This about sums it up for me too. When he posted his letter about leaving Spock's Beard on their website, I must admit it seemed a bit disingenuous to me.

For him to annoy me I would have to know him personally....which I don't, so he does not annoy me. I don't think he is awesome, so I picked other as I think he is very good at what he does.

"Oh by the way do you remember that song we've been working on, "Dance With The Devil"? It just doesn't seem to sing that well. So I was thinking Duel With The Devil instead. It just sings better, man. Duuuuuueeeel with the devil. Ha, man, it felt so cruel to sing it as Daaance."

I like the guy, but I can see how certain people might find him annoying.

As I don't listen to lyrics, I don't care about the content. The music is awesome, and I like his voice.

Neal is nothing but pure genius. The religious aspect to his music makes me like it even more. Sola Sciptura is one of the greatest pieces of music ever written.

How could someone be annoying if they are following their heart?? |
It's really not very hard...The most infuriating people are not the ones who are trying.
I dislike him for all of the above, except I don't mind his religion. Even though he's a heretic Protestant. ;-)

Neal Morse is awesome!!!!
The only album where he got really cheesy and it bothered me was ? Live.
Other than that, there's nothing wrong with Neal Morse.
Great songwriter, great underrated voice, and proficient on every instrument.

Neal Morse annoys the heck out of me sometimes with his over-the-top religious talk.
Still, he's truly a musical genius, and I appreciate him as such. Question mark is one of my top albums.
