James K - good voice and lyrics. Find the music a tad insipid.

And yes, I keep saying it's a question of taste. And when I mentioned that there seems to be a tendency here to certain aesthetics I got my wrist slapped. But several posts have supported what I said. I understand your aesthetic, and even support it in certain instances. I often love purely expressed voices and beautiful harmonies. I don't think you understand mine in this case. You think The Agnostics require 'remedial work'. No. In their aesthetic universe they sound fantastic, it's just a mode of expression you don't hold with.

Great Big Sea are, to my mind, poster-boy folk-rock with few redeeming features.
