Obviously anything Mr. Palena doesn't know about (in his limited travels
through the Led Zeppelin section of his local record store) is garbage.
If "nobody" has ever heard of them, why do people respond to articles about
such artists in numbers?  YOU haven't heard of them, and that bespeaks, not
the lower quality of the artist in question, but the lower level of knowledge
that you possess on the subject of music in general.

Of course, because it contradicted your holy personal taste.  I think the
first five words of this last extract (alone, by themselves) sums up the
truth about you and your opinions, Palena.
