“De gustibus non disputandum.” If you liked them, and found them memorable, than they were for you. I did not.
I was much more active in SF Fandom back in the day, when the “New Wave” was still new, and still making waves. I even reveiwed books and movies for our local fanzine (the same way Harlan got his start). I recall not everybody agreed with my tastes then, either.
Yep, everyone likes different stuff. For example, you probably don’t care for Regency Romances ;-).
