No sure what point you're attempting to make, Al. Are you saying that music is only any good if it can appeal to a wide enough demographic to shift huge numbers of units - and that conversely any music that is of more of a minority interest is by default crap? Surely there's some flaw in that sort of thinking? A flaw that suggests everyone involved with music should give up and go home unless they are specifically creating music engineered to appeal to the lowest common demoninator, most mainstream tastes? There's clearly a place for people who want to do that sort of thing (but not generally in my record collection!) but what a tedious musical world it would be if that was all we had. Give me diversity any day.
