But there's no way to determine a good name.  Misc is a good way of covering
all kinds of music that some consider rock; from heavy metal to 70's 
progressive to punk to Buddy Holly to modern top-40.  You create r.m.rock,
you create "that doesn't belong here" flames.

But we've discussed this 7 ways from Sunday.  Unless I see a call for this
again, I'm not going to get into this discussion.

					to the relief of many, i'm sure
