I don't think i've agreed with anything as much as I do with this in the entire thread.

Here's a thought. Why is all commercialized alternative rock inherently bad?

I don't think it is, especially if you want to put RHCP, Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana into that category.

I don't think that either. I like all three of those bands. I was making a point to Janszoon...

It's the radio dude, can anything else be expected? Unless you go to genre-specific radio stations, then it might be a bit better.

I think there's a huge difference between Beatles "pop" and Gaga/Kesha/Perry/Spears "pop"...

This was a number one hit in 1953:

This is such a frequent topic on this forum. We could write a book with all the comments that are made about this (or at least a really long pamphlet).

Sure there is, but at the end of the day its still pop. And I dont mean that negatively either. Its like comparing soft rock to fuzz rock. Both different but based on the same principles and still within a genre.

That's awful, but it's much better than the number one hits in 2011.
