Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
That was me asking about The Killers. I think I'll have to pick that one up. I bet my local music shoppe has it on sale.
While I love the song "Special K," I have not liked any other Placebo songs I have heard. I find the singer's voice nearly intolerable.

If you have iTunes already, there's a store link in the left-hand menu.
Ah-ha! I knew there was something basic I was missing.

But but but ... nah, I've heard that from other people, too. I still think they're wonderful.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Wait! So all this time (okay, about forty minutes) that I've been thinking "ooh, I like that song, can't wait to get the remix" I ALREADY HAVE IT?
One of the nice things about being dumb and oblivious is that you can be pleased by the same things over and over again.

Oops, I forgot about Placebo's cover of "20th Century Boy." Make that two songs by them I like.
Crap, next thing you know, I'll love his voice!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I hate to say this, but I do sometimes feel like Hec's thing is liking stuff very few people listen to anymore, or have heard at all. Which I respect, since I have my own tendencies to adore the obscure. But Archies love is not mainstream in 2004. If he wrote a book about 3-11, that might make your case :-).
First of all, not offended. Second, the whole second book is based on Joe's assertion that it's SO FUCKING VAST it's hard to get a handle on it. Lots of stuff gets lost.
Now my taste is really incredibly sweet toothed, riff happy and funky monkey. In short, almost everything I listen to is accessible. I may refer to some obscure things, but it's not because they're obscure. It's more because I've got a lot of music and have been listening to it for a long time, so my newer discoveries are going to be less obvious.
As Joe also noted, when you've been following music for a long time you wind up having to make choices to deal with the vastness. As a practical matter, it's simply easier for me to discover music that interests me by going back historically. There are trails to follow, and writing and reviews. Whereas new releases haven't been vetted by time, and right-now reviews are too bound up with marketing and career expectations (for that particular band) to be as useful to me.
But like Joe, I value this thread precisely because people are listening to new stuff and I get exposed to genres outside my usual range.
And as much as I ragged on Stone Temple Pilots, I know some day I'm going to pick Vatican Gift Shop out of a discount bin because I suspect the guitarist had a knack for power pop hooks disguised as grunge. I'm always willing to revisit my opinions.
Blur crushes Pulp like a teeeeny tiny little champagne grape.
Best Bowie: I think I like Aladdin Sane best right now, though I'm also very fond of Hunky Dory.

Y'all are crazy. Station to Station is the best Bowie. At least in terms of listening to the whole album.

Wha?!!1! Aladdin Sane has "Panic in Detroit" and "Cracked Actor" and "Watch That Man" all on the same album. To which I can only amend....Dude.
