No offense, but I really don't care if the Nineties produces someone like 
that 
or not.  
 
Somebody somewhere on this thread tried to make the point that wholesale 
evaluations of musical eras (the 90s, the 80s, the 70s, the 60s, etc. was
great/not great) doesn't work because all of them produced a lot of bad 
music 
to go with the good.   It is that point I agree with.

Why do I not care?  Because thanks to the Internal and mailorder it is
easier for me than ever before to reach out and get some great music. I
don't have to depend on commercial radio in the hope something good might
come along. :)

Cheers,
Paolo Valladolid
