Oh, you're just being too much of a highbrow for your own good, Azeem. There's lot of 
disco music for instance that sucked but I couldn't help but like it just for the 
glitz/kitsch factor. By the same token, there are some cheesy Joni covers that are so 
awful, they make me laugh out loud and I LOVE them. Also, there are "artists" like 
Jandek, The Shaggs, Wesley Willis who put out just awful stuff, yet there's a real 
attraction I have to them. Like trying to figure out why they tried! :~)

Hope that helps.

btw, how's this for synchro? I'm playing my cd's in A-B-C order, and after Harris, 
Emmylou comes:

NP: P.J. Harvey, "Beautiful Feeling" (even though I like this CD, it's just sorta 
Patti Smith/Liz Phair/Kim Gordon all rolled up in a ball, so I don't see her as being 
much of an innovator)
