If you wrote a song like Cheryl Crow's maybe somebody would have heard of you.

cheryl crow makes awful, boring, overly-processed music. the pixies and the breeders are both brilliant.

When will you people learn that it's pop music that ruined the world?

People listen to what they like. If these non-mainstream artists are so good, why don't we hear about them more often?

people listen to mainstream because it's produced by big record labels. these labels spend millions of dollars trying to promote the music for top 40 and shit like that. the non-mainstream artists don't want to be under these labels because they usually take you in and toss you out if you don't make "pop" or "hip" music. Musicians play their own music, not the major record labels' music

When will you people realize that POP music began back in the roaring 20's goggle it or better yet ask your Grandparents or Great Grandparents.

Lots of music snobs here, both ways. How about this--everyone listen to what you like. Sound good?
And Indie music and the like can be amazing or it can be crap. Kinda like foreign films. It's hit and miss just like anything else.

it may make her puke but it also may explain why Crow sells millions and most people have never heard of Deal.

Pretty sure Sheryl Crow didn't make it this far in the music business griping at what she can't do. pretty sure she had a talent and went with it. so get off your soapbox and do something to actually be recognized for or shut up.
