And I'm a huge fan of Anti-Flag. As someone with simialer political beliefs I dont buy the "but anti capitalists can't be on a major label" argument.
Honestly..if being on a bigger label brings the message to more people I'm all for it. If the opperunity arises in mainstream media and art to espouse ideas that are usually not expressed it makes no sense to not take it.

Dunno if they've been mentioned, but I really hate the White Stripes. Meg is a fat ugly bitch who drums worse than me (and I only played drums once).

Hmmm....
White Stripes P Diddy Fergie Nirvana AC/DC G-Unit (and derivatives) Dr. Dre Snoop Dog
But wow....there are like 20 bands I really like mentioned here. But can't we all just agree that Jay-Z is the worst 'performer' currently making music?

Lil' Chris is a shitbag, I'd love to KO him.
I also loathe Marylin Manson and any other raging rocker that can't really sing and just acts controversial to be an asshole.

Rammstein Green Day Basically every band who thinks they're political and/or controversial by saying George Bush is Hitler. Amen to everything you said. Adding to what you said, I think it's absolutely hilarious that Pink...PINK of all people had to add that "Dear Mr. President" song on her last album as an effort to be "legitimate." It's funny that this girl's entire gimmick that has been fabricated for her since the BEGINNING of her career has been to be the supposed "anti-Britney" - and by doing that, she's just as manufactured and fake as Britney is even though she so desperately does not want to be. That, and she might be an even worse singer than Britney, a feat which I thought was not possible. To add to my own list: Mariah Carey - the single worst recording artist EVER to have a #1 album or hit Gwen Stefani - the sad thing is is that I was a big No Doubt fan - and solo, she is absolutely, mind-bogglingly dumb. Justin Timberlake - His first solo album I actually liked; could his last album possibly be any more Prince wannabe?

I also loathe Marylin Manson and any other raging rocker that can't really sing and just acts controversial to be an rear canal. same as him. also, the other day i heard a band called "wolfcastle". the lead singer sounded like he was gargling, and the band was out of tune. oh yeah, and akon is a bit gay.

3 Doors Down- What exactly do they do that no one else does? Sing nonsensical lyrics about superman? Ah well, let's put anyone who sings like that in the same place as well. LOL nonsensical? That's new to me. And 3DD kicked ass when I saw them live in concert. As well as Silvertide and The Prom Kings, who opened up for them (Crossfade was supposed to be there too ) I can, actually. Not a fan of GC, but I can tell the difference between Adam's Song (Blink 182)and Still Waiting (Sum 41). I'm a big fan of Linkin Park's music, and I'm not emo. Figure that one out. I actually have NO IDEA what the hell you are talking about for the rest of that paragraph. Oh yeah, you try to make some kind of point with your "how about you contribute to society" tidbit. "Music for Relief is a program made in response to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. More recently, Music for Relief acted to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina. Created by the members of Linkin Park, all donations go directly to aid victims of disasters and their families." So there goes that idea. And Fort Minor is NOTHING like Linkin Park, other than Mike Shinoda being in both groups. Do you even read what you type, or do you just hit random keys hoping to make points? Sorry that I went on a rant there, perhaps if you read Catcher in the Rye it will unravel. My point was that their lyrics are horrible. I doubt they understand the implications of what they say. They just say... things, put it into a computer and make money. Now I had not heard about the program they created and that's great to hear. They took my advice before I said it, now if they would bless us with making some good music for a change that takes some talent to produce, then we can talk. And from what I came in contact with Fort Minor, it's pretty much the same thing. They just stripped the rock portion, you know... the good stuff? Anyway this is an opinion thread as has been stated before, so a lot of this is subjective. I prefer my music to show more talent in the musicians and I want lyrics that arn't dumbass philosophical ponderings. And as for 3 Doors Down, they even admitted those lyrics were nonsensical if I remember properly. I remember an interview where they said they were sitting around looking for song ideas and people wrote down superman and the sands of time and such, so they just made a song about it. It's not as if they wanted music with intellectual stimulation, it was just images. I hope that explains it for you. And... Here's my point. By joining the largest media based corporation in the world they basically sold their 'talent' to them. Out of all of the music they make Universal makes their own money. So they are inadvertantly benefiting the capitalist system. They also have joined in on the system to make a ton of money. Which means they are complaining about how the rich exploit the poor while helping them do the same by putting money in their wallets. it's not a matter of getting the message out, it's a matter of benefiting and joining the capitalist system. It's hypocracy. Hypocracy means saying one thing and doing another. They say capitalism sucks and then they are joining the system.

I think that both bands are very lyrically driven though. Thats what i prefer most in my music and their songs appeal to me in that aspect i guess

An an anti capitalist myself I'm not offended by it. The reality of the situation is that in in a capitalist system you will at some point have to come in contact with it.
I have to go to work everyday to support my children..I sell my labor to a bunch of people who see me as nothing more than a barrier to their bottomline and profit..a neccesary evil whose impact on their financial gain has to be curbed as much as possible..am I a hypocrite.
The fact of the matter is..the only way to really get out your opinion and not be preaching to the converted is to join a major label. They made that decision and I dont fault them for it.
As for making tons of money..I doubt albums that dont even go gold brings in a boatload of cash anyways..
