Did everyone catch the Emmy nominations? Quite a mix of old & new artists and music. Glad to see Carlos Santana may finally be recognized for his contributions and I have to admit I actually liked Cher's "Believe" - one of those songs I found myself humming this past summer a lot. And I will probably be criticized for saying this but I do like "The Backstreet Boys" and the other harmony type groups that seem to be so prevalent right now. Now, Ricky Martin. Sorry, my fingers just locked up. <g> Gary

Z, Sorry about the link. The New York Times can be a B when it comes to archiving their material. The article was in the 1/3/00 edition. Actually it was more a compilation of what these particular writers felt were the most "important" albums of the 20th century. Not really a top ten. I know the Stones were in the mix but I think it was "Beggar's Banquet" rather than "Exile on Main Street"....but I could be wrong. Dylan got a mention...I won't say which album, in case the resident Bobbyphile wants to take a guess. Interesting lyrics to your Christmas song. NL. I've got to admit that outside of an occasional channel flip over to MTV or VH1, I rarely listen to popular music anymore. I lost interest around the advent of the disco sound. I will say that the pitiful pleading tone of most popular ballads leaves me somewhat nauseated. This vocal style appears to have crept into the music scene around the mid 70's and has multiplied like a bunch of bunnies on Viagra :) I must be getting old?
