In a previous post, I commended listeners on YouTube for opening themselves up to music they hadn't heard before.
One thing I'm glad I haven't seen so far: I have yet to see anyone whose unfamiliarity with a band strains credibility. So far, I haven't seen anyone say, "Today, we're going to sample a track from a group called The Be-AT-les; I guess that's how it's pronounced. Pardon me, I suppose it's pronounced, 'The BEAT-els. That makes more sense. Not having heard their music before, I don't have much to go on. I'm guessing, though, with that pun on a bug's name, they must have been a novelty act. The title of their song, 'Nowhere Man,' sounds awfully negative, but I'll reserve judgment until I've heard it. Or, is it even a song? Maybe it's a monologue about a man who lives a downtrodden existence and has no hope. I guess I'll find out..."
