DC Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 What popular bands or musicians or specific songs do you hear and think to yourself "how the hell did they ever make it big"? This may be controversial but I feel this way about Green Day. Less controversial - Ke$ha and Pit Bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them and the Offspring were one of the first pop-punk bands to get signed to a major label and get major airplay. Grunge was on its way out, so they were considered fresh and different. You could say they timed it just right when they came out with Dookie, but looking at the competition in the genre at the time, there wasn't that much competition either.

The Blackangel Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Guns N Roses Metallica Now both of them are great bands, musically speaking. But there was so much drama and fighting within the band, that I wonder how they ever made it past their demo. Not to mention egos that would outweigh the entire solar system.

Clasher Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I listen to a lot of afrobeat but this new sensation in afrobeat called portable is absolutely wack. I wonder why he is still even in music right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
