Well, I was only mentioning BM bands, not post-BM bands (though I suppose you could argue about Blut Aus Nord). True, ...And Oceans are only properly post-BM on A.M.G.O.D., but as I wasn't mentioning albums...

Especially in NYC. Bloggers in this city can literally make an obscure solo artist the "next big thing" within about 48 hours of their first performance in a venue admitting about 50 people. Trying to keep up is literally impossible, and would be even if you didn't care about anything else.

That being said, the thrill of coming across a new band, both in the sense that they just started to make music, and in the sense that they are doing something interesting that you've never heard before, is undeniable. It gives venue-hopping a sense of adventure.

Well said.

And quite frankly, since I'm new here let's just be honest from the get-go, I've got no problem with shitty music. If it's fun to my ears, I'll listen to it. I won't PURCHASE it, but I'll listen to it. I have no shame in blasting some Don't Stop Believin' in my car with the windows down.

Well theres bad like Journey-bad and then there is Panic! At The Disco-bad. They are two very different animals. Journey might make you feel guilty but its a whole lot of fun. Then there is the music thats downright painful to listen to.

Also: What are people's ages? I'm 19.

[Hat]

I just solve that whole problem by defining Journey as "Awesome"

It really does make it easier to cuss out people who listen to truely terrible music.

Also: 21 here

24 and I sing along to Jefferson Airplane songs.

[E. Spaceman]

17, and I love ABBA.

I'm 19 for another week, and the only radio station I listen to is the classic rock station which has a constant rotation of Journey, Foreigner, CCR, and Skynyrd.  Except when I listen to NPR.  Mmmm... classical music and hypnotic talk programs....

In keeping with the topic, kind of, I just have this to say:

90% of music is crap.

This is because 90% of everything is crap.

OK, maybe only 85% of jazz is crap and 92% of hip hop is crap and 98% of country is crap, but it all averages out to about 90% crap.

It has always been this way.  It just seems like there are more crap bands now than in the past because everyone has forgotten the crap bands of the past.

A corollary -- 99.999999999% of internet posts are crap.

I guess youre right, I was just thinking of Ocean's The Symmetry Of I - The Circle Of O album. Which is pretty much BM.

Is it wrong that each time I see "BM bands" or "Post-BM bands" all I can think is "Bowel movement??"  (Yes I know what it actually stands for.)

Age: 22

24 and I sing along to Jefferson Airplane songs.

Hey, Airplane is cool. Now if you had mentioned Starship...

well, there already is a metal genre dedicated to bowel movements.

I'm naive enough to believe you.  Really!?

[Scandanavian War Machine]

i hate Tom Waits.

the way people described him and from what i heard; i thought i would be all over it. but i listened to some of his stuff and it was ridiculously stupid.

i have a raspy voice too, tom! but i dont use it as the ONLY selling point for my music. jackass

[KharBevNor]

I'm naive enough to believe you.  Really!?

Pretty much.

[Mattie]

I'm listening to Upside Down, by Jack Johnson. I challenge you all to dislike this song!

And the video with the little monkey XD !!!!

I need to go see Curious George!

You're kidding, right?

Jack Johnson is boring and unoriginal. Every song of his sounds the same to me...

I would disagree but then again I am blissfully ignorant of most 'bad' genres like german schlager, nash trash and so on.
Instead I will correct your figure, all music is crap depending on who you ask. So essentially 100% of all music is crap because there always someone somewhere who hates the music you love to death.
Case in point scandinavian war machine's opinion of Tom Waits.
