For example. Now THERE'S Jazzy. All good. Yeah that is jazz but Simon does really really really really jaz-jaz-jazzzy stuff as well. (i don't do strange faces and shake my toes while i listen to it without any reason) >Anyway: This is somewhat of an insult, just because someone doesn't like >Freeform (who in my ears isn't innovative at all) doesn't mean that he/she >is a conservative, passive music listener.

Sorry folks. It might be good music but you have to make it into >separate things. You are putting Kraftwerk as inovative. That's like putting L.V. Bethowen (i don't even know how to spell it) as inovative. OK Black Dog is in our century so it's allright. (but Kraftw..... come on). You are promoting grandparents on the list and young people like Simon Pykes who are the next generations of music makers, you put them as LATTER category. Woow gee, thanks. C'mon , swich ON. Rob's bro. btw i've got nothing against Kraftwek it's was just an example.
