Technique is the decisive factor.

Well in that case - welcome   And...

Come in here dear boy - have a cigar. You're going to go far...

I didn't realize that I was ranting about any one particular band, or style for that  matter, and maybe I should have just said that I'm currently enjoying a CD from an unknown band. I'm not here to  'promote', but simply to help educate those around that they 'might' enjoy something I do from my part of the world. I've been listening to RP for about 3 years, and just never bothered to sign up/in, because I just knew someone would come along and tell me the ins/outs - it's a given with just about anything anymore having to do with being on line. Seems a guy can't even post a thought anymore without being told his thoughts are questionable, or heaven forbid, myself or anyone else for that matter might have an ulterior motive.
I used  to live for music, now it's just background stuff, ambient noise that helps get me through the day. It's one of the reasons I enjoy listening to RP. Non-stop, 24/7, no commercials... Another reason I listen to RP is because I found that I love the diversity in the music, just like I love the diversity of music in my part of the world on any given night. That said, I'm sorry if I broke a rule or whatever. I didn't realized that I had to be a troll on this site first, before a thought wouldn't be subjected to criticism.

OV's right - folks who suddenly show up raving about a band tend to be viewed with suspicion here - there's history of "street teams", shills and more trying to abuse the openness provided by the folks who run this place.

If you settle in for a bit first, get the feel of the place, rate stuff and maybe drop comments on a few songs, perhaps even contribute to the forums - who knows, you might get to like it. And you'd be less likely to be treated like a doorstepping evangelist trying to spread the word when we'd rather be sitting back listening to the music

Is this your one and only opinion?
