U2 ruins my indie-ness

 

[U2Man]

Yes. I post "who cares"

You shit a brick.

You want sugarcoating and false pleasantries? Really? You want that?

Ok. I've edited my original post.

Why don't you make the forum better? I've inquired and been told to stop by hosts. This forum doesn't want to get better.

you chose the wrong person for your attacks. seriously. you could hardly have been more wrong. in fact, you couldn't.

now lay off the booze for tonight and go to bed. sleep tight.

So listening to mainstream music equals losing your balls? Sounds to me like somebody has lost their marbles.

This does not make any sense at all to me! How the hell can Radiohead be that high??? And more than the Beatles? Obviously it's based on what's being logged on last fm, which may or may not be mainstream.

 

[U2Man]

agreed, i shouldnt have said 'totally'.

but you always say that u2 lost their balls when they went mainstream around 2000.

so logically you must have lost around 68% of your - old - balls too.

When did I say anything about "not appreciating" RH? All I'm saying is that they're definitely less mainstream than the friggin Beatles!
