I totally agree with you 100%.

But as for me, I cannot stand 95% of the crap that is put out there.

You want good music, start getting into music around your area. It opens a whole new world. The majority of bands I listen to aren't on a major record label and there is more artistic value, creativity and heart. Diamonds in the rough.
 
O.O


in all seriousness, Views on music change over time. As successful as it was, i can't say blink182 was a bad band. Infact, i liked their music when i was younger. Think of it this way: Are you listening to the same bands religiously now that you were listening to say 10 years ago? I'd venture that you aren't. If you are, you're probably much older than i'm aiming this question at any how. When i was in middle school and the like i listened to blink182, stabbing westward, metallica, and just whatever kind of fit that mold. Over the next 8 or so years i've listened to all types of music religiously and have fallen off each of those types in due time.


tl:dr it happens, music will change. You probably won't get what your kids listen to, but try any way. You may like it.

Is it worth getting? I haven't been able to make myself buy it yet. The single is pretty rad.
 
I would recommend it for sure. If you dont feel like paying for it, I have it downloaded and could send you the album over Xfire or e-mail or something if you want.
 
There are some bands that have stuck with me from 10 years ago.

Tool for example. I used to LOVE tool back in middle school and highschool. I don't really like that type of music anymore, but I respect them. They are really good at what they do. I feel the same way about Metallica. I never really liked them (sorry all you M-fans), but I respect what they did and have done because what they did was new, innovative and they obviously have skill. It's true art(music = art).

Now look at bands like Simple Plan, Good Charlet(however it's spelled), Sum 41, Nickelback (sorry had to throw the worst bad ever out there). What have they done that's so new, so great? It's all crap, especially the latter band... I honestly cannot tell the difference between their songs... I don't know how they sell records.
 
Alright, I bought it. Got it and their greatest hits since an ex bandmate stole that album from me. I was PISSED.

Bands come and go, that's the industry. Pop bands have a shelf life. This thread was not to bash pop music, it was to bash the iTunes tool who puts Green Day, Simple Plan, Sum 41, or Blink182 anywhere close to the same level as bands like the Ramones, SP's, the Clash, Black Flag or the like. That's like iTunes releasing a metal essentials and including Sabbath, Motorhead, 'tallica, Maiden...... and Limp Bizkit. I'd burn Apple down if that happens.

And my kids are going to listen to Metallica. They may grow up damaged but what the hell. :P

aww, dont be hatin' Limp Bizkit. True they wouldnt fit in that category, but theyre not bad.
 
All I have to add to this thread is that "Clowns Are Experts (At Making Us Laugh)" by the Vandals is one of the greatest songs ever, and I'm in debt to you, masterofpuppets, for reminding me of it. I need to find Slippery When Ill in mp3 format.

I download what isnt in my top favorites list, because there's no use buying a whole album for one song.

actually...this is the definition of a pirate...one who downloads illegally for free what is meant to be purchased. it doesn't matter if it is one song or 1000, it's still illegal. if you just want one song, go buy it from a legal site that allows single song purchases. attempting to justify stealing by saying "well, i buy what i really like" just doesn't work. sorry.

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.

you just sugessted for someone to use different means of downloading music, your not different from any other of us here.
 
I never said Im different now have I? If you want so say something about me, at least make sure its correct. Im pretty sure that Im not the only person here who downloads songs for free. Also, Im pretty sure that you guys have taken songs from your friends and put them on your pc or mp3. Thats also pirating then. In short, dont make it seem like Im the only one getting free songs sometimes, because there are a lot of other poeple doing it too. So dont label me and the only bad guy around here. You know its not true.
