An Explanation.

So, over the next six weeks in a series that most likely will go on until the end of the year, I'll go over a few categories of popular artists that might be either crapped on (In Defense Of), overrated (which speaks for itself), or as good as most people would say they are (The Correctly Rated). Ultimately, you might throw in some discussion on why you enjoy these artists. Or maybe it's just a good excuse for you to send hate mail (trirby@bama.ua.edu).

Either way, on Monday the madness begins with the most defensive of the categories, a session of In Defense Of. Next week will cover artists and the week after will cover albums that might either be unheralded or vastly underrated. So otherwise, more fun for everyone.
