NME have a lot to answer for

justgirl [Edit] [Delete] 17:03, 12 April '04
Warning, silly pointless rant alert.....

Is it just me that thinks NME ridiculously overrate bands? The whole new 'rock revolution' bands that they can't stop raving about, they all sound exactly the same as the next 'rock revolution' band. And most of them don't seem to be pushing new boundaries, as it's all been done before. I admit that there are a few bands that are different and have potential, but the rest just blur into one droney noise.
I know some of you will just say don't buy the mag or the bands music if I don't like it. And no I don't go out and buy albums because NME say it's good, but it is funny to read what they think about these 'rock revolution ' bands. And what is worse is that people will go buy what the mag recommends because they are told that the music's cool, and they don't look further than NME for new music. I have a friend who thinks that if the band aren't in NME, there not worth anything. It winds me up.
