I would vote for "They were good, now they are less good" option if it were on there

I have no opinion of this band. I think I've heard maybe 3 or 4 songs and I liked them well enough, but not enough to pursue it further.

I don't know why everyone has to have strong feelings about every single band out there.

and yes, I guess "meh" would count as ambivalence, but some of you are so aggressive in your meh that you might as well admit you hate the band but don't have a good enough reason to.

I voted Meh. I don't listen to them and have only dealt with them when they opened for Dylan. I have no hate or animosity toward them, just not a group I've went out of my way to listen to them.

This post is for Derris.

The Obner four point scale:

  • Great
  • Meh
  • Suck
  • RIYL?




Amazing how everything fits into those few categories.

If it isn't great it either sucks or it's meh? That means 99.9% of all music is in the suck/meh category. Kinda like Drinky's np.

And category #4 means "I haven't heard it yet."

to be honest, I really believe it's like that. I stopped to listen to music that I find just okay. sure, almost all music is not great but why should I bother for all the "okay" stuff? I listen to something new, decide for me if it has potential and then either delete it or spin the shit out of it. quite often I buy it. great is not stellar, some of the great things can turn to something very long lasting for me.
I bought loads of cds in my life which were only okay. I don't know why anymore.
judgements without knowledge, on the other hand, are in the meh/suck category.

I missed all of the discussion leading up to this, but I laughed very hard.

Ha Ha...i'd describe your np as 50% great, 50% suck with very little falling anywhere in between.
