Its all good. I never expect the younger generation to really know who the boys are. I mean....unless you can stand the drivel on pop rado, or like hearing the same note played over and over to some imecile screaming so that Bulgaria could hear him, you will never understand groups like Pink Floyd, Rush, The Yardbirds, The Doors.....heck even trying to explain the Police or Sting is mute point.

But - I dont think its really "acquired". My wife can't stand the guys, but its because a coupel friends of hers only played their cassettes when she was younger. Has nothing to do with Ged's voice. My wife is very supportive of my pursuits of music, just not that into the boys is all. My oldest daughter, however - if she don't stop "borrowing" my cd's......!!!!!!

My husband is a fan of Neil Diamond, and I think he acquired that from his parents.

I only liked ONJ in "Grease".

I probably also fit into the category "wife of a Rush fan". I'm starting to recognize a song or two if the CD is in the player in the car when I turn it on.
