i disagree, however i dont regard those people as artists, just part of the money men being attentive towards the females......after all bands like those you mentioned are catered towards females too, i personally saw this when i went to cd:uk, the amount of screaming ladies made me :sick:

ofcourse its about the money.....

its a matter of taste all in all, i like U2 however i dont like coldplay, im not an avril fan anymore, but support greenday.

its all about taste and whatever one individual likes is only a concern to him or her, predominantly these days people dont care if the artists wrote the song or the music, its all about the sound, because if it sounds good it will sell.

However even that is changing, recent boy bands (busted, McFly) are being given guiters to try and give them more credibility which has become a required trait to be succesful as the young audience like to appear to be listaining to 'real' and 'quality' music. Although the only problem is that these bands write meanless and stupid lyrics. While the music is manufactured to sound additive.

Thankfully bands such as U2, Coldplay and so are still around also due to online downloads older music is selling a lot more to. I discovered Dire straitrs thanks to the west wing & iTunes :D

yup - Dire Straits at the old Deptford Albany, was a very good night , indeed, :tu: ;)

In the mainstream there are a large amount of artists who write their own music. Only those at the peak of the industry are likely to get others to write their music. If they were not at the top the record companys would nnot bother with them

I heard brothers in arms playing at the end of The west wing season 2 (Where the President is walking to the press confrence to say if he will run for re-election or not) and thought it was a great song.

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many differents suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

Great Stuff :tu:

In a recent interview she discusses her local pizza establishment....

Quote:

However, while that pizza is no longer Avril's cup of tea, she has good memories of La Pizzeria. She explained: "I think it was in Rolling Stone magazine, they asked what I missed about Napanee and I said La Pizzeria and now, like, their business has like skyrocketed.

She just can't, like, help living up to her, like, stereotype of always, like, saying "like", like.

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads

i dont quite see why anyone should be making fun of someones vocational habits, not everyone can string sentences together efficiently, it does not make them any less of a person.

its what they do in their respective careers that counts.

an opinion is valid, everyone has the right to expres theirs, if she doesent like a particular crowd then its up to her, your criticism is pointless in my view.

anyway im sick of talking about this as its just petty in my view.

Yes she has the right to an opinion like anyone else, but if she will criticise a section of society without even knowing anything about them other than what they wear, then she can expect the same right back!

Re: MERGED - All Avril threads

Either way she is kinda cute, I was asked to get a few wallpapers by a mate on dial up and make a disk out of them. May go listen to a few tracks of her albums.
