The Killers - Human

For some reason the Killers never fail to produce a piece of music I don't enjoy. Not to the extent that Radiohead manage, but there's something about the Killers that, despite at times their music clearly lacking some quality or class, I still enjoy it. Bit of a mystery but who cares, great song.

You take that back!! :(

[terrier 4 life]

Hmm, I never used to particularly like Killers until I saw them live... they were unbelievable, now I love virtually everything I've got from them.

Erm, a bit of Bloc Party, the Subways, A7X and probably another go at the TV On The Radio album tonight for me I think.

[thersonli1keano]

You take that back!! :(
Okay, very good song, would be great with some god damn guitar.

Also, I'm not sure if the lyrics are 'Are we human, or are we denser?' or 'Are we human, or are we dancer?'

Both make sense to me with what I take the songs meaning to be, but I really would prefer it to be denser..

[Grizfoot]

I'm guessing most of you will have already heard this but for thoose of you haven't.

MGMT - Kids (Soulwax Remix)

I'm not usually a great fan of remixes but this one is rather good.

I thought it was dancers :o

Could be the reindeer, or could be another meaning to dancer hah..

It's a big track, even though it's not as good (especially the lyrics) compared to songs in the past, it is similar to the style of Hot Fuss.

I reckon it's imagery that Flowers has used and not to be taken literally, most likely as the lyrics speak of being released or giving up:

"platform of surrender"
"cut the cord"
"close your eyes, clear your heart"

Being released is to cease to be human, because he's died (either literally or he feels he's lost something), "eyes closed, cleared heart".

If his ceasing to be human is not taken literally it is perhaps referring to losing his human qualities and being taken in by a money making, corporate agenda, or a "dancer", a puppet held by strings, or by "cord".

[tottivillarossi]

I interpreted the lyrics to that song as being to do with faith. 'platform of surrender' surrendering your heart to God etc. But I like your's more.

Aye, the gunshots probably make the chorus.

[ACM]

Aye, the gunshots probably make the chorus.There's no official storyline to that chorus, but the way I interpreted it was that someone went into a shop with a gun, shot the owner and then nicks the money out the till, hence the cash register sound.

I don't know whether anyone thought differently to that.

Is so it's a pretty damn catchy song.

New Order—Power, Corruption & Lies

I got it free from today's issue of The Times. I meant to buy Tuesday's as well as it came with a copy of Joy Division's Closer.

The Rolling Stones—Exile on Main St.

The Stones at their best? For me, personally, it's either this or Aftermath.

[Ice Cube]

Yes, it's an outstanding song in my opinion.

If it's the one I'm thinking about, where it's a girl and she's in a burger van thing, then it's absolutely rubbish imo. Soooo annoying.

EDIT: DJ Tiesto version of LoveStoned (L)

I don't like it that much, Kings of Leon were better after their first two albums, when the music was raw and energetic. That's when I luckily got to see them. :D Since then, with there attention to fame rather than the music, they've went downhill in my opinion.

[Jimmy Jazz]

Am I the only one who doesn't like Sex On Fire?
No.

For people who are into the Kings of Leon's sound, though, I'd recommend Creedence Clearwater Revival and Alberta Cross.

I've always preferred The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, personally.

Nah, my name comes from a Clash song.

I wouldn't say I'm a big fan of jazz, but it's definitely something I'm going to look into a lot more, and Miles Davis seemed like the logical place to start. I'd say I'm pretty big on the blues. I mean, a lot of my favourite music comes from the '60s (The Doors, the Stones etc.), which is very blues-influenced. So in that sense I've been into it for a while. It's only been over the last few months I've been listening to Delta blues singers like Robert Johnson and Blind Willie McTell though.

Muddy Waters, Son House, Howlin' Wolf are all great aswell. Then theres John Lee Hooker who's more modern. And BB King for some Electric Blues. Blues clearly greatest music of all time, spawned the rock genre.

If you aren't already acquainted with them, I'd familiarize yourself with the CBGB's scene and 1967's Summer of Love—which is, in my opinion, the greatest ever year for music.

[Winning Days]

If you aren't already acquainted with them, I'd familiarize yourself with the CBGB's scene and 1967's Summer of Love—which is, in my opinion, the greatest ever year for music.

After checking out 1967's Summer of Love, found some albums which are supposed must-buys:

The Beatles – Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band

Jimi Hendrix – Are You Experienced?

The Doors – The Doors

Jefferson Airplane – Surrealistic Pillow

Cream – Disraeli Gears

The Monkees – More of the Monkees

The Byrds – Younger Than Yesterday

The Moody Blues – Days of Future Passed

The Kinks – Something Else by the Kinks

Which of the selection do you reckon I really should buy? I guess the Doors self-titled album will be a must. ;)

The Velvet Underound - The Velvet Undergound and Nico was released in 1967 as well. Didn't realise there was that many brilliant albums from the year.

[Jimmy Jazz]

I'd say Sgt. Pepper, The Doors and Disraeli Gears are 'must-buys'.

For The Kinks, however, I'd go a year later and buy 1968's The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society.

I'm not a big fan of The Moody Blues, really. For me they crossed the line from 'psychedelic' to 'progressive'. I wouldn't buy The Monkees' album either, personally; it's decent pop music but it won't change your life.

Surrealistic Pillow is a difficult one for me. I use to love it but these days I find it quite bland in places, it has some amazing moments though. Younger Than Yesterday is a very good album; it isn't in the same league as the 'must-buys' I've mentioned above, but it's a very good album nonetheless. As for the Hendrix album—I think everyone should have one—personally I'd go for Axis: Bold as Love, which was also released in 1967.

Other albums I'd recommend from '67 would be: Safe as Milk (Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band), Strange Days (The Doors), Their Satanic Majesties Request (The Rolling Stones), No Way Out (The Chocolate Watchband), I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die (Country Joe & the Fish), Forever Changes (Love), Alice's Restaurant (Arlo Guthrie) and perhaps Pink Floyd's first album. My favourite record from the year is The Velvet Underground's debut, but I think I'm right in saying you already own that.

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

I'm really confused to how a pop band can change your life.

It's quite obvious to see The Monkees are one of the biggest pop bands ever lived, for a reason aswell.

His new album is pretty good, and it has a few really catchy songs on it, but I wouldn't say it's his best, no. Although, to me, there isn't an album of his which particularly stands out, really. I'd say Friends of Mine is my favourite, though. He was definitely the highlight of the Leeds Festival for me, he's great live.

I'm looking forward to The Damned and The Cure's new albums, which are being released around the end of the month.

If you want my honest opinion...
I have decided it would be a great idea for me to instead of download all my music start to purchase CDs and start an album collection, here are my first additions what do you all think?
The Fratellis - Costello Music - Don't really like The Fratellis
Kaiser Chiefs - Employment - Not a fan of the Kaisers either, strikes me as a little bit bland and boring.
The Killers - Hot Fuss - The Killers best album by far.
The Kooks - Inside In / Inside Out - I quite liked this album, got a very summery sort of feel to it.
The Cribs - Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever - Top quality album one of my favourites from last year.
Razorlight - Razorlight - Preferred Razorlight's debut, this album is more pop-oriented.
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm - One of my favoruite albums of all time, shame Bloc Party have gone downhill since.
Klaxons - Myths Of The Near Future - Very good album throughout.
The Courteeners - St. Jude - Didn't really like this album, few of the acoustic tracks towards the end were okay though.
Oasis - Stop The Clocks - Not a fan of compliation albums myself but there good if you just want the hit songs.
The Cribs - The Cribs - The Cribs are awesome.
The Clash - The Singles Album - Legendary band.
The Cribs - The New Fellas - The Cribs are still awesome.
The Feeling - Twelve Stops and Home - are you serious!? ;)
The Wombats - A Guide To Love, Loss and Desperation - Few good songs but average album at best

'Maybellene' is my favourite song by Chuck Berry, followed by 'Roll Over Beethoven'. Fats Domino is my favourite artist from the '50s though.

Also, Johnny B.Goode is my favourite Chuck Berry song, cheers me up on the trolleys.

Alot of cheesy stuff atm. Can't beat it.

Miley Cyrus - See You Again - xD
Katy Perry - Hot 'n' Cold - Fair play to her, proper tune this. Thought she'd be a one hit wonder, even though I now despise I Kissed A Girl after people killed it.
Britney Spears - Womanizer - (L)

Aswell as:

Guru Josh - Infinity 2008
Kardinal Offishial - Dangerous
The Courteeners - That Kiss
T.I - Live Your Life
Iglu & Hartly - In This City
Chris Brown - Superhuman

The Guru Josh song will turn out to be one of the biggest dance songs of the year IMO (Even though the original was released in 1990.)

That Jimmy Jazz song is truly bad, the first few lines sound like hes off his head, and his voice is below average.

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

I have decided it would be a great idea for me to instead of download all my music start to purchase CDs and start an album collection, here are my first additions what do you all think?

The Fratellis - Costello Music - Ok album, Chelsea Dagger is the only song of theirs I really like tbh.

Kaiser Chiefs - Employment - Good album
The Killers - Hot Fuss - Fantastic
The Kooks - Inside In / Inside Out - It's ok at best
The Cribs - Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever - Good album
Razorlight - Razorlight - Great album
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm - Great album
Klaxons - Myths Of The Near Future - Average
The Courteeners - St. Jude - Good
Oasis - Stop The Clocks - I havent listened to this, but if its a complication album I love it I suppose, I love Oasis anyway
The Cribs - The Cribs - Good
The Clash - The Singles Album - Ok
The Cribs - The New Fellas - Good
The Feeling - Twelve Stops and Home - Suprisingly I like these, their pop and cheesy but their catchy, different, and theyre good fun.
The Wombats - A Guide To Love, Loss and Desperation - Dislike the band, they remind me of SFG, boring, bland and repetitive

Sorry bout double post by the way.

I'm currently listening to All Mod Cons of The Jam, Space Oddity of David Bowie and How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb by U2.

[thersonli1keano]

The songs value really has nothing to do with Strummer's vocals though.

In fact, (in my opinion) Joe's vocals adds to the story, sounding like a person that the police started questioning when he was drunk but they find his information more cryptic than useful.

Really intelligent lyrics and use of vocals more than anything.

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

I'm talking about his voice, yes, tbh I think I can make my voice go like that, and mine is truly horrendous.

I gotta say before I went away for the weekend Niall gave me this video of JD singing this song, and when he was doing that boring/bland voice it sounded terrible, but when he actaully started 'putting effort in' and the song was up tempo, suprinsingly, I enjoyed it.

I've always said things like how the band influences others and the lyrics are extra bonuses, I dont see if a band had the best songwriter ever, and a band influenced alot of others, but the music sounded horrific, then it can be considered good, thats me though.

I'm just saying there's more to the music of both the Clash and Joy Division now that you mention it, than vocals.

The magic of Ian Curtis was not in his vocal ability, it's in the poetry! If all you care about is vocals go listen to Coldplay or someone.

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

Did I say its the only thing I care about? If Freddie Mercury or Steven Tyler or a legendary lead singer sung the same words over and over again then it wouldn't be good would it?

It's like saying if I wrote the lyrics which were 'amazing' but the music was bad for your ears, why is thatgood?

For the record, I dont like Coldplay anyway, I really think since X & Y they've gone downhill.

Of course you can, if the music is played to fit and suit the vocalist, along with the obvious, extremely good lyrics, you've got genius in the making?

No you're quite right, I'm just curious to see who these 5/6 people are because I suspect if someone who has similar taste in music to me (LATW liking Radiohead and a couple of others anyway) therefore the lyricists he thinks are better should at least be near the standards of Curtis, lyrically - if this is the case then I am yet to discover more than 2 of them.

Agreed with you there, had a chuckle at Mercury.

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

After 2 albums which neither was particulary amazing, according to you guys he suddenly is some legend, and your saying that one of the greatist bands of all time, who, sold 10x more (dont give me that suicidal thing), and your saying he's better.

Plus, Mercury has a 100x better voice anyway

Keano: I like Radiohead and I think Thom has a quite good voice actaully, thats why I like his first album quite alot. I like how he can change his vocal style quite considerably.

[thersonli1keano]

But on the whole I agree with the majority of your list, didn't think of Doherty actually, but yeah I would say he's up there.

Just, Doherty and Barat together are sensational. Glimpses of Doherty's lyrical genius while part of Babyshambles can be seen in the likes of, 'Beg, Steal or Borrow'.

I like Dylan, also, just not one of my personal faves that's all.

Comfort zone? Queen is being in a comfort zone, I try to widen my music taste by mixing through a lot of genres.

A mixture of pop tunes, compiled can bring on affection of fans. The public is easily fooled, look at the amount of people who like The Ting Tings.

Before you say, I do realise more people like Queen than the Ting Tings. To me, they've just got 30 pop songs, which is said in the title, "popular". But to be calling him a better lyricist than Ian, is a joke.

I hated Queen ever since I heard Bohmenian Rhapsody. Most annoying pop song I've ever heard.

My opinion though, as is everything to do with music, it's not a science, there are no facts.

Queen just don't sound good to me.

But here, I have not once disagreed with you on Queen being widely considered one of the greatest bands of all time. They are widely considered one of the greatest bands of all time, of course they are.

They just do not have enough depth, darkness or humanity in their music to appeal to me.

Unless it's proper good electro (or now dubstep as I'm getting into that lately) it's gotta have some depth or else I'm not really interested.

Where Is My Mind? - The Pixies

GOOD
While I think Surfa Rosa is a decent album, I still don't get all the hype it gets. It just doesn't do much for me. I am, however, quite fond of that song, as well as 'Monkey Gone to Heaven', which is from their next album.

I've been listening to Miles Davis' Bitches Brew lately. I'm still unsure whether or not I prefer it to Kind of Blue, as of yet, though. I bought Polar Bear's new album today, which I'm listening to at the moment. It sounds very good so far. I also liked M83's new album, too. There's been quite a few decent shoegaze-influenced records released this year.

[Jimmy Jazz]

On the subject of a singer's voice (I realize it's a little late), I think it is important. It's just, for me, I prefer listening to a unique voice as oppose to a 'technically' good one. I think being able to show the belief in what you're saying is the most important thing. If you can somehow convey the feeling of the lyrics onto the listener, than, in my opinion, you're a good singer, regardless of what notes you can hit. I'd much rather listen to Lou Reed or Bob Dylan singing than someone off the X-Factor.

The music is fake, that side of the industry is fake. Can't you see that? They are built up to make money and other people will make money from their 'fall'. Then they'll make more money from their comeback.

You seem to misunderstand any point that people make on this forum and frankly I think you do it just to wind people up.

I don't have anything against the people who audition for the X Factor. It's understandable that someone would want their five minutes of fame. It's the people who set these programs up who I dislike. They could be using that money to help bands which have been genuinely working hard.

It isn't a coincidence that all the winners fall back into obscurity after the first album, or even their first single. They're nothing but a bunch of glorified karaoke-singers. How you can compare multi-instrumentalists such as Prince or Michael Jackson to Leona Lewis is unbelievable. When Leona Lewis writes a 'Billie Jean' or a 'Purple Rain' I'll take you seriously.

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

Find where I compared Leona to MJ on terms of talent, but if your going to insult pop music you insult them all. Again, when you hear Leona Lewis on the karoake machine please record it or something, I think it was you which said she had a crap voice, again, complete sh*t.

Again, I really aren't sad enough to sit on a laptop and just try to wind people up, I think its because im not the typical person who is on this forum, and I for one will debate a point or argue it, whichever way you want to see it.

How did you manage to work all that out? ;)

I've listened to Basshunter - Angel in the Night about 50 times today now :lol:

Acceptance are the best band ever.

Bleeding Heart/In The Cold/Take Cover/Seeing is Believing/Different are all top songs.

[tottivillarossi]

The Spill Canvas (L) Lyrically, one of the finest around.

[terrier 4 life]

The Best of Joy Division.
Pablo Honey.
Intimacy.
Kala.
In Rainbows.

All will be getting some major play time today, providing I don't go out.

Oh, and talking of Intimacy, I urge everyone to go out and buy it, it's out today... it's a masterpiece.

[tottivillarossi]

The Killers' new album Day & Age is getting great reviews! One review even said it's their best album yet, and one of the best albums of the year.

The new Cure record came out today. I trust you all rushed out to buy it, yeah? It's fantastic, their best work in years. They've gotten the mixture of atmospheric post-punk songs and catchy pop tunes just right.

Well I tried...

I heard it wasn't very good though, so I didn't exactly rush, didn't think it was worth borrowing money for...

[Jimmy Jazz]

I think it's very good. I'm by no means a big Cure fan. I rarely listen to any of their studio records. I have, however, played their 'Greatest Hits' (since it's mostly just the pop songs) to death. Like I said, I think this album's very accessible, but, at the same time, it has enough of their 'gothic' moments (both lyrically and musically) to keep the 'hardcore' fans happy, and, perhaps, introduce the more casual listener (like myself) to their other work. It's one of my favourites from the year. Where did you hear it wasn't very good?

Drinky, have you heard B.B. King's new record?

This band are going to be the next big thing, they are the only band in recent years to make post-hardcore sound completely original (L)

[Ice Cube]

Downloaded the new Kings of Leon album last night(still missing 3 songs of it) and it's a really good album. Though, Crawl is a fantastic tune, it sounds original and kinda gritty, really good tune. Use Somebody, is miles better than Sex on Fire, though some of my niave friends disagree, cos Sex on Fire is in with the trendddddd, kna mean?

Cold Desert is the best track on that album IMO, KOL are a bit overated though. They're not as good as they used to be anyway.

Aye there a bit overated alright, though there still good. I also love all these wee stupid immature ned wannabe lassies have Sex on Fire, and think there Rock Gods, and youuuuuuuu your sex is on fireeeeeeee(8) 'aw what a song man.' Obviously that (<<<) is in a Scottish junkie voice.

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

I think KOL are very good, and sex on fire is a choon.

How aware of them were you before that song though?

[United Forever]

Sex On Fire is one of the worst songs on the album. It's just all the fanboys bumming it bores me. Closer is my favorite of OBTN. Loved it since first listen.

[Scottanater is a Sexy Beast]

Sex On Fire is one of the worst songs on the album. It's just all the fanboys bumming it bores me.

Here here, my girlfriend thinks it's the best song this year, it's fúcking tedious can't stand it.

I got both of their other albums.

They have 4 albums though.

I have 3 out of their 4 then, so I'd say I know their music.

[thersonli1keano]

For me, 'Holy Roller Novocaine and Youth and Young Manhood' was the best with Red Morning Light and Molly's Chamber being the best tracks and then 'Aha Shake Heartbreak' was a good album, King of the Rodeo, Four Kicks and probably their most well known song 'The Bucket' being the best tracks.

Wouldn't buy the newer two.

I'm seriously considering getting Miley Cyrus' album :o

Which is what I've done, I luckily got to see them after their first two albums, brilliant atmosphere, enjoyed myself. Now, they're hell-bent on just making money, it used to be about the music and things have changed. Shame.

Music Snobbery right there. They make an album that happens to get to number one and all of a sudden you dislike them.

Adding to the fact I don't like any of there new music. Haha, right, let's get one thing sorted, music snobbery? They've admitted they want to take over the world, when a band says this, there's no passion in the music, it's all about money and it's all manufactured. Also, as I've said, I don't like any of there newer songs, the third album was mediocre and there latest installment is even worse.

[tottivillarossi]

I get what Niall is getting at. FFAF were my favourite band, their first album was amazing, their second was very good, but their second and third, it's just like 'where the hell did the edge go?'
But I don't think Kol are manufactured, are they?

Are now, in my opinion, with their recent comments and the music in general, it's torrid.

By the way, FFAF put on a brilliant gig... ;)

If you can write songs that happen to sell millions, make you loads of money and give you 8 ferrari's, then you would. You would not stay the same and continue to write songs that only a few like, and only the ones in the know listen to.

It really irritates me when people say somehting along the lines of, i liked them years ago when they sold 8 copies of their album and i saw them in someone's garden shed, now they are selling millions and are appearing at wembley, they have sold out and are no longer credible.

You've missed the point and said what many people have to me, about them selling 8 copies blah blah, well to be honest, after their second album, they were filling big events and making a lot of money, enough to live life comfortabely and have a lot of extras.

Now all they want is more and more and their producing music to fit into a popular culture, 'Sex on Fire' is simply a pop track.

Either way mate, you can say what you want, it's not going to make me all of a sudden like their new album when I don't even like the tracks.

Why does it annoy you?

I don't take that view, my favourite bands are generally massively popular and selling millions. But at the same time I can see why people would like a band when they weren't as big as they can be more accessible, more original and can be something you love that no-one else can do, without the scrutiny of a larger audience which comes with commercial success.

But Kol would have been rich after two albums, being huge in America, and over here by then, having headline tour after headline tour.

It's just so great they came to my little sh*te town of Whitehaven, they packed the place out and I had a lot of fun watching them. Yeah there's an EP with bullets on the front I think? I really liked it actually.

[Jimmy Jazz]

The Kings of Leon are far from 'huge' in America. It's only their latest record that's broke into the top ten of the Billboard charts. In the UK, however, they've always been massive; they've never had an album outside the top three. So, y'know, they've never really been particularly 'underground' or anything.

I don't know what they have said as i generally don't follow it, it is common however that what I have said happens. Nothing wrong with a pop track that gets to number 1 in my view, bob the builder aside. Enough people like it, and because it is a different approach to previous albums, its rubbish, torrid and manufactured. Truth is, its more popular to more people because its good. Not to your taste maybe, but manufactured is too far, you must surely see the qualities in something that gets to number 1 and is loved by many.

Incidentally, i myself prefer the older stuff and like a few of the new songs, I guess its just people, and they are out there, who for some reason dislike anything remotely mainstream or popular.

The main problem with a band, like Kol, who have been around for a few years, who have one big hit, is that suddenly they go from playing little intimate shows at the carling academys to playing in the NIA because everyone is going to want tickets.

Oi, I don't mind the odd pop track and some stuff that is manufactured still ain't that bad cause it's catchy but like I've said, continuously, I don't like the new music they've produced. You can have your crusade all you want, but I don't like them right now, simple as. And to be honest, yes, I think there new album is torrid. Yes in a sense cause it's manufactured but in another, cause it's awful music.

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

UnitedJack, you summed up exactly what I think, IMO, it happens alot on this forum, a band could be amazing one minute, and as soon as they get more popularity theyre suddenly hated for being 'pop' or mainstream, sad really.

[tottivillarossi]

UnitedJack, you summed up exactly what I think, IMO, it happens alot on this forum, a band could be amazing one minute, and as soon as they get more popularity theyre suddenly hated for being 'pop' or mainstream, sad really.
Generally though, when a band has a few albums out, then suddenly gets more attention as a result of a song from their third or fourth or fifth album or whatever, it's because they change their style to what's considered to be more mainstream.
Personally, I don't care if a band changes their style slightly and gets more famous from it. I do get annoyed when they get labelled 'sell outs' because of it, but I also get annoyed when it becomes hard to get tickets for that band because all the little chart *****s have tickets instead, which makes for a truely awful atmosphere.

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

Fair point, but any band is going to change their style to get a bigger popularity/audience, I'd rather have 10 million people watch me do a rendition of barbie girl then 100 people watch me do a more original style (if i was good at it)

I understand where you're coming from, but if you'd sing Barbie Girl in front of 10 million people you may be r£tarded
Personally, if I was in a band, I'd much prefer to do 100 tour dates in venues that barely fit a few hundred people, it's just more intimate, and being in the crowd it would seem like they were singing it to you more personally.

[Jimmy Jazz]

LATW, when you listen to music, do you feel any emotion? Or do you just do it to pass the time?

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

JJ, I love music, and of course I feel emotion. I sometimes empthaize (sp) with the artist and I like to know what I'm saying. I'm not one of these peoplewho can listen to the music just on lyrics, it has to sound good IMO.

TVR: Barbie Girl was an example, but of course I'd rather personally play in front of a massive crowd rather than a little one, what I was getting at is that I'd rather be popular than not be.

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

Alot actaully, and that was more from a band sense, but whats the point in being a band if 20 people want towatch you and you can't sell out, and then a world tour sells out in hours?

It's obvious you are a total different person to me, but then again, Barnsley ;)

[Jimmy Jazz]

I'd rather be popular than not be.
So would most people, but are you saying you'd go against everything in order to make money? Do you have no morals whatsoever?

[Winning Days]

Fair point, but any band is going to change their style to get a bigger popularity/audience, I'd rather have 10 million people watch me do a rendition of barbie girl then 100 people watch me do a more original style (if i was good at it)

Just say what UJ said eh, and I've already said about Kings of Leon to be honest. Another point, I liked them years ago, I disliked there third album so labelling me as a person who has just changed my mind is bizarre. Likewise with anyone else, you'd struggle to find an example.

[Leeds_All_The_Way]

Just to add about what JJ said about morals, its a easy answer, solely on the question 'would you want to be popular' the answer is going to be yes.

Makes me wonder about people.

Niall, that wasn't based towards you, I love you xx
