| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. Totally forgot about Alison Shaw from Cranes. She sounds like a possessed child but in a good way. | |
| If you wanted to impress someone, which track? Good one Mapman. When I sold some speakers a while back that's the song the buyer asked to play to make sure he wanted them. | |
| Black-Eyed-Peas, the future of modern music? Thanks for the kind words Onhwy61. Much appreciated. | |
| Black-Eyed-Peas, the future of modern music? Why isn't it possible to not like something without hearing it? I do not like Kenny G.'s last album...I can guarantee you that...nor have I heard it. Why can't the same logic be applied here? | |
| The Sound or Music I just turned 40 and I have been collecting cds since '87. I have sold many MANY thousands over the years though. I used to get plenty of free promos while I was running or working at record stores. Here's a video I made last year showing most of ... | |

| Best Rock Album in 2010 I'm totally diggin' the new Phosphorescent album. They've added Memphis style horns and upped the tempo a bit for quite a change to their usual sound. Matthew's voice is still front and center. | |
