Actually the argument is pretty damn strong

talent does not equal top of the charts

top of the charts does not equal talent

and I believe given the examples provided, it actually makes sense.

"millions of people dont know s*** about music" Wow not only are you a dumbass but youre arrogant too. What makes you so special to say this? or any of your other statements about talent and peoples know-how of music for that matter? You have made it perfectly clear throughout this debate that you are, in fact, the one who doesnt know s*** about music, everything youve said is opinion and youve provided a pretty weak argument.

but having MUSICAL TALENT doesn't mean your music will be good.
look at those guitar wankers like yngwie malmsteen.

hitting the top of the charts isn't strictly about talent, as i've made perfectly clear, so your argument that these scottish bands must be good because they have ended up on the charts fails. all that tells me is that millions of people don't know s*** about music, and frankly i already knew that. i'm quite certain that you could pick out at least five artists currently on the charts whose level of musical talent could easily be called into question.

fyi, the flipside of your argument is that all those artists/bands that aren't on the charts are talented enough to have millions of fans, and i hope you realize that this is b*******.

Yes being funny is a talent but we are talking about musical talent not comedy talent. I made a reference to your comment about the bands being "garbage" and said that your statement was based purely on opinion and that you must recognise that a band is not "garbage" just because you dont like them, millions of others seem to think they have musical talent/songwriting skill which therefore means they must have some MUSICAL TALENT. And as ive said being funny is a talent but crazy frog has no musical appeal to anyone, not even the simple minded like you.

j-biebs said:
but certainly being funny is a talent.

millions of people may find cheryl cole, or boyzone, or paolo nutini talented, but that does not mean the music they create is good.

Indiekid said:
crazy frog is just a remix thing with a guy making retarded noises alongside an animation. Paolo Nutini actually writes real music and lyrics. Besides i said people were stupid for finding crazy frog FUNNY not because whoever made it is talented. People like paolo nutini for being TALENTED not for being funny.

this is a brocording said:
and some people are stupid enough to find paolo nutini good.

Indiekid said:
Ok fair enough but you do get some people who are stupid enough to find Crazy Frog funny. Funny, not talented.

this is a brocording said:

the talent is overwhelming.

and before you tell me you're talking about the albums chart, not the singles chart, this baby debuted at number five on the ALBUMS chart.

also, it is true that millions of people do not know s*** about music...what is hard to believe about that? i've been drumming for 10years playing harmonica for 3 years and listening to music for over 20 years and if asked....i would probably say that i don't know s*** about music. just because one might listen to music a lot or play a guitar doesn't mean said person knows much about music.

But would someone who has studied music for 8 years not know s*** about music? Thats how this whole thing started?

Cheryl Cole and Boyzone are both talented singers/songwriters. In my OPINION and your OPINION they are not good but i know that because millions of people listen to them to get them to number one they are talented. Your crazy frog reference is meaningless as im mostly talking about Album Charts

this is a brocording said:
*it proves how little i know about the chart system in the uk. oh well.

still though, number one on the uk album charts? paolo is right up there with boyzone and cheryl cole. he MUST be good. no number one single, though, so clearly not as good as crazy frog.

Indiekid said:
Wow that just proves how little you know. You dont get a scottish chart, that would be like having a welsh chart think about how rediculous that sounds. Paolo Nutini espacially is a no1 selling artist, his album being no1 in the UK ALBUM CHARTS. the others, im not sure, definitely had some top 5 singles and top 40 albums

this is a brocording said:
number one where? in scotland? big deal.

Indiekid said:
"garbage" lol, if its garbage then how come they have been no 1 before (Excluding the unsigned obviously) This is all just your opinion you actually have no reason to back up what youre saying

this is a brocording said:
yes, you probably will know more about scottish music than i will ever know. i'm ok with this.

you've already made it perfectly clear that you, in fact, do not know s***, based on multiple conversations we've had about music. your little friend clearly doesn't know s*** either, or he would have made a list of the scottish bands that were actually good, instead of the garbage he posted in the original post.

keep studying those bagpipes, kid. make scotland proud.

Indiekid said:
I live in Scotland you f****** twat i know more than youll ever considering im currently studying scottish music. Just because someone doesnt mention or like a particular song doesnt men they "dont know s***". You are obviously a man of low intellect.

Boyzone are irish and they are not talented, im Irish..and im proud to say their atrocious! only one of them actually sings live!

scottish music is only part of the course, i have studied several kinds

j-biebs said:

in your case, it would seem that way.

maybe the problem is that you've been studying scottish music.

its not likely, but possible. i know plenty of other Bio students who have been in all the same courses as me for the last 5 years and they don't know s*** about Bio.
