It's kind of a double-edged sword, I guess. It's good when more people get into music that you like, but that also means more crowded concerts and a greater chance of annoying people entering the fan community. There's a certain satisfaction in liking something semi-obscure, but it can also lead one to wonder WHY it's so obscure.
I think there are some bands that are recognized by the general public for songs that are worse than the majority of their output. It's good that they like the band, certainly, but I can see being annoyed if all someone knows is the one big hit song.

I know what you mean, like radiohead and creep poor bastards, and sure arena gigs and bigger gigs but some bands go under if they don't get that big, it is a job as well after all, I'd rather go to see bands at bigger venues with more twats than not see any of the bands at all.

| I think that SY'S "commercial albums" are the best, from Day Dream Nation to Washing Machine is my favourite , although Sister is a really fantastic album as well.And i suppose DDN isn't that commercial but it could be considered a breakthrough album. |

Sonic Youth is one of my top 5 bands. As far as favorite song goes, I really can't say...it's really hard to choose one, two, or three favorite songs when there are so many. Teenage Riot was my favorite for a while.
I guess I just wasn't made for these times. |
