Should we buy sucky music just because the musicians are on our side?

[Magrittes Pipe]

1. No. You want evidence?

A) Alice Cooper's Love It to Death is one of the top-20 albums in rock 'n' roll history, yet the man's politics are loathsome.

B) Bush-haters Sum 41 inflicted the dreadful Does This Look Infected? upon the world, leading to almost as much pain and suffering as the entire neocon agenda.

Art for art's sake, yo.

[flamingyouth]

8. Indeed.

Agree on both counts.

[eyesroll]

9. Did you actually know offhand that Sum 41 had an album

and that album was called Does This Look Infected?

:scared:

I hope you had to look that up.

2. Donate money to the K/E campaign n/t

[Wat_Tyler]

3. No. Green Day still suck.

:evilgrin:

[MrScorpio]

4. Whiniest band EVER!!!

I can't stand their music

[Blue-Jay]

5. Take Kraftwerk, for example

Actually, I know nothing about their politics. I just wanted to point out that they SUCK.

[Magrittes Pipe]

6. You have an ass for a hat.

Douchebag.

[Blue-Jay]

10. Go listen to some Morrissey and pretend like you're thoughtful.

That ought to take a minute or two.

[asthmaticeog]

13. While I fully support making fun of Morrissey,

this anti-Kraftwerk jibberjabber of yours will not stand, sir. En garde!

[Wat_Tyler]

7. You're like the evil Hedges.

Apparently Kraftwerk are a bunch of Marxists.

[Beware the Beast Man]

11. Barry Manilow's on board.

But I'm not rushing out to buy his tripe...

[asthmaticeog]

12. I didn't buy any Dixie Chicks,

and I sure as shit ain't buying no goddamn Green Day. There are righteous bands that don't suck whose records I can't afford right now. And if I happen across some spare cash (note to self - don't say "come across" with hedges already present on the thread), I'll send it to the DNC, not fucking Warner Bros or Sony.

14. I love Dixie Chicks and Green Day, so..

I have no problem there. As for me buying artists on our side I don't like, it depends on if they at least have a few singles that I like on an album.
