Okay you have a point, of course, it is my opinion. But it's not "just" my
opinion, it's one shared by hundreds of thousands of people who bought
those albums and supported those records far in excess of Hive or bands of
the like. It's also the opinion of many journalists, record reviewers and
magazines--do I need to start quoting how many times Massive Attack and
Portishead show up in the 100 best albums lists...I don't see Hive in
there. Anyway I'm bailing out of this thread. I made my point and hopefully
the people who are going to get it, got it. People who really want to argue
that Hive is as musically important as Massive Attack I just have no real
response for. You enjoy it, let that be enough.
