> You're just scare to listen to it because it might be good
I hear plenty of it, seeing as a lot of commerical radio is played at my school due to the fact there is a stereo in my tutor room. I hear enough of it to make me not particularly like it. And how would I be scared to listen to it because it might be good? You, as I can guess from recent conversations, react in the same way to Led Zeppelin and similar bands, despite the effect they had on the music world. I believe 'Hypocrisy' is a relevant word.

Eminem is a excellent lyricist and singer, I admit, but his music is often pretty poor in comparrison. The Streets, Coolio, 2Pac and Outkast I also don't mind musically. It's just the fact that the hiphop you hear all over the place is often not up to much at all. It is a generalisation only because a) I am a rock fan, and b) I hear practilly no good hiphop anywhere.
By the way, No Fear, you misspelt 'cool'. How you can claim to be mature when you try to spite people? It just makes you like even more idiotic.

Just an example of one of many sweeping generalisations in this thread.
Good rap music has arguably the best lyrical substance in the music industry. There's a lot of crap in hip-hop at the moment - 50-Cent, for example - but artists like Eminem are incredibly talented and can write absolutely superbly.

Plus, how are Westlife any good in the first place? It's just some Irish guys who can sing. They can't write any music or lyrics and they have no say in thier music. Talent- none, singing ability, some.

Meh. I hear contrasting reports, so things do change around a fair bit. This whole episode is getting a bit stretched out now, so it would be good to bring it to a close.

I was just going on what you said.

Well, it's not sales that count really in myopinion, it's musical strength. Charts mean nothing to me apart from displaying which artists are earning large amounts of money and which are getting comparitively less.
