Not true! The Smiths never sold out! Neither did the Ramones, or the Clash.

they are totally sell-outs - they dont care about the music at all - if you ask me

FaSho 11-14-2008 03:41 PM

They obviously do.

Wildcats42 11-14-2008 03:45 PM

how so?

FaSho 11-14-2008 03:48 PM

Have you heard anyFall Out Boy? If you can't hear the passion in Stump's vocals then you don't know how to listen to music.

Well, just because one member does doesnt mean that the whole band does, or acts like it.

I think it sounds like he cares about his vocals and how people think about him as an artist, not what he does with the music or what he says with it

And I have seen them in concert more than once, I know who they are.

They are what they are. A pop/rock band that entertains the casual music listener.

FaSho 11-14-2008 06:02 PM

I agree. I'm not saying they're not sellouts, I'm saying that they care about their music.

Of course they "care" about the music, it brings money in.
In the end however, they still suck. :D
