I saw that, and considering the reactions, i guess it succeeded pretty well at that. Furthermore, I wouldnt worry about imposing your taste if I were you, since it's not obligatory to vote (and to some extent all polls are a reflection of the poll starter's taste..)

Anyway, good going kyjo, you're putting in quite an effort here!

Thanks, Klaze. I appreciate it.

Yes, it's true, I'm not a reliable listener, but I'm glad I'm not. I'm glad that I've constantly listened, analyzed, and ultimately found out why I dislike Delius. It wasn't an easy task and it took some critical thinking, but I think you're off the mark in saying that I would 'throw Delius under the bus.' That's a bit extreme, but I suppose many here may think of my 'change of heart' was extreme. Either way, it shouldn't be something to criticize me about. I listen to music I enjoy and if I don't enjoy something I at least find out the reasons why I don't enjoy the music. I simply don't write off a composer without some kind of experience. At least I'm experiencing music that's out of my comfort zone and I'm constantly trying to work in new composers into my listening. I have a passion for this music and I think this supersedes any missteps I may or may not take along the way.

But what do you care, really? I'm just an 'anti-Bach' guy who should really learn how to be more 'reliable' with my likings. Thanks for the pep talk, Dad.

You're too young to be one of my adult children.
