I try to avoid hating people i don't know. It only leads to frustration, whiskey, cigarettes, clocktowers and high powered weaponry. and just as a small introduction of myself to you all - Whiskey Remorse is probably my favourite of all the Dels' songs.

There's plenty of room for all kinds of music and devotees. I think its just as cool that Leah and Kristy like what they like as it is that Nigel and Phil like what they do, and can you think of musical preferences that are any further apart than those four?? But they all can come together to discuss Del... well, that is fine. I must go off now to try to catch the MTV thing, nearly watched it the other day but didn't stick with it until the end. Thanks for letting us know about it, C.

I only know about 4 seconds of mmmBop, so I really can't make judgement, but I do own an old school hanson shirt (first album, long hair). being cool, my best friend dared me to buy it. Being extra cool, she makes me wear it. People often ask, "Are you really a hanson fan?" to which I answer "Would I have the shirt if I wasn't?" Most never think to assume "Yeah, you might". Where's the love?

Did you take a nasty pill on purpose? Oh, that's right. Canadaians can laugh at themselves a la the BNL. It's a good thing I had a few mai-tais before I left paradise or I might really be mad. >> Hi Kirsty, Nasty pills are compulsory when talking about Hanson I'm afraid! :>) Apologies if I got to you but don't take it personal. It'd be boring if we all thought the same. But this is a list for opinions and that was mine sorry in response to you declaring an album of their of the rock's greatest of all time. You'll look back in a couple of years time and laugh/cringe at this claim to yourself, believe me! I was joking too mind you. My humour can be an acquired taste but you'll get used to it. On the other hand, Hanson are definitely an acquired taste and I'll never get used to them. By the way, I also mentioned in that posting about Coldplay who I'd just seen play a dingey club in Cardiff and who I said seemed set to be huge. A week later, their single stormed in at no 4 in UK and and their debut album released today will be no 1 in UK by weekend. Great vocals (very Scottish sounding wouldn'tyou say?), fantastic guitar riffs, great melodies, the sort of material that should appeal to Dels fans. Don't say I didn't tell you.
