- A fellow proposes:
- > 5)[Band name deleted to protect the guilty]
- > Another unique band. Have a once in a lifetime sound.
-
- Yes, but does that compare with a once in a geometric age sound?
-
- Well at least this guy tried to explain why she chose these
- bands. It's too bad that the reasons are not terribly
- illuminating.
-
- I think that it is time to seriously consider creating ten new
- groups:
-
- 1) rec.music.lists - for top ten lists, lists of trios with three members,
- lists of songs with one syllable titles, etc.
-
- 2) rec.music.trivia - for discussing the meaning of North American Pie,
- who did what when and how. Should have a great FAQ (if you don't
- know what a FAQ is, immediately go to news.announce.newusers and
- read the articles on USENET).
-
- 3) rec.music.16-ton-weights - for those new posters who think that a bare
- list of their ten favourite albums/bands/brands of cereal is a
- worthwhile contribution to r.m.m.
-
- So what about the new Television album?
