Ahhhh come on. It is such an ego thing to say anything Pop is so horrid.

Everyone here raved about Lucinda Williams well ..

I do not see the big deal. Lucinda Williams writes her muic, sings and plays the guitar...

Lucinda Williams is pop? I thought she's mostly alt country/Americana.

Really SCL?
You mean she acted like a rock star!? LW wouldn't be recognized by the media if she did something like that anyway.....she's not on the media radar.
It's funny how when a "pop" star does something crazy, she's an attention-whore, but when "rock" stars do something like that, they're rock stars......particularly male rock stars.

_______________________________

If you think Ga-Ga is talentless then your sadly mistaken. You may not like her but she is anything but talentless... There is plenty that Ga-Ga can do that Lucinda Williams cannot and vice versa.

Still that is an Apple to Orange comparison. As Textile said... why can't you appreciate Lucinda Williams and dig Ga-Ga as well. I do! As far as publicity whore I could care less how much attention she gets, or does not in those sort of situations. I look at her from an artistic standpoint nothing otherwise. Yes ... she is ...an "artist".

I downloaded her album just to see...

Lady Ga-Ga cannot sing. Madonna looks like a sublime stylist and an exquisite selector of material compared to this do-nothing. And I don't have much use for Madonna.

With all the expensive production in the world behind her, Ga-Ga can't get through a single song without a bum note, or more than one.

All this thread was meant to do was to speak of Lady Ga-Ga. Now it is more of this way blown out Pop vs. non-Pop discussion and many are acting like I am totally crazy or that they would vomit at the sound of pop or Ga-Ga.

Get over yourself. Geez... Look it's a certain kind of music by an artist. I like them both. I don't think I am too cool or too intellectual to enjoy it .. Roll Eyes

. It's just light, fun music that I enjoy. I don't like all the artists. I don't like all Pop. but much of it I can enjoy...End of Story.

Can't believe all the fuss simply because a few of us happen to listen to today's Pop which is one of the many music styles that I, or some of us may enjoy.

What about Prince? Many of us on this board enjoy Prince. He can be, and is viewed as being quite Pop oriented. Many laughed when I used to say I enjoyed Prince in the real early 80's before and in a few years following Purple Rain. Now look how many dig him...

We went to the Ball game the other night and Our tickets where in the GA GA section?
Great game, the beer was cold, the fries and hot dogs were at an alright price. "The Kilroy Kids" and mom, had a great time , I don't get all the hoop-la, is this Lady Ga Ga thing something to worry about?
She looks like a young version of Bette Midler, never heard a thin she's done, sorry I guess I should give her a SPIN.........

Only if you've heard next to nothing of his back catalogue. Or if you consider explorations into jazz-fusion, or gospel-tinged concept albums as 'pop'. He's probably the most musically diverse, uncategorizable artist on the planet. He never makes two albums in a row that are remotely alike, musically.

Ian

Now?

'Purple Rain' sold about 25 million.

Some of Prince's albums in recent years have barely sold about 100,000 copies and most major labels are reluctant to touch him and vice-versa.

The notion that any artist is worthless because of some meaningless or artificial genre definition is absurd. There are only two types of music in my opinion - good and bad. However, if for some reason you' must 'categorise' any artist into genres, then I dont think you could have made a more inappropriate choice.
