*start rant*

I was roaming iTunes looking for something to buy. I was checking out the new Offspring album and I saw a link to "iTunes essentials - Punk". I clikc it just out of curiosity. I'm expecting the usual - Dead Kennedys, Ramones, Pistols, Pennywise and the like. I'm hoping theres some some obscure stuff too - Vandals, Xray Spex, stuff like that. Mixed in with some real good stuff is...

Sum41
Blink182
AND SIMPLE PLAN?!?!?!?!?

0_o

Really? How is Simple Plan anywhere close to punk?! You might as well include Avril Lavigne in that list if you're going to do that. Gg iTunes.

small rant, but i can see your anger. for a while now, i have not been able to start itunes at all. recently, itunes got a 7.7 update and even after installing that i still cant get it to run. i double click the icon, and the hourglass shows, but nothing shows up. but it does run in tsk manager so i dunno.
 
I generally avoid any of the essential mixes honestly. I don't use it for rock/punk ect but with trance/techno and the like all of the essentials are the same for a while.

I find i have better luck with user created "iMixes"
 
iTunes is a joke in general, stop using it if you know what's good for you.

It'd get a 1/5 instead of a 0/5 from me if it weren't for the backdoor.

i lol'd

But on a more serious note, I haven't really had any problems with iTunes at all. Of course I've never really done anything too different with it, just use it for a simple music library and iPod syncer.
 
Yeah yeah, I forgot that torr. arent allowed on the forums. Just the same, they are much better than iTunes will ever be. That, cannot be change.
 
I seriously fear the next generation's taste in music. I really do.

You want some real punk, all you need is The Clash.

And for today's music, Blink 182 is far from punk, it's craptastic. A word doesn't exist for how bad bands like Simple Plan are. Listen to Against Me! Everything before As the Eternal Cowboy, sadly they sold out after that album. But Crimes as Forgiven By and Reinventing Axl Rose will forever be awesome albums.

Do what I do, have a friend that works at a small record store. He lends me cd's to put onto my computer then my ipod and I give the cd back to him (the store).
 
@ blackjoker, i suggest you stop now. there are alot of people who hate pirates, im not saying im one of them, but we do have musical artists who want to make it big in this clan and pirating isnt helping them.

I didn't really catch this part of the forum... probably got deleted.

But I will say this, before anyone gets mad at me. I strongly support local music, most my close friends are a large part of the Milwaukee scene. But there is a difference between buying from bands that are signed to labels like Virgin or whatever and smaller bands. The majority of a band's money comes from shows/concerts anyways. I'm at a show/concert atleast once a week.
 
Yeah, Beta, you should know bands make money off concerts, not really off cds. I do however not appreciate the fact that you labeled me as a pirate when I do buy cds from bands I really like. Avenged Sevenfold and Disturbed being a few of them. I download what isnt in my top favorites list, because there's no use buying a whole album for one song.
 
That is true. So then why all the hate for new generation music tastes? Im still only into oldschool rock and alternative, but still.
