I cringe to think Fergie is going to do a cover of Barrachuda…I wonder if she’ll use that dark and heavy guitar riff??..not a chance, probably just some stupid hip-hop beat.

I eat drano is a whiny white boy!

oh my god, american idol is on right now!…yuk!…oh well, i guess i’m going to watch it…

Don Imus and Russel Ez J Simmons demean women all tha thyme. But then there’s people in Pop Culture like Nelly Furtado who sings about gettin “loose.” Where are all those Feminist women? Russel Simmons he’s made da doe from people on da record label call’n women ( what santa claus says.) What about women who demean themselves? Nelly got a No. 1 out of her “looseness.” Cuz she has that song bout “getting around” with many “parners.” She must be in some big lawfirm! Nelly F has a kid and no shame! Where are you OPRAH…. God of the Titans? Protector of the HUMAN RACE? Oprah why don’t you complain at NeLLY? Isn’t that a double stanard for Imus? A white dude can demean women, but Nelly has vids where she acts like a ( santa says.) Very nice… love job - TPTH

Music just isn’t what it was 20-30 years ago.

Blame payola

Blame centralized pop acts created by record companies

Blame piracy.. if you REALLY want to

Blame Apple and shitty digital music

sanjaya can not sing

#4? Big deal! Everyone goes by chart position instead of copies sold. The Beatles “Love” sold over 200,000 copies a week for a month, but happened to come out when JayZ’s latest pile did, so it got no higher than #5, and was considered a failure. Eyes sell 58,000, debuts at 4 and it’s a “super-high” debut success!! Hell, McCartney’s last album sold 66,000 the first week but debuted at #8 or 9 and also was considered a relative failure. You have a 64-year-old man outselling you and this a big deal????

There’s no music worth a crap on the radio or on TV today. Somebody needs to come along and shake things up like Elvis in the 50s or — God forbid — Michael Jackson in the 80s.

Bloc Party are a great fucking band

With album sales at all time lows, (down 28% year to date compared with last year), it’s likely these no-name no-talent indie bands will debut high. They will likely take a freefall in upcoming weeks. My prediction- BRIGHT EYES WILL TUMBLE OUT OF THE TOP 50 IN LESS THAN THREE WEEKS. MAYBE NEXT WEEK.
However, high chart position does not result in high sales. Just a few years ago 56,000 wouldn’t get an album in the top thirty. Now it’s almost #1. This is the beginning of the end for albums as we know it.

It doesn’t surprise me that Bright Eyes did so well. His albums are consistently great and there was quite a hype for this one. I personally love the album; “If the Brakeman Turns My Way” and “Make a Plan to Love Me” are two of the better songs (but aren’t they all?)

cassadaga is pretty much fucking amazing.

bloc party’s first album was the bee’s knees. the second one is kinda meh.

Conor owns the record label he’s on Stupid….is he really going to throw himself off Genius?

after all the ads these asswipes are gonna be dropped from thier lable! 50,000 does not even cover the print ads!

Another crap indie band goes DOWN MF!

Bloc Party is amazing

I forget, is Bright Eyes good indie emo, or bad corporate emo?

Poor Phil Spector. I mean, he’s guilty as hell, but what a shame to be judged by such a stupid jury. ‘I think I’m a fair person, but it will be very hard to forget what I read.’ Christ, lady. You’re going to hear arguments from both sides before you have to decide. It’s called new information. Try to absorb it.

Eddie and Antonio getting funky with ‘Thank You’? Sly Stone must be spinning in his grave… even though he’s not dead yet.

You like the new Courtney Love album? So that makes Bruce Willis and the RS writing staff that she is currently blowing.
(I actually feel kinda bad for that one… I guess I am human…)

Fergie’s cover of “Barracuda” has the potential to be one of the worst cover songs of all time. It could also turn out to be pretty decent, but I sincerely doubt that.

Hooray for Gene, Paul, Ace, & Peter !!! The Awesome KISS !!!

Except that Bloc Party’s music is actually listenable.

I enjoy Rolling Stone’s double standards. Fergie sucks but we’ll give her the cover anyway because she’s popular. Fall Out Boy “used” to suck until the zeitgeist decided they didn’t, so let’s give them the cover. American Idol fills pop radio with even more sewage, but let’s give them the cover. “American Idiot” was a pretentious mess, but let’s give Green Day the cover AND Billie Joe the cover both in the same year.

I hate to break it to you, but, for all intents and purposes, Bloc Party IS whiny-white boy music also. Having a black frontman doesn’t change that any.

You’re a racist! I am right now in the process of getting all of your pertinent information and handing you over to the authorities!

and Bloc Party is awesome! Down with whiny-white boy music!

Good for Conor and Bloc Party is awesome.

Cassadaga really is an amazing album. The instrumentals are so creative. It’s music like this that you can take and make yourself fucking pertain to it. It’s sensuous. It is inevitable. This album will send you dancing just as all the others. Enjoy, kids.
