Ok this is it for me. If you want to continue this debate send me a pm. I don't want to waste any more space on this thread with this because it's just going around in circles.
Mike I am speaking for myself.....

I have a question - If it is selfish for bands not to take their fans into account, then is it a sellout if they do? You know the majortity wants to hear the hits. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. I just think we put unreasonable expectations on artists.

This is funny, actually - on PE I was disappointed with the way some of the people talk to each other when they disagree. So I said to some of them basically what you did, that I didn't want to keep going back and forth. So here, we're having an actual discussion, and the same thing happens.

That's ok Mike. I don't want to pm, I was just making some points in a forum, no problem.
