If we all liked the same exact stuff, we'd be boring people.

exactly! btw rush is not good hahahah

brotherman Jul 12, 2007

See Rush is a good example. I love them, but I know a lot of people don't. Same difference with Indie. But in Rush's case, they at least play like a normal rock group, except Geddy Lee has an ex...

this comment kind of kills your whole argument. you can't argue both sides! a lot of indie bands have charted. Like that one song by the plain white t's "hey there delilah", I would say they w...

Wait...wait....wait... "At one time they were Indie". You just killed your point. Take your ignorant label someplace else.

rocksupastar Jul 13, 2007

how is that ignorant? Take any band... any one... if they have several cd's or records out. Listen to the first one... then listen to the rest, VERY VERY VERY rarely do they ALL sound the same, ban...

Rush has changed their style over the years, so I know what you are saying. I'm not sure what exactly I need to educate myself in. I didn't know there were classes on listening to music. All I'm...

"I would say it's pretty ignorant to say Spoon for example, is better than U2." WHY IS THAT IGNORANT?!?! just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean it's wrong or right. how could you poss...

hahhaha. It's like trying to teach the Truth to a so-called "Born-Again Christian." If you've had that experience, you know what I'm talking about. The conversations will go on for ages upon a...

OMG i have. SO annoying and its SO sad that you show them scriptures that're SO simple and they dont see it. you jsut want to kick them sometimes. lol

brotherman Jul 13, 2007

Ok, this is not that kind of argument. My argument was that mainstream is more popular and has better bands than Indie. You guys say no. So it's like saying there's a guy in the minor leagues of...

Would you say William Hung has talent? Curious. Let me refresh memory with this vid --

By no surprise he didn't make it through Idol. But he actually was signed onto a label based on that performance and made an album. "The album has sold approximately 200,000 copies and peaked in the top 50 of the U.S. Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart.

To promote his album, Hung performed before an audience of nearly 20,000 during half-time at a Golden State Warriors game on April 6. Several of his songs reached the top 10 on Apple's iTunes charts, and the album reached #3 on Amazon.com's sales rankings."

This just proves that the music biz is complete fluke sometimes and sometimes more about the biz than about the music, especially when it comes to mainstream.

I think U2 has talent and I like them. I think Rush has talent but I don't them. William Hung's talent was to sing no greater than a cracky voiced drunkard at a kareoke bar, but having an expert marketer, marketing that as his Shtick. And fooling America into making him a rubbish singing Rich man. More comedic than musical really. But, I'd feel like I was scammed if I caught myself in the shoppes buying his album.
