I take the point.
They are not my favourite artists and come pretty well near the bottom of the list. I will admit that. I think both have been grossly overrated but they do have some talent. Just because someone has had huge success does not mean I have to like them.
I think that what we all mean is pretty simple. Compared to The Beatles or Elvis these two acts suck bigtime. But so does most everybody else. The comparison you seem to make is a bit like saying nursery rhymes are as good or better than Beethoven because more folk listen to them.


I think we all know that digital downloads is the now and the future. That is a given. That is why I never mentioned it in my previous post.
