Underestimate Thomas At Your Own Peril

[Asher]

Good on you, but you're still a close-minded idiot for dismissing thing as crap if you've never heard it.

Three versions of the Mahler Symphony doesn't give you that ability.

If you start a thread about the new 'Brooks and Dunn' album, you can bet your ass I wouldn't reply to it saying "this album sucks!" without giving it a listen.

Ah ha! Neither did I! Point to where I said "This album sucks". The worst thing I said is that "I'll pass". Apparently, I'm not allowed to say an album is not my cup of tea until I listen to the whole thing .

And of course you wouldn't say "This Album Sucks". You just pop in and say "Country sucks" and how you listened to it over and over again because your parents or some such BS and how it's all this and that... you know, like you have in the past.

Come on guys... let's discuss the topic and NOT the posters...

Would you subject yourself to a Spice Girls album, or do you already have a pretty good idea about it?

Okay, sorry then, I got you confused with Agathon.

Thank you for your valuable contribution, then!

Except my parents don't listen to Country, my dad listened to 70s arena rock and my mom listens to stuff like Cher and The Supremes.

I'd rather have an angry ferret inserted into my rectum than listen to a Matchbox 20 record.

I don't buy albums that have the majority of songs written by someone other than the person performing them.

I wouldn't say they suck, I just would never want to buy it, nor would I want to participate in a thread to discuss it (hint hint).

Weird.

You mean you're against people trolling threads that they aren't really interested in making a proper contribution to?

Interesting....

In that case you should pick up Tabitha's Secret and Supernatural.

I'll continue to take my chances. Can't be any worse than actually listening to him.

Amateur.

And, of course, there's which 3 that are in question. I know you have Boulez and Karajan for the 6th, and they're both recordings.

[Agathon]

Amateur

My classical collection would own yours. It runs well into the thousands.

And you're a lightweight anyway, preferring the superficial emotionalism of Bernstein to the gravitas of a conductor like Barbirolli.

For the 6th I also have Barbirolli, Szell, and Wit (not bad for a cheapie). Szell is good, although it is a live recording with some coughing. I probably have another one that I've forgotten about (since a large chunk of my stuff is in storage at home).
