someone mentioned 16 Horsepower as being underrated....i have to say i completely disagree....again not confusing popularity with worth....pretty much anybody i have ever met who has heard 16 Horsepower enjoys them....if not...at least notes them as being 100% original

Agreed. I don't think I've ever heard anyone knock them.

Now now now now, you can call me whatever you like and I'll ignore it, but not once in this thread have I ever said anything even remotely resembling this comment.

What I said was that exaggerating how much you dislike something is not a way to make a valid point in a serious discussion.

I disagree. You did make one comment that stuck in my craw. Maybe I'm taking too much out of it, but it's not that big of a deal in the long run. But I will say that I appreciate you not abusing mod status.

I'll just let sleeping dogs lay at this point, though. As if Thom Yorke's (Or Bruce Springsteen's) voice is worth this much discussion and board drama.

Er, how can you disagree about my intentions? I'm clarifying that the impression I gave you is not the one I intended to leave. I haven't said a word actually defending Radiohead here; I simply think that it sounds juvenille to make a point by egregiously insulting an artist as the poster was at the time. You've misrepresented my post in a stunningly inaccurate fashion, and I'm making it clear that whether or not it was worded like a dick, the meaning is not as you claim.

Yeah. I'm not coming across how I want either. I didn't disagree about your intentions. I disagreed about ...

I think we're both not coming across the way we want to.

I'm happy to leave it at an impasse.

Same. Chalk it up to the intrinsic evil in trying to convey tone solely using text.

Underrated: Elliott Smith - a genuienly brilliant talent
Overrated: The Doors - Not saying they were bad, just not as great as everyone made them out to be.

It's interesting that you would come to that conclusion to try and satisfy your argument and dismiss the fact that I simply take an impartial view on it.

I wasn't even...but...

Oh forget it. All I did was ask a question.
