a lot of those idiots are in the charts

"The charts" are hardly the only thing that music companies promote.

I am aware of that
but I was pointing that a lot of shit comes down through the music companies anyway.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I gig quite a bit and am all too aware of how many shit bands are around who think they are the bollocks. Not us though, we know we're shit.

Aye, and I'm not disagreeing that the music industry needs a kick up the bracket.
watch out though for the fine line between "shit because it isn't my taste" and "actually shit because they have no musical talent" - a lot of chart stuff is former rather than latter

that is a fine line
there are a lot of fuckers with very little musical ability around though.

The main reason I hate U2 so much is because their more recent songs sound like they have been written by children.
