Hey at least we weren't treated to classical music being the only
surviving legacy of 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries.  Part of my initial
dislike of the music was that I kept having flashbacks to the TV version
of "Fame".  But I would have been more disappointed if we'd been treated
to classic jazz.  Look at it this way, bad music still prevails in the
future. :)  Some things never change.

 Well said - and FWIW I really enjoyed the music in Walkabout. I enjoyed it
as B5 and as music. It didn't seem out of place at all. And added to
another excellent episode. Congrats! BTW, any chance of those lyrics?

 Just you lot see what he has planned for you for the rest of s3.
Definately scores well on the eek/wow scale.

 Eagerly awaiting s4 in the UK...

"But it *would* be nice to hear some Zeppelin, or Beatles, or Blues
Traveller, rather than semi-mainstream fare."

Yup.  Only problem...it costs an arm and a leg, and that's one limb more
than we can afford.
