Finally, someone other than me speaks the truth.

I know. They just so happened to be the examples that I was going to talk about. A coincidence if you will.

I've heard some of their older stuff, and they actually sound pretty sweet.
A lot of their listeners say they like the direction they're going.
However, if you listened to 89X two months ago you'd know how popular they were.
I was stating the fact that hearing a song so many times it gets old is annoying.

as long as this practice earns them some money to create more songs, then this is not that bad at all.

I think selling out is underrated. Being all about the music is fine, but no-one's career lasts forever, and if you don't want to start stacking shelves when you're out of fashion, then you need the cash!
