I'm in agreement here. It's the main reason why I can't stand this song and I'd probably why I only tolerate "Blame It On Me."

Terrible voice is the reason I dislike "Lampshades On Fire"

Most British singers tend to tone down their accents while singing. I wish he did too. I mean seriously, "Golden grahhnd piano", "Ah di bi doe", "My friends and fahhmily". Probably the main reason why I don't like this song. That and it's fairly boring. Also, "Lampshades On Fire" has 100x better singing than this. *cough Lordefβ ones cough*

Lately a lot of the newer singers from Britain have been singing with accents. Ed Sheeran, for example. Kate Nash. I think Lily Allen.

I won't fault him if he wants to sing in his native accent (which judging from the 1 interview I've seen with him, it really is). Much better than trying to fake an accent like Madonna or something lol.

I just find this type of song silly. Adoobi doe yababa dabba doo or whatever he says. What's the matter? Couldn't he find the words to rhyme?

Introducing the latest episode of Pop Posters vs. Rock Posters. Devil Marlena Nylund isn't a pop poster, if anything he's pretty multi-format with pop and alternative. Anyways Mike, I feel your pain haha. I don't like this song obviously, but you being alone in this thread reminds me of myself in the Tove Lo thread while "Habits" was charting LOL

Was I the one being called a pop poster because a) even if I was, does that mean my opinion is somehow less valid and b) I don't restrict myself by genre that much. Anyways Mike, I feel your pain haha. I don't like this song obviously, but you being alone in this thread reminds me of myself in the Tove Lo thread while "Habits" was charting LOL haha yeah. It's just that the same discussion happening in every thread involving an AAA song that is doing well on alternative is getting annoying and stupid now. Why isn't the same discussion happening in threads for songs doing well on Active and Alternative? (as we discussed lol). The hypocrisy.

Because for threads for Active songs, as Cody would describe them, people would complain, "WTF ALTERNATIVE!!!!!!!!!!" when the song flops.

I used to be one of those "WTF ALTERNATIVE" guys, but since I now actually pay attention to the Active chart, not so much anymore. I just don't find the appeal in all these AAA songs. Probably cause I like Active Rock (and I grew up with an Active-leaning Alternative era).

I still hold firm that Alt is currently better than Active, though most of their best songs are in the middle to bottom of the chart. Active does have a better #1 though.

I like both Active and Alternative, though I don't like some songs on the former (e.g. Custer)

If that's how you feel, stop trolling threads for AAA-leaning songs because people could just as easily go into threads for Active songs and post the same annoying posts you do every other day.

If they want to express their opinions, let them do it for all I care. They have every right to do so. also, it's not pointless you motherfucker, you asked for why we complained about Aaa and not Active, and the answer is because the Active songs are better. I'd much rather hear a good song on multiple formats than a crap one. It's not hypocrisy, it's bout quality. If there is a good AAA song, then I'd have no problem with Alt playing it. The problem is most of the AAA crossovers have not been good.

Wow.
First of all, reported.
Secondly. Are you really going to try to post your opinion as fact? Why would you expect me or anyone else to accept your version of 'quality'? What if I said AAA music is 'higher quality' than active rock music? Then who's right? Neither because it's all opinion. Just because you don't think something is good, doesn't mean the world agrees. I happen to disagree almost completely with you. I'm not saying my opinion is any more right than yours. I'm saying opinions aren't fact and you need to learn and accept that, lest I start going into every active rock song thread and trolling how awful the songs are because they are too hard for my idea of what alternative should be.

First of all, I want to clear any misconceptions about Green Baron
1. If you knew Green Baron's posts well, you know that sometimes his rants are quite anger-driven. I am not condoning his response but I (and some of the rock posters) am used to it. 2. It is not true that Green Baron hates all AAA hits. He actually likes some AAA songs. I'll give you a list: Hozier's "Take Me to Church", Spoon's "Do You", The Decemberists' "Make You Better", The Unlikely Candidates' "Follow My Feet". It just happens that the bigger hits are the ones he does not like. 3. It is also not true that Green Baron likes all of the active rock songs. In particular, he does not like cock rock. Here is a list of active rock songs that he does not like: Godsmack's "1000HP" and "Something Different", Pop Evil's "Deal with the Devil", All That Remains' "What If I Was Nothing", Korn's "Never Never" and "Spike In My Veins". It also happens that those active rock songs that he likes are not doing well on alternative. 4. This song is probably done on alternative (bullet of -85 today) and there is no point complaining about it's alternative success. Whatever is done is done.
I respect both of Green Baron's and the Max's opinions, but I hope that this can help to clear any misunderstandings.

George is confused as to how this turned into such a heated argument. Sure, the overwhelming and continuous hatred of some songs on this forum can get annoying at times, but boil it down to the core and it's people just sharing their opinions. I don't mind seeing people hate on songs that I enjoy or enjoying songs I despise because varied music taste is one of my favorite parts about being on this forum. Opinions being passed off as fact as like Baron posted above (and others post)is silly, but pretty easy to ignore. Also Daryl the Beryl that's a solid Green Baron analysis. Looks like you're preparing to write your thesis on the Pulse Rock Board

You asked how come people didn't complain about Active and Alt but they did about AAA and Alt, and I said I didn't because the Active songs were higher quality. That's obviously an opinion, opinions don't equal fact obviously. So stop that shit.

Fair enough. So therefore the reason why AAA songs are doing well on Alternative is because of quality. They're doing better than Active Rock songs because they're higher quality. Simple as that.

But it gets to a point where it becomes trolling and it becomes annoying.

I don't care what does well on either format anymore. I don't have a station with either format in my area, so I don't even pay that much attention to this topic. If a song is on either Alternative or Active and not the other and should be. Music is music. I hope a song or band that I like succeeds somewhere. That's about it.
