Oh, and just to lend my support on the side conversation: I am a musician (have been for about 9 years now), and I cannot stand Dave Matthews or his band. It's simply a personal opinion and there's certainly no reason for such a heated argument about it.

I don't like the Grateful Dead, yet I would never say "I can't stand Jerry Garcia or his band" because it's pretty ignorant. What is it they did that makes you not be able to stand them? Is it their constant support of over 60 charities across the world through Bama Rags?

When I heard Bruce Hornsby doing Jack Straw and Jane's Addiction doing Ripple I realised that I like the Grateful Dead's songwriting, I just don't like how they play it.

Personal opinions only come about through personal interaction. What is it you don't like about "his band" (which it isn't, it's just the name of the band)?
Is it the fact that the majority of the band are black? Is it the fact that their drummer is too polyrythmic for you and you prefer mostly 4/4 rock? Is it the jazz and blues influences you don't like? The African groove?

To make blanket statements is rather uninsightful and doesn't lend anything to any conversation.

PS - SACD is great and AlexKx doesn't have much of a clue what is going on here. He doesn't understand the technical points being made for and against Blu-ray having audio.

Alex - SonyBMG already have a site up for Blu-ray. If you think they don't intend to release some music on it I think you're dreaming; but to suggest that SACD is a has been format is rather shortsighted. The reasons why have already been explained to you and all you can come back with is "that's funny"
