I don't think it's a case of the record companies giving the 'acts' of today any new material, it's the fact that the 'acts' themselves are completely incapable of coming up with original content. I mean let's face it, if you give any boy/girl band member a musical instrument to play, they'd give you a blank look and ask you what they're supposed to do with it.
So the record companies have to give them cover versions to murder otherwise they wouldn't release anything.
I say we storm the record stores and have a mass burning of shite CDs. Viva la revolution!

*sings* Lovely SPAM, wonderful SPAM!...
OK. I'm going to set up the Campaign For Real Music. Someone's got to make a stand against this wall of banality and mediocrity sweeping through our charts.
Who's with me?
Christina Aguilera & Missy Elliot's cover of Car Wash.
Why oh why can't they just leave them alone?
*weeps for the ghost of real music*
It should be illegal for record companies to just hand out songs for new 'acts' to do cover versions of. Let them write their own material for a change and get some originality into the charts.
I find it ironic that Britney Spears has released a 'Greatest Hits' album. I envisaged 70mins of silence... :P
<----- I bear a startling resemblance to Gordon Freeman. (He's the character you play in Half Life)
Has to be that version of Queen's We Will Rock You by Five.
I would personally like to put Brian May up against a wall and shoot him for allowing such a dire cover to be produced. No-one should be allowed to cover Queen songs, ever.
Oh, that's good. So it's not a flounce?
A mini-flounce maybe?
Can I have the same for my 30th?
Please? I've been ever such a good boy...
Damn it, that Steve's a lucky bugger...
Ooh, great comeback there... :twisted:
That'll be the one... :smitten:
