Pardon me, but the strokes write their own music, moreso than Avril. True, she does right for the most part her own music, but Clif Magness tweaks it to be the pop songs that come out on the album.
All of the Strokes material is either written by the band or Julian Casablancas.

Catchy? No. Crap? Yes.

I don't mind great performers, but then again I hate it when faceless people become megastars............and are forgotten within 3 years.

Serves them right. *rar*

Frank Sinatra never wrote a song in his life.

Still a damn fine performer though.

And there's the difference, not all acts are musicians, some are performers. Doesn't make them any less "good", they just do different things.

However, doing it badly still makes them crap. Like Avril.

They get given the songs and they then perform them.

Anybody who writes their own music I have respect for, just the manufactured pap like Girls Aloud that I hate.

They get picked from nowhere then given stuff and told to perform it. That's al they do.

I don't mind the music that The Strokes perform but when you compare how much they do towards what Avril does, she does far far more towards it and she deserves credit for it.

She could so easily tell someone to write all the music for her but she doesn't.

It's just record companies marketing. Foreign acts such as Las Ketchup, The Cheeky Girls and Tatu (although I actually quite liked that tatu song) are being marketed by their managers/companies over here with singular, catchy songs. Crap, yes, but you have to admit they are catchy. Which is why they get to number one, as bought by...erm....the kind of lager drinking, kareoke singing public that we have in Britain (sorry, lager drinking, kareoke singing public for any offence).
They have these one hit wonders which earn the companies a quick buck, and then they go.

It's novelty value.

Ok then. It was just loads of people say they don't like The Strokes etc. just so they can sound radical and amazing...
Fine, but I don't quite see what you're getting at with the 'they just do what they're told, only have to perform' bit.
Enlighten me.

I quite like 'I'm with you' and 'Complicated' but the rest of her stuff i've heard, I can't say it does much for me.

I can't believe I just admitted to that in public.

I'd like to throw a bin (minus a lid) full of manure, poison, rusty razor blades and sulphuric acid at Avril Lavigne. Ho ho ho. If you like that sorta thing, go to www.newgrounds.com/collections/assasain, and then click on Avril Lavigne. Fun.
