I've also tried to spread the sonic gospel over the years, and it usually doesn't work out. Once or twice, it has, and it was very gratifying. Those people may have never heard SY otherwise.
I guess SY just isn't for everyone. The fact that they sounded so unlike anything I had ever heard was a big part of their intial appeal to me. That may be the same reason other people can't grasp them.
Maybe it's for the best. Besides the Beatles, how many bands have made great, innovative music with mass appeal?
