maybe this question has been discussed before but not since ive been on
the list so im going to ask it.   first some background info on how this
question popped into my head. 

     a while back my friend sort of got me interested in georgio moroder
(sp?) and played me some stuff i really liked.  since then ive been
looking for stuff by him to pick up but havent really found any.  
tonight i sat down with some friends to watch the movie "cat people" and
while i was reading the back of the movie box, i noticed georgio moroder
had done the music for the film.  first i thought great but as i listened
to the music through out the flick i began to wish i didnt know it was
him so that i could listen without bias...    so what im asking is: do
you find that when you listen to music, knowing who has written it, do
you have a bias (good or bad) ?  

     often times when my friend and i listen to music we will play stuff
with out telling the other what it is so that we can hear it without
attaching any pre or post conceived notions....

anyone else?
