Yea, I agree with that. Though I wouldn't say sting is on that level, I'm not his biggest fan but saying he helped kill music would be a little overkill. Bands like one direction are going to be popular as long as there are 13 year old girls who want to see strange adult to older teenage men sing awkwardly catchy songs.Quote:

It is the fact people find these boys attractive..
The united states puts a sexual spin on everything. Florence welch isn't ugly but because she doesn't have huge body parts nicki minaj is much more popular in america. nickelback sings about sex and they are much more popular than the band the black keys, who write much better music. I could go on and on.. I'm not dissing on people who write sexual music or have sexual bodies, Why not capitalize on peoples shallowness. I would prefer it be more clever though, songs like all my life by foo fighters are incredibly sexual but you could listen to it and not know.Quote:

The black keys played here the same night as Foo Fighters and they were excellent
Yes, the black keys are gold. I would want to hate on people for using sex in music but I mean it's so commonly used anymore it's hard... I hate on nickelback because they are talented enough to make a living off of actual songs... but nicki minaj makes a living off obnoxious songs and being half naked...Quote:

Incubus, muse, foo fighters, florence and the machine, adele, peter bjorn and john, the xx, kings of leon, the strokes, bush, and death cab for cutie are bands I thought of quickly that all play music of quality, though I don't like everything they do it has substance.Quote:
