to start off...about 60%(thats a pretty conservative estimate) of americans and people in general are stupid. they hear songs from bands like creed and godsmack and whatever else the popular radio stations are playing and buy their cds. they like the music because it fits the mold, no longer than 3 minutes, 2 chorus solo, build up, chorus end. they dont really listen to what i consider to be good bands because it takes work to find them. im not trying to be some pretentious dude who only listens to unsigned band or bands on indie labels but that is most often the good bands are. their songs cant be played on the radio, they dont fit. listen to the mars volta cd, deloused in the comatorium and try to find a song that could be played on the radio. and the bands that do get played on the radio, are in my opinion probably created by the record companies because i just cant see how creed could have gotten signed by playing local shows.
