 It is boring. It takes no talent to write, at all! It pisses me off when a
 retard with Halloween makeup on(i.e. Manson) takes good radio time away
from
 talented, respectful bands like Failure and so many others. Even if the
song
 is"catchy" , I could not enjoy it. It is too easy to write the slop on
radio
 these days. I personally could not, would not listen to an artist without
taking
 the time to decide whether or not I respected them. Pantera might be the
best
 band in the world, but I wouldn't know because I don't support genecide or
the
 Third Reich. Same with Oasis. Nobody that arrogant deserves praise for
anything.
 Excuse me please. I said I want to be a singer like Lou Reed! Losin' my
penis to
 a whore with disease! I said please. I've been tired. I like Failure
alot.<<<

Point taken and you make a few good ones, but what does P.C. have to do
with it? Do you mean because we can admit what embarrassments we are to our
generation for secretly listening to "slop" once in a while? And what
distinguishes "easy" music from "insert appropriate antonym here" music? 

As far as that "retard with Halloween makeup", he doesn't get hardly any
airplay, nor does he get heavy rotation on MTV. One has to stay up until
2am just to hear a Manson song on the radio or see a vid on tv. and that's
even here in their own home town. (radio anyway) So worry not, I don't
think that Manson is stealing much of anything away from Failure.  
And don't even get me started on Oasis.... I must agree with you on that
one.
