Though not necessarily more beautiful.  Seriously, it seems to me the
point of this exercise is to throw out an artist one despises and dare
anyone to find artistic merit in it.  Granted Ray Stevens is eons above,
say Journey on the artistic scale.  I however, have never liked him, and
I particularly hate his novelty songs like Ahab the Arab and the Streak.
 By throwing his name out, I *want* to hear defenses of his work.  Give
me a reason to appreciate him, as I haven't found one yet
