    I can see exactly what you are saying, you make an excellent point, but your average radio listener is not listening because they want their life changed by some insightful pseudo-meaning behind the song. mostly, the music is used as a background, a wallpaper for their life, not actively engaged in.

    if any possible artistic value would be lost on the listener, why shouldn't this music be as musically amazing as possible?

    In your abovementioned cases, Dido and Aerosmith did all the hard work.
    So did DIDO have her big success before or after Eminem had used her song on his track? Eminem is a bit like an engine tuner...he needs someone to have created the vehicle for him to tinker and add to.

    I think you should steer away from being a lyricist if that punctuation is anything to go by

    Are you suggesting that not playing a musical instrument means that you can't appreciate 'real' music? Total bollox IMHO...but what would I know, I'm just a button pushing dot reader (a jazz violinists opinion on saxaphonists that read music).

    I just knew you were a Ramones fan.

    *Ramone* fan - I think there's only one left. From the original line up anyway.

    The Ramones don't hold the patent on good ole three-chord R&R...

    ZZ Top
    George Thoroughgood
    Pete Seager
    Led Zepplin
    The Rolling Stones

    And one or two others have made a reasonably good fist of this genre over the years.

    Fuck off .... Don't you think that it's really just a matter of personal taste ??

    I have a preference for rock/ska/punk but I like lot's of different styles including rap,hip hop, hard house, blues, anything but country, thats just for faggs .. (troll)


    I dunno maybe I've eread ya wrong but it sounds like your just speiling crap to me.
    Listen to his aformentioned self recorded music. As you obviously havn't, I would like to politely ask you to get your firmly wedged head out from your ass and actually listen to what you are judging. As Jamezo's brother, I recognize his rather amazing musical talent, which is something that you have neglected to do. Not a personal attack, but please, know what you are talking about. Maybe you would like to also read up on the Freedom of Speech, eh?

    Pete Seager - the obscure folk singer (thanks Google) or maybe you mean Bob Seager and the Silver Bullet Band? Am I right?

    I would say these are more R&B than R&R...

    So MAdcat...do you play an instrument? If not how do you recognize his amazing musical talent?

    I think freedom of speech works for all, or none at all.

    BTW I'm just playing with you....in case you hadn't worked it out

    Aye, and me too. It was late and I was in the mood for a troll before bed.

    Yup, I also play guitar, and I would judge myself higher than the BoyWhoLearnsACoupleOfChords.
