I'd much rather have an arrogant musician than a smug musician.

How about neither? I prefer humble musicians. Humble people, in general.

If every musician was nice and humble and clean-cut, i'd probably throw up a little.

I think theres room for arrogance.

I think arrogance is essential if you're going to stand out.

If Oasis didn't have any they would have just been another Neds Atomic Dustbin or another Northern Uproar.

I guess this all loops back to my view of Oasis being "shmeh". Maybe if I liked them more, I wouldn't mind their arrogance.

To work with and to have beer with sure. But it's a known fact that self-absorbed pricks make better music. Just look at Miles Davis.

i know you're being sarcastic, but i'm not when i say Oasis was cliched and generic. a handful of good singles does not make a great band.

MJ has become a necessary name to drop since he died and only because he died unnaturally. it was a challenge to find someone to speak relatively positively about him prior to his passing besides the kind of obsessed fans who've been with him forever and who didn't actually listen to anything else that wasn't spoken from the lips of their God.

Prince has never actually done a single thing for me.

Vampire Weekend and Gwen Stefani - AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA VW sounds like so many other pop punk bands that have come and gone only with even less edge and Gwen Stefani on her own is total rubbish. which was quite disappointing to see her play the pretty pop princess game for dollars rather than sticking to her guns the way she used to in No Doubt.
