Of course that's true, but I think that sometimes people (in general) take the term 'underground' as a stamp of quality and therefore supposedly coolness.

(and very basic music at that)

I'd like to see Devin Townsend dance like Britney.....

I am willing to bet none - they are all 'underground' bands. So are Sonic Youth.

For you to dub anything that isn't featured on Radio One everyday or in the Sun week in week out as 'pish' is fucking ignorant at best.

If I were to come along and say that all 'rap' was 'shite' without having a clue about the music I would be laughed off the board. (I wouldn't do that anyway, cos I like a load of rap stuff)

Wondah Vocal, like it or not YOUR music is 'underground' - no-one has heard of you and you aren't troubling the charts (or even A&R men) - does that mean you are 'pish'??

Think before you mouth off, you Tayside Gangsta.

ive heard of 5 of them.

well if bands that get major radio play aren't as good as some underground bands why arent the underground bands gettin major radio play.

yes actully, i am pretty pish i guess. but you liked the track i sent you.

i do think before i post, i was just asking a genuine question.

"well if bands that get major radio play aren't as good as some underground bands why arent the underground bands gettin major radio play."

Yeah but you've probably not heard any real underground music, so your opinion is irrelevant. Sorry.

I'm clever enough to appreciate some cult films. Not that one.

'Underground' does not define a style of music or it's quality. A band is 'underground' until it becomes popular or fades away.
