Artists that are being "pushed too much"

[Guest mister foozel]

Well, for starters, Avril Lavigne.

 

Thank the lord she didn't get a grammy.

[Guest MrRant]

Anyone on MTV.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

If the public buys their shit then so be it. Although MTV is the biggest influence for that kind of thing now. I'd rather listen to the radio though.

[Guest Flyboy]

People only get "pushed" because the majority of the public like what they are hearing.

[Guest red_file]

What's even popular now? I never can seem to keep track.

[Zorin Industries 0]

Justin Timberlake

[Guest cynicalprofit]

If a band is more about image then music, they're being pushed to much.

[Guest Nevermortal]

Simple Plan. These guys suck pretty hard and they're no different than tons of other pop punk bands. I don't understand what makes this group of assholes so unique.

[Guest Dace59]

The money beind them, maybe.

[Guest Zero_Cool]

So, anyobdy else tempted to enter that MTV sponsored Avril Lavigne contest? Love to win that and be a complete dick to her. You blow her off the entire time, yet video tape her at her worst moments.

 

Good Charlotte is over pushed, too.

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

Every single band ever.

 

No matter what, somebody will complain about an artist/band/singer getting undeserved credit.

[Guest Vyce]

Good Charlotte is a perfect example.

 

Also - 50cent. Sorry, he is NOT the savior of hip-hop, which he claims he's been called.

 

Limp Bizkit - now that the new album is coming out, I'll have to suffer through these worthless jizbags being all over MTV and the radio again.

[Guest Flyboy]

Also - 50cent. Sorry, he is NOT the savior of hip-hop, which he claims he's been called.

I agree with the 50 Cent statement, but his latest CD is damned good.

 

Plus... when did he claim he was the "savior of hip-hop".

[Guest justsoyouknow]

Coldplay, and, to a lesser extent, Norah Jones.

[Guest Kotzenjunge]

I want to win the Avril contest so I can GET her off, not blow her off.

[Guest crandamaniac]

Ja-Rule, you can listen to an hour of Rap Radio, and 45 minutes of it is his songs

 

 

The Neptunes: They command the other 15

[Guest Dillon Likes Bossman]

50 Cent and Ja Rule are overly "pushed", but I like the Neptunes.

[Guest Mad Dog]

Norah Jones

 

Did she really need that many grammies?

[Guest El Satanico]

Just because Norah Jones won alot of Grammys doesn't mean she's been "pushed too much".

 

Most of the people here probably didn't even know who she was prior to the Grammys. I never knew who she was prior. I knew her name from someone i knew mentioning liking her, but had no clue what songs she did. Even for someone like me who avoids MTV there's no way to miss an artist that's "pushed too much"

 

She wasn't mentioned or seen a 1000 times a day on MTV. The "pushed too much" people are.

[Guest Flyboy]

Norah Jones is not being pushed too much.

 

Hell, before she won those Grammy's MTV was playing her videos around 2 AM. That's how I first heard her music... about 5-6 months before the Grammy's. Pushed too much?

 

No.

[Guest Eyeball Kid]

I kinda like that one Norah Jones song. I'm not terribly interested in hearing more, though.

[Guest Flyboy]

Inc. listening to something mainstream!

 

The Earth... will now explode.

[Guest MrRant]

I'm sure the sound of Inc's self involved universe exploding will sound more like a Packer fan passing a bratwurst fart.

[Guest Eyeball Kid]

Inc. listening to something mainstream!

 

The Earth... will now explode.

Hey, she displays a lot of jazz influences. And she has a lovely voice.

 

Anyway, back to this:

 

[Guest Flyboy]

It's not a bad CD at all. I have it.

 

I recommend it since you're such a jazzamatic.

[Guest El Satanico]

jazzamatic.

Damnit flyboy...what did I tell you about making up words?

 

......

 

Oh yeah that's right I never told you anything about making up words...nevermind

[Guest Flyboy]

Spanking me?!

 

Pedophile.

[Guest El Satanico]

whaaat? not meee

 

:points at kinetic:

[Guest saturnmark4life]

ewww. This thread took a turn for the worse.

 

 

Justin Timberlake rocks, and I mean that. It's partly due to overexposure that the chilli peppers are such a joke to me now, their new stuff sucks as it is but now I've given up on them completely, they are a parody of themselves. Let it go, guys.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

I take too much heat for my taste in music on this board. But believe it or not, I do not like Good Charlotte, and I think they do take up too much MTV time...but the kids are buying their shit, they're into them. They were given a chance and they got over. (sorry to use wrestling terms)

 

I did get way tired of hearing about the Neptunes last year, seemed like the trendy thing to do was to have them work on your cd.

 

I don't watch a ton of MTV though, since MTV and MTV2 now doesn't show much in the way of music anymore.
