If you go to more genre/label oriented boards that's where you find a good healthy discussion on more obscure bands.

Want to PM me tracks from those acts and I'll check it out?

I just don't like people whining about things they too, can achieve. It's silly. As for mainstream bands, good for them. I don't much care for most of the material, but they obviously worked hard enough to get themselves where they are. Their time will rise and fall, that's just the way it is, but they did it. That's what matters.

I'll agree that people exagerate their point half the time so it doesn't sound so rehashed and boring, but we're walking down the path of "its not ok to say you don't like something because effort was put in."
Its fine to say you don't like something so long as you say why. If I hurt someones feeling thats really thier burden to bare, unless its something personal like
"jesus christ no wonder you were adopted. If my wife ****s a kid out like you, the best you'd hope for is adoption."
If its pertaining to the art you shouldn't limit it.
