This has probably made you very closed minded when it comes to music
Yes indeed apart from the fact I don't actually like TL or Free much (or Bob Marley who he also sessioned with)... It just gives a bit of pedigree that's all. In a tin. With some nice dog biscuits.
I like Pearl Jam and still do so there. I will always wonder what the hype was about with the Stone Roses though. I'm sure people liked them just to try and be cool.
