I remember having a similar reaction to Kylie Minogue's music video for The Locomotion back in 1988... There was just something about that Saucy Aussie that really got my attention.

I don't think any of us guys ever forget our first celebrity crush. And Gwen is quite a worthy one to have. :-)

I agree with you exactly. Everyone has their own ...

I agree with you exactly. Everyone has their own taste and their is great talent out there that is just not too well known, and you can't expect for a Dylan or Lennon to come around again because music evolves and it's a good thing that it does because we can't be fed the same music forever. Music is eclectic and there is something everyone can like and it is like that for a reason. No reason to have one genre of music because that's when music will go bad.

I don't think the Dylans and Lennons have gone away. They're just becoming harder to find, mostly because of MTV and the record companies' lack of promotion. I also don't think there's anything wrong with liking someone like Gwen and No Doubt. I think No Doubt is actually a very good band, musically.

There's a place in the world for all music, even the mindless pop stuff. We just have to listen to what we like and try to ignore what we don't. That's how I see things.

Oh and Layla, I defnitely agree with Jim Morrison, even I think he's sexy, haha.

Well Gwen has certainly turned from her roots in a rather disturbing way but I feel her old stuff with No Doubt was pretty good. I'm not ever going to compare it to Dylan or Lennon but it was good stuff. Even though I don't like her music anymore I still respect her for doing what she wants to do and whatever makes her happy. We also can't blame boy bands and such for ruining the music because society is the one choosing to listen to them. They have far greater options than that they just choose pop music, and I think if we were to look at bands degrading music I would put Emo bands before pop groups because they are the ones who claim they are punk yet they are not slightly. Pop bands realize they are pop and don't try to label themselves otherwise. Bands like My Chemical Romance, New Found Glory, and Hawthorne Heights are destroying the name of punk.

I understand why you like Gwen, I like her too. SHe's her own person - down to earth AND glamourous. Hard to pull off, I've never seen anyone else do that but it's because she doesn't try - she's just herself.

I don't listen to much ND but as far as people with class that I respect she's near the top on my list.

She grew up not far from where I live so I also feel a connection to her that way...

Now, who do I think the best looking musicians are? Michael Hutchens was the best looking, Jim Morrison...I guess I like dead guys. I'll get back to you on some living people soon.

Dude, I kinda lost some respect for you. I put Gwe...

Dude, I kinda lost some respect for you. I put Gwen, nsync(all boy bands), american idol, Christina, Brittany Spears, Good Charlotte, Blink 182 as the people who ruined music. There are no more Dylans, and Lennon's because of these people.

Sarah McLachlan is quite pretty and glamorous. She's as beautiful as her voice, that's for sure.
