Look I'll be fair with you. A lot of people (white ) love this shit, true but if you ask me it sounds so waay generic and bland. I listened to only the 1st three i'll admit that only bcuz I didnt like the direction of where it was goin'. I can't hate on somebody who has a massive following, I'd look retarded. But if you ask me, even though some people on here dont fuck with GoGo I'd think they'd rather listen to a RawImage album than a Springsteen album anyday. I respect where your coming from but there's alot of people who aren't on the forefront of the music scene that just rock way harder than them. Bruce might be able to crank up tha guitar but he can't fuck wit Chuck Brown or my man Smoke when he on the Congas. (nobody in the EStreet Band is crankin like Smoke) You can't deny that this shit just sounds way better, well maybe to you you can have a different opinion on that.

Crank up the guitar? He's playing acoustic on the first three. And they aren't even electric songs. They are pre-rock folk songs. How is that in any way generic? Tell you what, I'll listen to everything you posted, loud on my ear phones, and I'll listen more than just a one time skim through, and I'll report back, I'll probably even like most of it, because I listen to everything. But you should do the same before you criticize. I never once on this thread made a negative comment about any go-go track you mentioned, because I'm not so bloated to dismiss what I haven't fully taken in yet.

I can't deny what sounds way better? That's like saying you can't deny salmon tastes better than steak. Two completely different tastes and some people will like one over the other. Only a fool will try and tell someone that they can't deny one tastes better than the other.

It's like my favorite music may be the kind Bruce plays, but I spend as much time listeningto hard core punk these days (Bad BRains, Black Flag), but my favouriter style of drumming to listen to is this

starting at about the 3 minute mark the guy goes on a fucking 3 minute rampage

So why are talking so hostile? Are you tryna son me or put me on some shit? Make yourself clearer next time bcuz I was surely tryna go on u. Anyways I guess u have a point but I'm still ridin' wit' da locals on this.

Hostile? I was being hostile?

I was just trying to explain my self to you. I don't bash an artist until I've taken the artist in and begun to understand what that artist or that genre is about. I bash a lot rappers, but my entire teens was consumed with hip hop. I get what it is and what it means. I've come to dislike most of it for a number of reasons but I just don't discredit a rappers sound with out knowing it a bit first.

I love music, and I give everything a solid try before I dismiss it. I've tried techno/house/drum and bass to death. I'll never like it and always think it sucks. But I don't know Go go, so I'll give it a strong whirl in the coming months. If I like it I'll tell you why, and if I don't I'll tell you why.

You don't have to listen to any Springsteen if you don't want to, but I'll never take what you think of his music seriously until you actually sit down with it and digest it for a period of time. That doesn't mean consume yourself with it, and only with it. But I'm just telling you what I feel.

What'd you think of the Buddy Rich clip? Just curious.
