Opinions, beliefs, likes or dislikes... it's what makes us humans... and that's fine. Knowing how best to express those opinions without getting snarky is the difficult part.

I suppose I would rather read the lyric while hearing the melody and vocal... but I prefer to hear the song before watching a video. My thinking is simply that the song should be able to stand on it's own two legs without all the distractions (and some of the videos can be quite entertaining or good)... 'cause I grew up in the era when only radio stations were available to us poor schnooks.

Interesting topic, Mike... and some good reading, too. Thanks, ----Dave
