Too bad. Not everyone's a music snob, mr. wise guy!

 

[namkcuR]

Am I seeing things, or did someone list RHCP's 'Under The Bridge' as a forgotten song?

It's only their stairway

 

[hiphop]

Compared to the ACTUAL top40..

1. Ne-Yo

Sure he's #1 and HE CONNECTS with young fans but it's the same old sound and an example of WHAT'S WRONG with the industry. He can dance WELL. I like guys who CAN DANCE.

2. High School Musical

Marketing substance OVER musical substance. Young GIRLS are connecting but are they FEELING it? I didn't FEEL it. CONNECT whatsoever. So this will be dead in weeks. NOBODY will remember.

3. Hawthorne Heights

So Tony was #3 this week. HE DOESN'T GET IT. It's NOT about CHARTS. It's ABOUT CONNECTING. The fans DIDN'T CONNECT. They didn't DISCOVER this band. With the HYPE. Tony will fail. He doesn't P2P or ITUNE.

4. Alan Jackson

Jackson GETS IT. HE CONNECTS with FANS. A gospel collection. It SELLS. I DON'T GET IT. I don't have ANY use for GOSPEL. If Jackson Browne or the Eagles aren't SINGING songs about GOD. I don't NEED it. I CAN'T CONNECT.

5. Johnny Cash Collection

Further proof the INDUSTRY doesn't GET IT. Do yourselves a favor. P2P it.

6. Mary J Blige

Why is this SELLING. I saw HER on the GRAMMYS. With BONO. Awful. COULDN'T CONNECT. FEEL THE MUSIC. She has fans. SHE gets IT.

7. Jack Johnson

Proof he GETS touring. He SELLS shirts. He DOESN'T NEED to sell plastic DISCS. His FANS do it ANYWAY. They download on P2P. They GET IT. He GETS IT. The INDUSTRY doesn't GET IT. Universal GETS IT.

8. Carrie Underwood

Carrie WHO? WHO is SHE? I know she WON the American IDOL. They GET IT. The people voting DON'T GET IT. Who CONNECTS to HER? She's CUTE. I'd DO her. I DO anything. As you all KNOW. She MAY NOT be one of the Bangles. OR LINDA Ronstadt. I'd STILL do her. I don't GET her music. Too PRODUCED.

9. James Blunt

I wrote ABOUT this guy. AWHILE Ago. He's GOOD. The FANS obviously GET HIM. Sony is OVERSELLING him. CLIVE isn't GETTING IT. Let his MUSIC find the FANS. Don't OVERSELL HIM. His VOICE is HIGH. He ISN'T Jackson BROWNE. OR England Dan. But he's GOT ONE good song. I CONNECTED to it. I GET IT.

10. Andrea Bocelli

Who BUYS this guy's CDs? Who BUYS CDs ANYMORE? Why do OLD people BUY stuff like THIS? I say the INDUSTRY doesn't GET IT. I take it BACK. The FANS don't GET IT. Supporting AN ARTIST like this by BUYING the PLASTIC DISCS. THEY ARE OBSOLETE. BOCELLI is OBSOLETE.

 

[Tiger Edge]
