This posting is not an attempt to mention my favorite, but rather to reiterate a point that comes up nearly every 6 months or so (every time a bunch of new folks get on the net, maybe). This sort of cheerleading by list is a real waste of time, and we've gotta sit through it with nearly every instrument every time someone starts it. If we've got to sit around talking about "who's the best" (note that I find this sort of chatter equally offensive in net.classical....maybe even *more* so there, since the tendency to elitism is occaisionally a bit higher -just a *feeling* mind you ;-) ), let's at least try it as if we're tryng to introduce someone who doesn't know the person's work at all. Give some examples or pointers (to an array of albums) for the people who *might* be really interested in the question. The other kind of name dropping is just a bunch of wank. Flame off. Now, let's try an interesting question. Anyone want to try talking about the "unsung genius of the thrash guitar?" I've oftern wondered why thrash guitarists don't use those cheapie Univox guitar synthesizers. THey do the nicest job of laying down the buzz of doom (though perhaps not intentionally) of any device I ever heard. Does the good thrasher sneer at the synthesizer in general principle? Okay: catharsis and questions. That's about the best I can do. Your turn. ________________________________________________________________________________ Traditionele communicatie is een controlemiddel omdat het gestructureerde, omlijnde visies opdringt.
