"What on earth is wrong with a song being liked by many people? I never really understood that way of thinking. I mean, weren't the Beatles, the Stones, The Who, Elvis Presley, Springsteen, Pearl Jam, U2, Green Day and REM all great--and weren't they also all commercial and popular as hell?"
Bravo Suz! These artists are constantly hailed as some of the greatest contirubuters to the commercial and musical community and if you say anything negative about them, it's you who is suddenly ignorant of musical integrity.
Honestly, I don't understand why critics are placed on such a high pedestal anyway. They're just people with opinions. The only difference is, they have a more accessible outlet.
