Ahem. If anyone does mention Jarre, I jump in the discussion!! Yippee, here I 
come. Watch it down there (bump). Did I hit you, Kenneth? ;)
KN> As for Jarre (not Maurice, obviously)
Ah, one of Maurice's greatest mistakes: having a son that becomes more famous 
than him ;). I do like Maurice's music: Longest Day, Dr. Zhivago, Lawrence of 
Arabia, ... I even like Charlton Heston. Is something wrong with me? ;)
KN> I did consider including him in the cheese list
Can you please explain what cheese rock is? I never heard of the other bands 
you mentioned, and my dictionary has only one explanation of the word 
'cheese'. I think I get the picture more or less, but I don't see how JMJ 
would fit in it.

If you read my recent message about ProgSynth, you will certainly know my 
viewpoint on Jean-Mi: he's the greatest synth player ever. I don't think he 
is a real Rock musician, so that could explain why you put him in a 'border' 
category.
KN> There's a whole wide world of cheese out there.
Is this a quote from 'Wallace and Grommit'? ;)
