That's not to say he doesn't compose, but I've never known his name mentioned in classical circles. I like Branca a lot, but he does seem to be more like a composed music for rock kids than bringing rock to classical (it was there already).

Anyway, in response to the question at hand, I've got plenty of mates who can't abide SY but really got off on Branca. It was me who loaned them said Branca, but still. You do all know that there are absolutely hundreds of thousands of people out there who can't abide SY, right?

i kinda mentioned that earlier.

and about the "hundreds of thousands of people out there who can't abide SY", well, most of them can't abide branca either, if they ever heard any.

you kinda answered the question of the topic.
