Although I agree with you on the fact that one cannot say that something sucks or not, I do feel compelled to say the voting doesn't mean anything either. Especially if you take into account that renowned artists and bands such as Pearl Jam often get high scores no matter what song is on. I feel this song's rating is overly positive, but hey, who am I? I think you summed up the great all-time debate about art. To wit, there is a certain objectivity about "good" art (i.e., reputation), and a certain subjectivity about "good" art (i.e., do you like it?). If we were all to adopt the orthodoxy of the former, more powerful and oppressive school, then we may as well all stop commenting henceforth and submit to the tyranny of the innumerable nitwit parrots who perfunctorily give high ratings to anything by reputable bands. I'll side with Sir Joseph on this one, for sticking to his guns, even though I like this song. |

You are completely off base - but I guess you are entitled to your opinion. The great 2 and their Seattle friends - and the Pumpkins, reinvigorated the hard rock universe that the Who and Zeppelin created, while bringing in the master song craft they learned from spending hours and hours listening to the Beatles. Paul_in_Australia wrote: The ineluctable modality of the audible. I think the last paragraph of your comment deserves further analysis. It sounds like it is a quote from a character in a novel. "Brad drew on his first Marlboro of the day, and opined at length about the origins of the Universe. Being still intoxicated from last night's bourbon, he segued seamlessly to the origins of music, before getting confused, and ascribing the origins of the Universe to Chuck Berry, then Little Richard, and finally developing a Grand Theory of Relativity which embraced the 'Great Two' as originators of all matter in the Universe, as well as being progenitors of be-bop, rock and roll, new wave, but not hip hop and rap, which he denounced as the work of the devil, < or on retelling Eminem, assuming the two were actually different people> "
Can't believe I missed this. Paul — if your still out there — Bravo man. This is brilliant. LMAO |

Just because YOU think it sucks, does not ACTUALLY mean that it sucks, fyi.

However, this does not take away from the kindness of that gesture and the fact that they spend their personal time giving joy to those less fortunate and for that I salute them!
