[QUOTE="MedicMike66"][QUOTE="Def_Jef88"][QUOTE="MedicMike66"][QUOTE="Def_Jef88"][QUOTE="MedicMike66"] Some of the most talented and unique bands out there playing these small clubs because they love music and people will never sell as many records as fergie.

That in no way proves that a band with mainstream success automatically sucks. Some get lucky, but not often. Most bands achieve success because they're profitable, or change their sound or style to try and cash in on what's trendy at the time... whether it's rap/rock, new wave, pop punk, or goth. MOST modern day music is no different than any other device that comes out of a factory.
oka dude, whatever :roll:exactly.
Pretty much every genre has its time when its popular. Going by your logic, Alice in Chains being mainstream during a time when grunge was popular can only be attributed to its profitability...hmm...
See. I knew you'd understand. I really doubt Alice In Chains would have achieved success without the guise of the grunge scene. As much as the Sex Pistols sucked and pailed in comparison to acts like The Clash, Ramones, and The Damned--they sold records becuase of the punk scene flaunted by the media, and at the time music journalism (no MTV).
It's true that the artists that lead those scenes were somewhat innovative and fresh (for the time), but it's a rehash of music that's been done a hundred times over, and by better bands.
