to be honest when it comes to music im a complete fascist but that's more ebcause these bands are not worthy of the airplay they recieve. The market is saturated with over hyped skinny white boys with guitars and no souls. My rants on music arent aimed at anyone in particular but at the lack of necessity people place on what they listen to. I know it's a personal choice but ive always tried to dig as much as possible to find as many different/original bands as possible. Ive noticed on these boards more attention is paid to a hyped up jam tribute band then to a truly original artist, both of whom have albums out at the moment (the enemy vs M.I.A). I just dont understand societies attitudes towards ordinary and frankly quite tawdry music. Why have strongbow when you can have champagne? One's very easy I suppose but it's superficial and lacking in heart and soul.
It's an opinion, i suppose. but at the same time I get very passionate about music. I try to maintain as broad an outlook as possible (indie/soul/bluegrass/breaks/jazz/pop [in the traditional sense]/power pop etc are all included in my list.
also what would the point of a forum, or indeed any outlet for communication if we all agreed?

I was a massive fan of the Jam in their hayday, seen them on numerous occasions and still am. I like the Enemy - so what if they are influenced by another band surley a lot of bands are.
You asked why are kids obsessed about indi music today. I thought you were a kid yerself - 19 I believe.

If punters want to come on and view there opinions on music as you do about your 100's of bucks worth of clobber, just let them I say. FWIW, I may go to Meadowbank but only to see the The View and the PD's.
