(TV) Vocals & Vox Populi

["Casey, Leo J" <Leo.J.Casey@Volpe.dot.gov>]

Let's face it, one of the problems TV--and some other 
artists--face is that most people (i.e., the general 
album-buying/downloading public) when hearing a new song 
(or even a not-brand-new song), listen more for the vocals 
and not the music itself. 

E.g., my sister-in-law (whom I dearly love) compares every 
new song to how its vocals compare to those of her favorite 
artist[?], James Taylor.

Which is a shame, because while "Adventure" is (or at least has often been)
underrated, I definitely believe that "Dreamtime" and "Flash Light" are
better, and "Tom Verlaine" is at least equal to it (and the reunion record
is close).  However, it must be said that...

*grits teeth*

...no matter how great those records are and how much I wish more people had
heard them and agreed with me...

*grits teeth more*

...MARQUEE MOON is still the best record of the batch and always will be.
Sometimes, about some things, conventional wisdom holds.
