Hmmmm....thinking about your statement Keyser, is that really true? Or are alot of these bands being pushed my the record companies/MTV/radio/etc..
When the new Disturbed came out, I dug the one song on it, and wanted to check them out, hoping that the rest of the album was like that. Nope, it SUCKED. Same for alot of other bands that got pretty big. They get overhyped and get played alot, so people are "tricked" into thinking they're good because they are played so often. That is why I hate listening to the radio. About 80% of the music I listen to wouldn't be played on the radio. And out of that 20%, another 10% they will only play 1 or so songs off their albums because they just aren't "commercially sellable". Even take a band like Radiohead. I love them, but they just don't play much of their stuff on the radio. How many singles did Amnesiac have? 2? How about Kid a? 2? 3? There's alot of other AMAZING music on those albums, however it's not "catchy" enough for radio play. I think radio/MTV sucks the big fat dick because they push bands that don't deserve to be pushed. They tell people that you only need 1 good song to make it in the music biz. Thats bullshit. Fuck that, and fuck them.
