I think we have a winner.

I want to say Dave Matthews Band, but I guess you had to have a soul in the first place in order to lose it.

Def Leppard. On Through The Night and High n' Dry were the shit. Then MTV and Pyromania and pure shit that followed. Turned into a ballad salad.

i like that term, scooter; but come on, they still wrote good material throughout the 80's even if it was of the salad variety. "love bites" is a hell of a song and so is "hysteria", and most of that record is solid...yeah it's overproduced...but they were always about that, it seems.

Agreed. Point well taken. They just seemed like they should have been better than that. FWIW I liked and still like them.

RPB, you've made a couple of different references about U2 selling out, and from what I can tell, you are talking more about the tours (Bono persona) rather than the albums(the ACTUAL MUSIC).
Would you rather have them on a cardboard box with a potted plant and bongo than have the ZOOTV chaos, the POPMART arch and martini olive, or the fucking 360 claw?
Expensive production means expensive tickets.

I'm really not trying to pick a fight with you, and I like you as a poster, and I don't begrudge you your opinion.

This is an interesting article.

For my money, triple digits are worth it for a U2 show, I've just never had to pay that much.

Sorry for another U2 rant - back to the original question.
Who are the biggest sellouts?

FUCKING WEEZER.
Ever since Pinkerton, it's the SAME FUCKING SONG.
Obviously a formula that has worked for them.
A pop genius (S/T Blue) into a serious songwriter (Pinkerton) into absolute catshit ever since.

I just heard "Ball & Biscuit" on a Capt. Morgan commercial.

Wow, I'm kind of surprised by that. Jack White has turned down boatloads of money for licensing in the past, when he was less rich and famous. Don't know why he would do it now. I heard Iggy Pop's "The Passenger" in a Capt. Morgan commercial yesterday, but i don't know if he owns his catalogue or not. Integrity doen't fill the pool with Evian.

I think we have a new clubhouse leader in this thread.
I submit: 2/3 of the supergroup MFD.These quotes are taken, completely un-altered, from the "Mac's tailgate is the same day as the Darkside fest" thread. Ungrateful bastards.
