His <I>Grace</I> is certainly the better and more important album, but my life has been influenced more by Weezer than by Buckley by far.David W.

However, I think the bands you note are the exception to the rule. I merely need to point to Vh1's I Love the Eighties and their collection of music videos of what songs were popular back then -- "Girls Just want to Have Fun" is number one (http://www.vh1.com/video/play.jhtml?id=1584357&vid=17530). Aaaaaand, didn't Bono have a mullet back then? It was the decade of big, dirty hair. Need I say more?<BR/><BR/>Then again, maybe I'm just a hater.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
