I almost added a paragraph about Brand X. Feel free to list Brand X songs. I own one Brand X album (Unorthodox Behaviour). I've heard stuff from most of the others. Hasn't changed my opinion of him. Maybe I'm not paying close enough attention.

my problem really hinges on the fact that he seems to be a fairly straight ahead kind of player. I've never really noticed him doing anything out of the ordinary. he doesn't strike me as a creative player. if there are good examples to show otherwise, I'd like to focus on those.
