That is not true. There's a lot of people here that are friend enough 
for this discussion to introduce you to other musical styles. And I 
think they did. Someone also introduced you to organ music.

Probably long after the time when I was still listening to the radio 
regularly. I stopped at the rise of Hiphop and such, when the majority 
of 'songs' on the radio were performed by people that could not play an 
instrument or sing. So my knowledge of popular music is very sketchy 
after, say, 1990.

I see you resisted finding out who Hildegard was. ;)
