In reply to a suggestion to split net.music into classical and popular,
here is an old article of mine that first appeared about a year ago:

========================================================================

Perhaps a better split would be between commercial/mass oriented music
that's `really climbing the charts this week' and, well, just music.
We could call them `net.music.$$$' and `net.music.only'.

The $$$ group would be used for articles about Human League, MTV crap,
Men at Work, Barry Manilow, Hooked on XXX, discofied jazz, top forty
anything, and other stuff you can play at parties.

Net.music.only would receive articles ranging from anonymous 9th
century composers to aging blues singers, and would encompass such
topics as Dick Urine & the Scum Fucs, Tennstedt's latest Mahler
release, Art Bears, John Coltrane, Millions of Dead Cops... you
know, stuff that empties out a room in 5 seconds flat!
