    And hey I just thought of another factor for these guys--how good are their
    videos. It doesn't fit into whether or not they're good musicians, but it
    definitely has an effect on their status as entertainers or as SUCCESSFUL
    musicians. Moby gives good video.

    I agree wholeheartedly. You get the total experience from the artist, this
    is the type of artist whom after seeing their show you go out of your way
    and tell your friends about. You get your money's and time's worth, and
    most of all get a good feeling inside. Much better than going, "yeah, I saw
    them the other night...they were okay..." (and how many times have any of
    you said that)?

    I think Moby's alright. But personally I think you're giving him more
    credit than he deserves...Don't you think all those blues singers he
    sampled should get the credit for the "catchy lyrics"? :)
