I just thank the goddess that no one mentioned Babes in Toyland.

Didn't I mention Lyle Lovett?  Hank Williams (Sr)?  Johnny Cash?  Is 
KD Lang considered country?  Not all country is CRAP.

Hold the phone!!   I don't consider Enya easy listening!  Sure, she's 
easy on the ears, but Key-RIST!! don't label Enya along with elevator 
music...  Crime-ma-nelly!

Ditto.  Inquiring minds want to know...

This is just uncalled for.  I only noticed one or two lists that were 
exclusively 70's stuff.  Ok, maybe more, but the majority of the 
lists were pretty timely and eclectic.  Even though some of the 
choices made me wince, I was impressed with the range of 'artists' 
listened to by this group... (is that right?  I wish this had a 
grammar check...)

Meow!

Like that would be hard to do.... (I CAN'T believe I just said that!!! 
 It just slipped out!  I couldn't stop my self!!!  PLEASE FORGIVE ME 
KATE!!!)
