Okay...  Now I'm gonna get pissy.  I don't believe in the "selling out"
principle.  I didn't know of Clannad UNTIL I saw the Robin Hoods (and I think
that michael praed kicks jason connery's butt any day, thank you very much)
and from there I found both their music and enyas.  So if you define selling
out a change in their music to appeal to a more mass audience, then oh well.
without that, I would have never found "Siuil a Ruin" and other songs.  I know
that people get very attached to the music a certian way, but I don't fault
other bands for changing or expanding.  I'm a fan of celtic music, but it's
nice to hear something different, like the poppy changes that the Corrs are
doing, or even the Chieftans with...everyone.  

I'm wondering, and it's an honest question, if people call it "selling out"
because they don't like the changes, or because of the following of people
that generally arise from these pieces...
