You have to put Under the Bridge in the context of the album it's on, which is one of the best records of the 90's.

So how is that different to this:
I do, and I agree. Their old material rocks. Their new stuff, I can't actually stand to hear it.

I'm not even sure what we're arguing about now.
By the time the Arctic Monkeys have 7 records, I'll probably still not like their old stuff.

All i was doing was pointing out an interesting but cliched response from yourself.
The irony is that you also pointed that out.

(Sep 6 06, 07:12)agreed. RHCP will always rule, no matter what they continue to release. They don't need to prove anything anymore.
Flea will go down in history as one of the most influential bass players. John frusciante rocks too.
I like that flea and chad smith spend lots of time teaching and doing clinics for young musicians. How many other rocks stars would do that?

Arctic Monkeys suck.

(Sep 6 06, 04:16)As the Mercury is a very well respected award in the music industry I would say this is quite a sweeping statement. They may suck in your eyes but they are doing something right.
Sorry I forgot that only mentioning non commercial bands that only 4 people have heard of and slagging anything popular off is the "cool" thing to do

Discovering old music you never knew will always be the best new music you will find...

(Sep 6 06, 07:15)Using the "cliche" is perfectly valid in terms of the rhcp's. And the fact the of the matter is that artists do get worn and tired by the industry, and forced to produce records when they have nothing left to talk about.... hence the cliche is, and always will be valid.

They say the Mercury prize is a kiss of death for the winner...

I firmly believe it's hip to be square. Fuck yeah, Huey.

Didn't Craig David wina Mercury?
He's had a stellar career since then

the considerable thing about the arctic monkeys is that how a band releasing a CD in spring can get a 'best in british' award at the end of summer. this has been very quick. arctic monkeys have been made by word of mouth and not slick marketing tools as suede and pulp in the 90's. i just think it is a considerable event in a conservative country like britain to go with such a climatic choice for album of the year. long make it continue!

ah, the old, 'you can't like a band cos they're cool' cool backlash.
I happen to think they're shit too, and its got nothing to do with whether they are currently the in thing or not.
- kelpie0
you should know that in pop music terms, Britain is aaaaall about jumping on teh new thing and discarding it as quickly as the next one comes along. Regardless of whether teh albums any good or not, theirs no reason to congratulate anyone for taking the predictable decision to mirror the latest biggest hype...

kelpie's doing the old "you can't like a band cos they're cool cool backlash" to be cool
:P
