I think the reply could have been, "well if you don't like it, don't listen", Avian - not that record-reviewer avant-garde speak like "minimalist, sculptured" etc. Come on! The guy doesn't like it! Why do either of you argue about that? I don't like it at all, personally - but I don't begrudge anyone else's right to.

Ummm... like this previous post?

Except that Philip Glass is world reknown as a musical genius. But if you don't like him, that's certainly your perogative. There are certainly other people out there who would agree with you.

"If you don't like it, don't listen to it" goes without saying, even though I said it above. What I'm trying to do is give some background on Philip Glass, especially if someone isn't familiar with him at all. He IS a minimalist... he is most definately avant-garde - he's also a film composer, 66 years old, yadda yadda... What harm does saying all of that do? It wouldn't be much of a conversation if I just had said "tough!"
