what if you HONESTLY think people are being dumb and narrow-minded? what do you say? should you cloak your honest opinions behind a wall of winky faces?

like this:

wow, what a list. you guys like Underworld enough?

I'm with Holden, Adam and Myshkin on this (with a big to Duckie and his "ivory towers" - missed the point again, dear? ). Yes, of course, people with intelligence and a variety of musical tastes should be able to express those opinions on that, as Fish Boy says. But yes, of course, people on an Underworld forum are far more likely, in general, to pay attention to an otherwise obscure film sound track that would not necessarily have so much of an impact in the wider music world.

So yeah, of course the views expressed by Dirts are likely to be different from those overall. Does that mean that we are unintelligent? Or does it mean that we have a particular kind of musical taste that encompasses the creative work of the band we (presumably) support by our adherence to this forum?

This is not a poll of all music lovers everywhere. It is not even a poll of all dance music lovers everywhere. It is a poll of Underworld fans.

Nobody is asking you to cloak anything. Just don't expect people to bow down and say "Wow, my God. You are so right. I am so dumb not to agree with you. Jeez. I really must stop loving Underworld."

i don't think that anyone expected people to say that. just in some peoples opinion (and i'm included), having that ost up at #4 is a bit crazy (i can see how it happened) but there is just so many completely fantastic albumns that were put out this year that should be ahead of it

wooohoooo

[gambit]

You're all idiots for not voting for Daedelus!!!!!1!!1! My opinion is correctly stated!11!!!

[patrick]

i never really gave daedelus a chance, but my bro said it was his 2nd fav next to the new roots... that's pretty high praise so i have been meaning to give it a chance

I dunno why I'm wasting my time but it must be wonderful to be able to dismiss the content of what is said based on an infantile mental projection of who you think the person is that is making the point. But there really isn't any need for you to stretch your little mental muscles to understand that as, oh fuck, it's Myshkin, isn't it? Swatting flies is a very tedious occupation, don't you think? Could end up making one think one is something special based on very paltry achievements. Hopefully you don't take that the wrong way, as I'm not suggesting that responding to you is the intellectual equivalent of swatting flies, or that, to pick a random phrase out of thin air, you're "thick as shit" or anything like that. No, I've enormous respect for your wit and imagination and unrivalled ability to place small words in some kind of order in the heroic attempt to make sentences that convey some kind of meaning, however insipid that meaning may be.
Looking forward to your placing of small words in some kind of order.

oh my god, why does anyone care what i say? i'm not even here half the time. all this ivory tower talk, etc etc, i don't actually care if you love the u/w ost. go and listen to whatever floats your boat.

albums suck ass anyway - buy singles its easier and less hassle...

can we have a best 'singles' poll next year....

(btw - i didn't vote in the poll - mainly because of my opening comment and as the self dubbed 'numberonesuperfan' of Underworld wouldn't have voted for it as an album in my top ten had i bothered to... just to clear that up)
