Yeah, that attitude makes me want to shit.  As Alex pointed out - sheep
mentality.

 

If a colleague asks what's on my iPod at the moment, it's a case of,
"Who?  I've never heard of them."  They immediately presume it's shite
because they've never heard of them.  

 

But yes, the general public only like what everyone else likes.  I'm
sure I've read about a study on this.  

 

And selling a million copies in the first week means it'll be bargain
bin within 2 months.

 

Cheers,

Janean

I'm a big believer in that if you want to hear good music don't listen
to the charts.

Not always the case, but i'd say that's true 97.895% of the time.

As for guilty pleasures, I have a gazillion of them. Why pigeon hole
yourself.

I like what i like, as should everyone, & if something tickles your
music tendon, it tickles it.

Even Mariah Carey - who's opinion of I share Alex - I can appreciate she
has a good voice.

I wish she wouldn't use it & I kinda wish she'd get run over -  but
there's no denying she can sing.

 

Erm... stuff.
