    Re: Mainstream Music

    To put this whole debate in simple terms....

    People have different likings. Some people will like mainstream some people won't.

    If you can't agree all music is ok then : I agree to disagree.

        elegant. I like it! I just think exploring the debate fully is worthwhile. there's a lot out there to talk about.

        definitely true. still, you know the record labels would take all the royalties for constant radio play in a heartbeat were the market ever geared toward it.

        Another thought that just occurred to me, is that there are some people who I feel won't listen to music from a certain group not because they are popular per se, but because they don't like the image of the group, or feel they are fake, and will not bother to critique the music separately.
        I agree completely. I've been guilty of this myself. back when it was all the rage for everyone and their mothers to diss bands like Fall Out Boy, I dismissed My Chemical Romance completely without even checking out any tracks. I was stunned when I first heard the lead single off their newest album. now I'm just embarrassed by how stubborn I had been.

        great point right here. since we're on the topic of mainstream music, what would you say about famous performers who don't write their own material? is that the point where it's finally fair for people to disregard the music entirely, or should a listener be able to look past the disconnect and still appreciate the tunes?
