OK music aficionados, what do you think of the following proposition:

	One's reaction to a given album/song/group is determined 
	more by what one has heard or read about the
	album/song/group than by the actual music itself.

To what extent do you agree or disagree, and why.

    Examples to consider:

	A friend tells you group xyz is great.  You pay more attention 
	when xyz is played on the radio, at a party, etc.  You become 
	familiar with their music, and even grow to like it.

	You become aware that group xyz is "in".  (ditto)

	Substitute "lousy", "out" in above examples.
