X Factor versus Rage Against the Machine

[purepurple]

So which one do you want to be Christmas number 1?
I have downloaded RATM.

it's not so much about as to anyone 'giving a shit',i think (to me at least) it is about people being bored of hearing the same old boring pop songs on the radio. sure,if i wanna listen to rock music so desperately i can turn the radio over to Kerrang radio. but some of us actually wanna listen to a diverse mix,so will put on ur standard staion like Absolute etc. at least they play a decent mix of music and dont just spew out what is deemed popular for that time.

anyway i give this Joe kid 15 mins before he disappears off into the bargain bins of HMV.

I don't listen the pop radio, I don't watch X-Factor, I don't give a flying toss who is no 1. But I like RATM a lot. And I don't like cute little pop songs in general. I want my 'pop' music to be loud and raucous and adrenalin making. If I want gentle, melodious and uplifting I go for a composer born before 1900.

motherfucker yeah!

take the power back!

i love rage!

oh, and i couldnt give a toss about xmas no 1, but i have downloaded killing in the name twice

Both at once!
not safe for work due to use of f-word!

lmfao heathen!

RATM - flip, that takes me back a bit. Proper music where no-one cares what you look like, or wants to interview you for pointless teenage/chat magazines.

joe joe joe!

Anyone mentioned the slightly bonkers, but brilliant, Bob Dylan track yet?

Yes, it's been mentioned. But this campaign is not about depriving Simon Cowell of money.

Has anyone heard the Bob Dylan one? I know its a bit nuts but I think I might just love it quite a lot

Its Christmassy too!

Ooooh feetheart you and me both!

What is this song? Where can I hear it?

"Yes, it's been mentioned. But this campaign is not about depriving Simon Cowell of money."

What is it about?

It's definitely not stoppping corporations from running the charts
It's also not about real music (as opposed to fake music )

If you like RATM then sure, buy the single, but why the "campaign"?

Also, the last time I cared about the Xmas no.1, I was very young. And to the best of my knowledge, the no.1 still mainly matters to the youngest of listeners. Why do small children need RATM to be No.1? Most of them wont be allowed to listen to it because of the profanity anyway.

Kaloki, if you don't give a damn, then just ignore it. Simples.

But I'm genuinely curious..

I believe there's a radio edit.

Surely Simon Cowell doesn't actually own Sony? is it not more likely that his company is owned by Sony?

And if he does own Sony, maybe he could stop popping up on the telly to annoy us, and just stay at home rolling round on a big pile of cash all day...

LOVE Killing in the Name but, just out of interest, how many of you listen to Amazing Radio? All the music played on there is from unsigned bands and they put their songs their songs onto Amazingtunes.com and get 70% of the money that people pay to download the tracks. It is brilliant and totally diverse. Give it a try!

lol seriously?? my 3yo rocks out to it all the time

"lol seriously?? my 3yo rocks out to it all the time"

Fair enough I know loads of people who wont allow their kids to listen to songs with profanity though

Just read this -

Cowell won?t benefit financial from this, it doesn?t matter if both parties are involved in Sony. Rage own the publishing rights and are signed to Epic which is an imprint.

what's bob released then? the thought of him doing a christmas album is quite funny.

just listened to the ratm dirge song, you people really like that shite?

DS#1's favourite band is Green Day. So bang goes the idea of not letting DC listen to profanity
