This has been brought up to me a few times now by different people. Does anyone notice that when you find a song and really like it that all of a sudden it's released as a single and then EVERYONE likes it? Pretty soon you seem like a bandwagon fan in some people's eyes. Technically, it just proves we have very good taste. This has happened to me on a few occasions. Getting Away with Murder by Papa Roach is one that bugs me because now it's everywhere and I loved that song before it was popular. Same with the song by Jet. I think it's called Look What You've Done.
BTW, if you haven't seen the Jet video for that song, check it out on Launch. It's awesome. Total fluff massacre. Now that's entertainment.

I was just thinking about that the other day. I hate it when one of my favorite songs become the second or third single off an album. *cough*Boulevard Of Broken Dreams*cough* As long as Give Me Novacaine is never a single, yay.

Boulevard of Broken Dreams rocks. See? I liked that one, too. I didn't know it was Greenday and I didn't know the name of the song. I just thought it was I Walk Alone or something like that. I just knew that I liked it and then suddenly everyone liked it. Sucks to be trendsetters, doesn't it?

For me it was Numb and Breaking the Habit from Linkin Park's Meteora. Fortunalty, Uncalm, one of my favorite 311 songs, was never made a single.

Yeah, I'm definitely an LP fan and Numb was my favorite off Meteora (speaking of... it's quite interesting how much their two albums parallel each other...). I hated having that one come out as a single. I also hated Breaking the Habit coming out because of the significance of that song to the band, but at the same time it was kinda nice to let that one out of the bag.

you know, i used to have that problem way back when. then i quit listening to the radio... seriously. I have over 700 cds that i actually bought (this doesnt even scratch the surface of the mp3 collection i downloaded). So through my vast network of friends (Big John always knows how to hook a brutha up), record stores (ill pick something up just to try it out), and reading stuff life Guitar World, i've continued to keep abreast in the music world. Granted, i'll turn on MTV from time to time, but when you see something once or twice, it doesn't get to that point of overplaying and commercialization that just pisses you off. Wel, that and they usually dont play the stuff i like anyways.

This is true... MTV has gone teeny-bopper/raptastic powercrap in the last several years. That and all their stupid shows. There was a point in time where they actually played videos on there (i.e. the 120 Minutes era), but now it's just terrible. Fuse is much better for finding decent music and the radio, well, that just depends where you are, but I agree they tend to play songs to death and destroy them.

MTV is a pale shadow of what it used to be back in the 80s. Poor kids growing up nowadays will never know of the greatness MTV used to have.

haha, i love how the sports forum spilled over into the music forum. but its all good, as long as i dont have to hear about how clemson's fight song is the best piece of musical mastery ever written repeatedly. Unless it was written by Metallica, i shant believe it.

Headbanging to Tiger Rag seems a tiny bit odd to me, though... We don't want our drum majors getting set on fire either, lol

Well, that's true. A rock-inspired version would be interesting, if nothing else.

Rag is right.
Very ragtime sounding. However...I could see someone headbanging to it. :wink:

Definitely a ragtime piece. Was first composed in the '20s. It, of course, sounds a lot different now, than it did then.
