is different from yours.
