I still laugh when I see "Polyphonic Spree", thinking of the uproar their Upwithpeopleish "Hold Me Now" caused in the original MPR forums. Great memories!

Oh? I haven't heard about the "Hold Me Now" hullabaloo. I'll ask around.

Hah! I remember that. There was a lot of polarization. People either hated it or loved it. AuntieSmedley always (and still does) refer to it as the "Up With People" song because that's what it sounds like. Yep, that was one heckuva fight.
