>I liked BNL initially, until a Toronto lady I knew explained to me that they were completely over there barely after they started. She said Toronto music fans had already discarded them. And I listened to them again and could see what she meant.

I don't get that really. Why does it matter that they were "completely over?" If you like them, you like them. No? I don't care a whit if everyone else thinks they are passe, just what I like to listen to.
