Guess it's all just a matter of taste... there isn't really *good* or *bad* music. My music taste changes really rapidly... guess it's because I'm growing up... but I don't think it means the music I listen to now is any better than what I used to a couple of years ago. I can't stand a lot of music I used to listen to 5-6 years ago, but that doesn't make it crap. Who knows - I could hate Joan Baez a year from now... right now she's pretty much my favourite. Hmm... but then I can't conceive of hating Joan Baez ever! Point is - music's an essential part of life... whatever music it may be. Music's just music - whether it's rap or rock or folk... or just the *music of nature*. Can't live without it, and I don't think anyone actually can :-).
