JOINING A FANCLUB... The line we cross when we pass from an "appreciator" of music to a "fan" of music beholds a threshold of power. Not even sure I'd know how to clarify it. I think we just "feel" it. Some wacky cosmic connection or something... possibly? Appreciate for the art created? Lyrics? Unique sound? Although I'm not fanatical about many bands at any given time. There have been times when I simply couldn't "get enough"... these times come and go... here's my INcomplete list. hehe STILL STRONG: Ozzy... nearly 20years... yeesh BarrenCross... 1986-present...(like Iron Maiden, but better.) Tesla... 1986-present (not a good CD since 91 tho) The Cure... 1987-present ConcreteBlonde... 1988-present King's X... 1988-present TheDoors... 1988-present Jellyfish... 1990-present BlackCrowes... 1990-present **edit** Beck... 1995-present (I was a late-comer) Sublime... 1995-present (late-comer, again) Ben Harper... 1997-present Calexico... 1999-present The Goodies... 2000-present... kick-ass. TenaciousD... 2001-present... BEST CD OF 2001 (before the release, I was an mp3 junkie) Laya Fisher... 2001-present... slick production The Asylem Street Spankers... 2002-present... yep. FADED BUT IMPRESSIONABLE: REO Speedwagon... 1980-1992, when I was nearly crushed at the concert. Petra... 1982-1989... faded Stryper... 1983-1989... faded Magnum... 1986-1995ish (became horribly boring) Led Zepplin... 1986-1994 (everyone goes thru their Zep Phase. hehe) George Michael... 1990 (one CD. Listen Without Prejudice. Great CD.) LennyKravtiz... 1991-1999ish (AmericanWoman killed it for me.) Pearl Jam... 1991-1995 (lost their energy) LiVE... 1991-2000 (dunno) Guess Who... 1991-1995 (American Woman rocked.) Alanis Morisette... 1995-1997 (remember when she rocked?) Well, there's more I'm sure... but I'm tired. peace- seanrox
