Am I a fan-girl??? I don't think so, I do know a LOT about certain bands and musicians...... but that is because of my work.
(I work for a label)
But other bands I like...... nah, I don't own complete (inc bootlegs etc) of anyone else, I might know a few snippets of info about their persoanl lives, but not much, and only bits I read in interviews/articles etc.
Nah, I don't think so.

(I am opinionated though....... does that count?)

Well...

Gentle Giant...

I own all of the eleven original albums, about ten or maybe more (haven't counted until yet) bootlegs, both DVD-Boxes, the double CD-Box "Under Construction" with unreleased material and the 4 CD-Box "Scraping The Barrel", I have read the entire booklets, the lyrics and most of the stuff on their Homepage, want to order the band's calendar...

So, am I a fanboy?

I guess yes.

But this band has something magic, I like their entire catalogue, there exists no song I do not like. Wink

I guess it is the loving playfullness that makes this band to such a special one for me. Smile

Any band you hop on airplane to go see you have to be a fan boy right?  Ermm But I don't own everything by Kansas and I don't care if I see them again.  Actually if I was a fanboy it would be to Kerry Livgren and whatever project he is doing.  Proto-Kaw's closest concert to me was 1500 miles away so flying was required. I know where he lives but that is because it is the same place he records and he puts that on his records and he wrote a book a long time ago so I know about certain aspects of his life.  I don't know his birthday. He does recognize us when he sees us and he is no longer afraid LOL
 
  But still yes...Embarrassed

I was a Supertramp fanboy back a few years ago. I have cutted down listening to them since I have so much other music to listen to right now though, but they still remains my favorite band.

I'm a bit of a fanboy where King Crimson and Robert Wyatt are concerned but I don't let it rule my life. Wink

Well, I guess I'm following in my father's footsteps... but we own every Marillion album, loads of live albums, sevaral bootlegged shows on CD & VHS, and three official DVDs. Still, I don't think I'm a fanboy... Fanboy just sounds so negative! I'm not really rabid or anything. The band just makes good music.

I actually read three books about Pink Floyd, including Inside Out.  I'm so ashamed.  At least it helped me to appreciate the music more.
