I'm rolling my eyes so far back that I think I can see my brain. - WarpFox, on 11/19/2007, -3/+46You misunderstand. He does not mean for you to download them with immediacy, the submitter is implying that for you to get true enjoyment from these songs, you must download them all AT THE SAME TIME. Try it.
- Hermmunster, on 11/19/2007, -1/+33Bands make 7% of the sales on any album. The recording industry gets 93% of the money from the sales of an album. That means that an artist makes $.07 per song per album. Where artists make their money is off touring and merchandising. Unfortunately the RIAA wants a piece of that from the artists. It does not deserve that money.
Answer me this? Who is raping them more, the person stealing .07 from the artist or the RIAA taking $.93? I think you will agree that it is the recording industry taking the money from the artists. How can anyone feel bad about taking $.93 from the recording industry which has a history of abusing its position and raping the artists. BTW, most artists don't own their own masters, so all the work done all the creative elements are owned by the recording industry, not the artists.
What this means is that the artists should/can no longer need to rely on the recording industry to make their money. The internet can and should be their distribution system. Solid independent companies that perform mixing will crop up that the artists can use to clean up the sound and package the content for internet distribution.
That's how it should have been done all along. The only negative impact of this is that artists will be required to know more about how to package their mix and package their music. I'm sure those are short lessons that will benefit them in the long run.
This is what has the RIAA more worried than song downloaders. - MalachiConstant, on 11/19/2007, -7/+29Weak list.
Who are these White Stripes you speak of? Pearl Jam, I've never heard of them! With a name like Radiohead, you'll never make it in this town.
Dugg down for *****. - inactive, on 11/19/2007, -5/+22Cursive and the Weakerthans are awesome. :)
- dirigibleduck, on 11/19/2007, -3/+19I would download them "at once," but I'm on a college campus right now, and that sorta stuff can land a man in trouble.
- elipodio, on 11/19/2007, -0/+16"The following bands many not be getting rich from their art because of pirating and contracts that rape them of well deserved royalties but they sure do put out some incredible music."
Something tells me that the White Stripes, Radiohead, Eddie Vedder, and Pearl Jam are a-ok financially. Otherwise, a decent list of artists, but the song choices could improve. - t1m0j5, on 11/19/2007, -0/+15you know them, so someone knows of the unknown band
- GonadHunter, on 11/19/2007, -0/+15or a working mirror
- superal1394, on 11/19/2007, -6/+20Aw, no Muse
- inactive, on 11/19/2007, -3/+16In all fairness, wasn't that the purpose of Myspace from the start?
- Johnka, on 11/19/2007, -3/+16You had me at the rapper-bashing.
- elipodio, on 11/19/2007, -2/+14Radiohead= instant ticket to front page.
- elnerdo, on 11/19/2007, -11/+21Did you REALLY just link to myspace?
Go away and never come back. - inactive, on 11/19/2007, -3/+13It is always fun to see a new website finally realize how to gmae Digg's algorithm. ifilm did it recently, and now coedmagazine.
These are sites that tried submitting stories in the past and doing nothing else. Finally they wised up and realized that they absolutely MUST create multiple accoounts to give it that initial set of Diggs to get it seen. And now they are getting to the front page with every submission.
"DIGG: Where the front page, is just a few paid diggers away!" - boredsam, on 11/19/2007, -0/+9if the artist gets 7% and the record company gets 93%, then the retailers get 0%? I think your numbers are off.
- mexicanman07, on 11/19/2007, -0/+9or maybe he is a nobody and doesn't count
- BlinkSumGreen, on 11/19/2007, -1/+8Pussy
- CannedMango, on 11/19/2007, -1/+8but these are the top 20 alt-rock songs that you've never heard of
- heypetray, on 11/19/2007, -4/+9There's tons of intelligent hip hop.
Deltron 3030, Atmosphere, Aesop, Blackalicious, Living Legends, Jedi Mind Tricks, Hieroglyphics, just to name a few..
Gotta look past BET to find REAL hip hop. - elipodio, on 11/19/2007, -4/+9"Rise Against is very good, they're a modern day RATM."
Yes, because they both have "Against" in their name. Aside from that, I disagree. - heartcoldfusion, on 11/19/2007, -0/+5Indie music has turned into a retarded and ridiculous popularity contest.
"and they will ruin rock and roll and strangle everything we love about it."
"And then it just becomes an industry of... cool."
-Almost Famous. - DRINKxREDxBULL, on 11/19/2007, -0/+5Aren't those all hard frock bands? I think you are missing the point of the article? Where is the Mozart??
- JordanTW90, on 11/19/2007, -0/+4Because being on a game for people who cant play guitar makes you a good band...
- ChzPlz, on 11/19/2007, -1/+5One Great City! is a damn good Weakerthans song. And I don't even hate Winnipeg.
- bwdd, on 11/19/2007, -1/+5Same, but preferably an RAR.
- Christbait, on 11/19/2007, -3/+7It's just a website.
- jasarien, on 11/19/2007, -0/+4I agree. I don't like to be told that I must do something. Just because this person likes these artists and their songs, doesn't mean I will. In fact after checking the list of songs, I brought myself to the conclusion that most of the bands listed have been previously added to my "will not listen to ever again" list. Reason? For the lack of 'good'.
- svenathon, on 11/19/2007, -1/+4A sci-fi theme makes it bad? Del has some really nice flow, and theyre pretty good albums.
/anyone here miss OiNK as much as I do? - bsolidgold, on 11/19/2007, -5/+8Why do we have to bury this guy? He probably started posting this before the one above it showed up. He's just trying to be helpful.
- bennyfreshness, on 11/19/2007, -3/+6weight of time is a great tune, to all who digg you down for that comment, their loss
- mattb5, on 11/20/2007, -0/+3Next best thing http://www.seeqpod.com/music/?plid=5f3f1cd710
- liquisoft, on 11/19/2007, -0/+3Buried for being completely irrelevant and pointless, not to mention 100% opinion and 0% fact.
Had this been a post about "20 alt-rock songs you should buy because they have all changed their respective genre in ways that are proven and factual" I think more people would be apt to, you know, NOT bury this. - Benbot, on 11/19/2007, -0/+3This list is really quite lame. There is much better indie/alt rock out there. I can't believe terrible bands like Rooney, the editors and jimmy eat world are on here. And come one "20 songs you've never heard of" .....who hasn't heard pearl jam and radiohead
- goingtoalpha, on 11/19/2007, -0/+3job for a cowboy? soulfly?
talent?
One primarily uses fake harmonics and open string triplets and the other only uses two strings.
Talent isn't exactly the right word.
Max should have stayed in Sepultura. - adamriggins, on 11/19/2007, -4/+7Dugg for The Decemberists!

all freaking awesome hip hop. Enjoy. - typicalusername, on 11/19/2007, -0/+3Are you one of those Prince lovers?
- hmunkey, on 11/19/2007, -1/+4No Muse?
- heartcoldfusion, on 11/19/2007, -2/+5Did you just liken Bright Eyes to Bob Dylan?
- speerross, on 11/19/2007, -0/+3"The venture capitalists for YouTube made almost a BILLBION DOLLARS (more than the creators), and they did absolutely nothing for the site."
You're completely correct, and I completely disagree this state of affairs is right, just or necessary. The 'Venture Capitalists' can go and ***** themselves, seriously ***** those rich people - the people who created that site deserved 100% of that money, not a bunch of people already too rich for their own good - goingtoalpha, on 11/19/2007, -3/+5dont forget Cage, Eyedea, Camu Tao, Mr Lif, Alias, Ehrin. Just about anyone else on Def Jux or Anticon (not too big of a Rhymesayers fan).
- inactive, on 11/19/2007, -1/+3Holy ***** that's a horrible list of bands.
- meshman, on 11/19/2007, -0/+2"The following bands many not be getting rich from their art because of pirating and contracts that rape them of well deserved royalties"
Did you read the contract? No. Did you have a lawyer read the contract? It seems not. Did you sign the contract? Then STFU and deal with it. - yohnstoppable, on 11/19/2007, -0/+2Yup. Problem is a select few with a ***** of friends control 99% of the digg content. The rest is multiple accounts that get garbage to the front
- briguyd, on 11/19/2007, -0/+2Dugg for Say Anything. One of the most underrated bands out there.
Download "A Walk Through Hell", it's one of their finest. - jotate, on 11/19/2007, -1/+3Looks like a copy paste from an alternative station's current play list. Lame.
