I'm really suprised by Seb, didn't see them until 2001? I would've swear you were around during the TD period when I was still in my BJ meeting period but apparantly I was wrong.

Anyway, I was 12 when KTF was released loved it on MTV, bought the single In these Arms and just about or something later the Unplugged DVD and was in love.
At that time I lived with 3 sisters (incl myself & all in puberty, still have pity for my mom) and my mother and only heard Madonna & The bangles from my sisters, damn If I was your mother was the hardest thing I ever heard...

Went to a show that tour and travelled around for the TD tour (saw 14 gigs then) and was hooked untill Crush, that album + the 3 shows I went to that tour were dissapointing to me. I still get shivers when seeing a 93 or 95/96 show (even older shows) but just can't watch or listen to a full show after 2000 except one.... but I still consider myself a BJ fan.

I don't think Seb is in the minority if you mean as someone who became a fan in the 90's. Lets face it, the ones that became a fan in the early 80's either died or are a grandmother/father now. THe ones that became fans in the 00's never ''lived'' what happened in the 80's or 90's and therefore never get what some (the anti 00's) are saying as they don't have a real comparising, and you notice they have way different standards.
The ones in the 90's can go either way, the were too young for the 80's but therefore aren't a grandmother/fater or are still alive. I kinda believe they either love or hate the 00's. I saw many go stick by BJ during 97-00 period (td --> crush) but hooked off after crush or either bounce, so I guess the anti-00's are in minority but should be heard because there are more out there....

Edit: Ooh and I hated Always back then, I wanted everybody to hear Saturday Night but no-one was interested, school & sisters..... I was really frustrated by that, lol aah youth
