Thank you for that! At least it outweighs your being wrong about Yes.

Steve Howe was a huge fan of the Shads, and Gilmore brought Hank's Strat & echo-echo-y sound wholesale, so you have to include The Shadows as well.

First Statement, I think their 1995 self entitled isn't bad. I really like Sludge Factory, Again, and Head Creeps. Not a bad song, really. Not excellent by any standards, but not bad.

Agree on first one, i too enjoy self-titled a lot. Disagree on second part.

I think people's taste ultimately comes down to appreciating certain aesthetics more than others. For example, genres like prog. rock, classical, jazz and certain brands of pop will always appeal to me more than punk, blues or post-punk because I love how richly embellished those genres are. Slick production, keyboards, saxophones and epic, inspired sounding hooks are my bread and butter. Furthermore, I enjoy the high-octane dynamics present in my favorite genres that get scoffed at or ignored often in a raw, stripped down sonic world. Although post-rock attempts to bridge that gap somewhat, you don't get much of those things I love with today's punk/New Wave influenced Indie rock unless they're on a Roxy Music worship binge.
That being said, more power to jazz punk: the stuff's raw, improvised, and unhindered by the perceived weaknesses of its father/mother genres.

^ Talking of Roxy Music, here's one for ya: They seem to be one of those bands everyone is supposed to like, especially if you consider yourself 'artsy', but I find them boring, bland, melodyless and simply uninteresting and Bryan Ferry's voice is downright annoying at times. (Not to mention his mug, but that's another story).
