I'm guessing you mean INXS with Hutch. INXS are another band that belongs in that group I've got just behind U2.

Oh, I'm plenty up to date - but mainly with the underground. The "best of 2007" lists I saw feature bands that are actually good, like Porcupine Tree and Alcest. If a dying pig for a vocalist is what passes for popular these days, then I'll stick with my obscure music!

Please don't tell me you think Porcupine Tree are better than Kings of leon? oh my god!!!!!!! Porcupine would'nt even sell out a 1,000 club here in UK!

Please don't tell me you're basing talent on ticket sales? If this is the case then Hannah Montana is the most talented act in the US right now...

So what? Music tastes, in my opinion, are subjective anyway, and if Axver likes Porcupine Tree and andyuk likes Kings of Leon, so be it. The point of music is how it moves you on a personal level, not based on album or ticket sales.
Rob33 said:well obviously music tastes are subjective, how could they not be? It's taste, it's what you like personally...everyone is different. It's interesting though...can you judge the quality of music based on how it moves you personally? I'm not so sure...in any case, the music that moves you the most is most likely your favorite music...but that doesn't necessarily make it "better" from an artistic perspective (in terms of quality)...in other words, just because music moves you personally doesn't make that music better than something that doesn't do much for you...I think there is an objective aspect to music...

I never really cared for what was artistically "better", but rather what sounds good to my ear. That, to me, is the most important thing, rather than saying, "Oh, wow, I can't believe you like (insert band or song, for that matter, here)!! They suck! [So and so] is so much better!
