Artists that are being "pushed too much"

Recommended Posts

Guest mister foozel

Well, for starters, Avril Lavigne.

 

Thank the lord she didn't get a grammy.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Every single band ever.

 

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

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.

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".

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

 

Anyway, back to this:

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

 

I recommend it since you're such a jazzamatic.

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.

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.
