Ther...I have mixed feelings about these things too. There's the cynical side, which you discussed. But then there's also the side that says, "Well, if this is the only way some of these people can get turned on to good music, it's better than nothing."<BR/><BR/>But then I read with horror that the late Jeff Buckley's version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" recently shot to the top of itunes Most Downloaded song list because some bozo decided to cover it on American Idol. It really makes me think that most people have to be spoon fed. If you played this song for 99% of the people who downloaded it before it's use on Idol, they probably would have thought, "What's this crap?" But once it appeared on America's Most Beloved Show, everyone was like, "Oh, what a beautiful song!" Like that's what made it legitimate.
