If you like Duran Duran, do not buy their new album. It's almost as bad as their Thank You album from the mid 90's. Their Astronaut album from 2004 was great, had the rhythm of their old stuff wi...

"Why they continue to change things around from album to album is beyond me. They need to stick to what people want to here. Take your creative nonsense elsewhere.." good lord, have you ever tho...

My point is, why would you divert from what makes you successful? They went in a good direction with their last album. Now this one has a few good tracks, but it is over the top with some hip hop...

You have a point, but so does Alex. He's looking at it from the perspective of an artist who creates art (or music) motivated by creativity and love for the art, or out of personal expression. ...

I think you are wrong on the point that a band should not care about pleasing the fans. They make their money off of John Q. Public. They should always have in their mind that they need to be loy...

Look at the world in disbelief
You used to follow - now you lead
College has enlightened you
And you are proud to be different
And like different bands - different types
You ain't nobody's fool
It's like certain bands remind you of someone you hated
'Cause they didn't wear the right clothing
And there's only one true fashion
And alot of the bands on the college charts are great bands
Until they get signed. Then you hate them
It's such bull*** - you used to love them you hypocrite

Know it all, know it all - did you really listen to that song?
Could you ever write what you call wrong?

I remember you and I listening to bands that we liked
Only the songs mattered to you
But now you're a D.J. and preaching that hype
"Corporate Rock Sucks"
"You know, college radio enlightens you"
It's supposed to serve as a means to expose new bands
Without prejudice, but it makes no sense
Safe harbor for the underground
'Til the alternative becomes the popular sound
The bands are good 'til they make enough cash
To eat food and get a pad
Then they're sold out and their music is cliché
Because talent's exclusive to bands without pay

Know it all, know it all - Did you really listen to that song?
Could you ever write what you call wrong?
Know it all

fans are the ones that need to support bands they like. a band should have appreciation for it's fans, but they feel like taking their music in a different direction, fans need to respect that. if they don't like it, they don't have to listen to it. but don't be gay about it.
