Ahh, great discussion.
I, for one, like a bit of both Outcast and Iron Maidon. I could just be saying that to be popular with everyone. Then i would be lying. I don't like all of Outcast's songs, ditto that with Maidon.

Hang on, hang on, whooaah! As forum moderator, I have to say 'easy tigers...' When did it become Iron Maiden vs Outkast? Now that's one scrap I'd like to see down at Skegness on Bank Holiday Monday. Except the Iron Maiden fans wouldn't turn up - too busy masturbating in their bedrooms between frenzied bouts of chemistry revision and Googling for pictures of Jolene Blalock...

thats the most decisive piece of moderating I ever did see.

For me theres two kinds of music, honest music and fake music.

If it's honest and made for the right reasons it is good, if it is designed only to sell records then it is fake and therefore bad.

Hey Ya is NOT a fake song, sure it's catchy and it's one for the kids to boogie to and obviously gonna hit the charts, but it's definitelly a song written by someone who just loves catchy feelgood music, therefore it is a good song.

Pop isn't all bad, far from it. To me Hey Ya is a far better and more honest song than anything that this current scurge of "emo" bands have produced. Bands like Funeral for a Friend and Thrice etc, just write music that sounds like forced teen angst and sadness because thats what the fans want to hear about, and the Lost Prophets seem to have just deliberately forged every possible "mosher" cliche into their latest/new video. They did a little mockery segment of it on 4Music which I found pretty amusing heading the segment "how to make a cliched rock video" and pointed out every little nu-metal cliched they'd used - BMXers, Tattoed people, crowd-surfing and "moshing";

If it's done right then pop music can be absolutely great, i think the whole "Pop" issue is dealt with really well and pretty humourously by Seymour Glass (Singer/Guitaris in Miss Black America), i suggest people have a read of it, it's not really long.....

It's the second one on the list titled "Better the Devil You Don't"

Miss Black America seem an articulate bunch, despite their lead singer being a fictional character.

I read it, I found it rather amusing... especially the hairmetal quotation of, "You got the touch, you got the poooooowwwwweeerrrrrrrrrrr!!!" due to the fact I'm obsessed with Transformers, and ironically had that song playing as I read that very quotation.

Hmmm... it's a small world after all.
