if everyone agrees that the band 'the darkness' sucks, why are they getting so much time on tv & radio?

They really do suck.  A lot.

It's going down the toilet that's for sure. Endless greed by record companies have killed off originality and controlled what the people want to hear. It's almost like an assembly cookie-cutter factory....to be a successful artists one must either look a certain way, behave slutty or show cleavage with plenty of pelvic thrustings while singing about "getting it on" with anything that comes in close proximity with the listener. It's all about image nowadays and nothing about actual real and creative music writing.\n\nListen to Enya, Pink Floyd, Rush, James Last (great remakes!! Even better than rap :) ), ABBA, AC/DC, Joe Satriani (early stuff), Steve Vai, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elton John, Billy Joel, Van Halen, Led Zep, Vangelis and a few others...too many to mention. These artists knew/know how to put together great melodies and sounds. Today's music  is filled mostly with crap unfortunately.....it's a shame that a lot of the younger listeners aren't introduced to much of these artist's songs. Rap/hiphop crap is the "Lord Of The Flies" mentality of much of today's tribe-like clique life in younger folk. Time to educate the ears and widen the palette. :) The music industry once made their bread and butter off of these artists and shunned most of the talentless ones....now it's the other way around. You don't see too many good ugly singers or musicians....everyone has to be "beautiful" or full bodied without much care of the voice or instrument playing abilities. Rollingstone magazine dumped on Steve Vai for years because he is unbelievably good...Steve Vai!!!! Meanwhile, punk-@ssed teen bands come through because their music contains a lot of angst and anger which is what can sell products to the listeners as the record industry feels that the music can relate better with younger folks. It's no longer about music, it's all about profit. And then they wonder why people aren't buying music anymore or not going to the movies as much. Too much vomit out there.\n\nGood day.

They started out as music television, so they aren't going to change the name of the network now. As for all of the reality shows, that is what is popular now and what people watch, so that is why they are on. I think it sucks too, but they are all about making money and that is what makes the most money for them now.

well it was him. but you also have to remember that they've been doing concerts every night for a couple months so he's probably either really tired or he just doesn't want to give the same performance.... but i definitely agree with you it really sucked. but i saw them in concert and they were awesome so don't think that they always suck, this may be just one bad performance(on nat'l tv)

The Older generation think that they still write songs like "Just Can't get enough" and haven't listened to anything since then. Other people think they are too morbid ala "Black Clelebration" and the youth today can't identify themselves with them. They are still a great band who are underated by the general public, but try as I might I cannot get any of my friends to listen to them

well dont worry about what the youth are going to hear on the radio. its not like they listen to it that much in reality. as compared to the lyrics they have on the ablums they are buying...  and the new age cartoons designed for mature audiences.. which does not mean that their 3 yrs old little brother is not watching at the same time his older bros' and sisters are, why not its a cartoon in fact.... and they have some weird stuff on tv... really weird. people putting gerbils in ungodly cavity's- kids batting off with condoms on... what about south park ?  do you know that the CIA own fox tv.... lol... that all profit made from coca cola , KFC and mac donalds go back to isreal to buy weapons... many more brands than this...   the real problem is that we are slowly being programmed to be immune to the crap that is on tv.. remember in the 60's how psycho would of made you poop ya pants... but now......... you be thinking quick change the channel .. that is some boring crap....  so it gets back to being decensortised? if thats how you spell it... lol....  its the new age society the governments are breeding and they are now starting with the youth of today who will be the adults of tomorrow..  when you think you are paying too much taxs... your health system is being a shambles.. and you hear of the middle east what a horror it is... remember this one point.. Dubai.. has 1% interest.... crime rate is 0 ... and its one of the cleanest cities in the world.... and more over populated becasue of the influx of the immigrants who flock to it becasue of the higher paying wages. and why is everything so cheap over there... seems to me.... our governments in the west are dictating to much ideals..... that they want us to follow.. to make them more powerful and take our own rights away from us....  and put crap on all the other countries who are less.. i will have to even say.. that indonesia (bali) is abotu 6 times cheaper than australia for the same name brand items...  and why .... again because our society is riping us off.... and it all starts with the chocolates that are packed low at the counter at the supermarket right at kids eye levels..... the media...... and you.. because you have choices..... and you choose...... your own way of life... you can say no........ just do it...  actually nike is one of them company;s that support isreal also...

Those who say they suck are generally just trying to get a rise outta older folks who grew up listening to them. You've said it yourself, no group with 27 #1 hits, that has thousands of current artists saying the Beatles influenced them, sucks....that's just the ramblings of pathetic, ignorant little dweebs who think it's cool to hate everything.\n\nBTW, the Beatles were the only group in history occupy the top 5 spots on the charts....Fab Four had five of the most popular singles with Can't Buy Me Love in the top spot, and Twist and Shout, She Loves You, I Want to Hold Your Hand and Please Please Me rounding out the Top 5 in 1964. \n\nLet's see someone else who "sucks" do that....

Emo could perhaps be the worst music assaulted on our senses today. The whole point it seems, is to sound as shitty as the previous band. You have to make sure you take 3 stupid words and put them together in a retarded fashion for your band name (note: try words like "november", "blood", "fashion"), Then have some jackass sing all high-pitched about some girl he likes at school, while the bass player tries his best to mimic Norwegian Death Metal all the while sounding like crap. Yes Emo is the new Butt-Rock and in 10 years time, sad looking 30 year-olds with bad haircuts, will be pumping gas in a My Chemical Romance t-shirt.

I agree. I find them very tiresome. But then there are so many tiresome artists with so many fans (eg. Bon Jovi, Kelly Clarkson, Nickelback I could go on). So the question is not why do people like Greenday but why do people like all this humdrum monotonous crap going around.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhHHHHhhhhHHhhhHHH ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! CAN'T STAND IT.... IM SORRY TO DISAGREE WITH YOU , BUT I REALLY THINK THEY ARE THE WORST BAND EVER... I MEAN, DID U KNOW THEY DO PLAYBACK, THEY DON'T WRITE THEIR OWN SONGS, THEY PRETEND TO PLAY INSTRUMENTS, THEY ARE ACTORS PRETENDING TO BE SINGERS (MOST OF THEM)... BASICALLY THEY ARE A "MADE" BAND.. \n\nPD THE ONLY NICE THING IS THAT THE GIRLS ARE HOT JAJA

Anissia B, you are an ignorant dolt. Without the Beatles, half of music out today would not even exist. Like them or not (you have to like them) they made an incredible contribution to music as a whole. By saying they suck, you are just stepping forward and saying "Hello. I know nothing about music and like to watch MTV. Let's go to Abercrombie and buy pre-ripped jeans for $150.00. *Giggle*"\n\nThink before you talk and you won't look so stupid.

My personal opinion as to why everyone is now a Green Day fan is that they have what is commonly reffered to as "selling out".  Large music lables dish out millions and millions to promote artists albums, and in return, get air time, national tours in large venues, and thier latest single played on Mtv (the same corporation that tells you what to think, what to say, and what to listen to).  It is because people are being force-fed this mainstream bullshit pop music, that people have infatuations with a particular group for an extended period of time.  Also, to make more money for the record executives, bands sometimes release up to five singles off of just one album.  This creates the illusion that the CD is doing well, and continues to place the band in the spotlight, in return, making more money.  Bands with little or no talent (Maroon 5) can ride an album for over 2 years without producing any new material.

Because MTV tells them they're good, so they mindlessly believe them.  Many bands popularity are soley because of the exposure they get on MTV, not because of their actual talent.
