Guest • Report post Posted July 30, 2007 Yeah, but I mean snobbery accusations coming from within, in which liking Fall Out Boy is unacceptable, naturally, but the Nelly Furtado/Timbaland song that would directly follow a Fall Out Boy song on any Kiss FM or equivalent Top 40 FM station in America is to be embraced. It's probably "embraced" because it's actually good. Nobody would assert that "Promiscuous" is a brave journey into higher thought, but the production techniques make it a damn good dance song. And, regardless of how intellectually vapid you may feel hip-hop/dance may be, it's not really that unreasonable to hold the idea that an excellent song in one genre is better than a warm-as-piss take on another genre. Which songs on your friendly local Top 40 station aren't well-produced? We'll run miles with "excellent production," but that's par for the course with any commercial-appeal music.

Slayer 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2007 Shame on you for not being able to tell the difference between that one dance song that goes "bom shika bom shika bom" and the other one that goes "bom shika shika bom bom bom shika shika bom" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're confusing good production with over-production. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
