Nah. I don't know anyone who likes Ani except me (and the thousands of people who show up at her concerts). None of my friends or acquaintances do, and I haven't heard any board members second my emotions.
I have only been listening to her for about seven years, but she is one of the most remarkable women I have ever encountered. For those who have never heard her or would like to give her a listen, the CD I'd recommend first is "Not a Pretty Girl," though "Dilate" is my favorite. (I think they are both palatable for first-time listeners. Ani has a strange thing she does with her voice, and I think you have to really like her to like when she plays with her style.)
Give her a listen.
