[edit] who wrote this?
C'mon, I hate boston as much as the next radio-classic-rock band, but did someone seriously write this with encyclopedic intentions? it's written like a hipster prick who can't get anyone at the vinyl store to listen to his rants, since they've already moved on to complaining how derivative Radiohead is instead of picking on easy targets like Linkin Park. This is an encyclopedia; it is not INFORMATIVE for a visitor to see a selective list of bands that SOME group of people may consider lacking creativity. It's so thinly veiled too, "It's difficult to label bands as part of this genre, but ONE CAN QUITE EASILY list some of the bands that have been vilified by critics..." C'mon, you're fooling no one. I would vote to kill the page entirely, offer information about bands and genres, and leave the pathos to the blogs and indie myspace pages. Or at least rewrite the article intelligently. 70.79.2.180 18:42, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] artical contains misinformation
I disagree with the information given in this artical. "Corporate Rock" as being defined as rock lacking creativity is an unfair misjudgement made by those who don't like the sound of this certain type of music. In factuallity most of the bands listed here as "corporate rock" were actually very creative in they're work, and the fans of those bands would dislike this label of their music. I propose that this artical be changed to express the idea that the label "corporate rock" is nothing more than a biased criticism of a certain genre of music, and shouldn't be given any credit for accuracy beyond that.
- The article already makes clear that "corporate rock" is just the opinion of a certain group of rock critics, nothing more. Fortunately, rock critics have little influence in the rock world. Wasted Time R 00:45, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "all rock groups are corporations designed to make money"
That is simply not true. There are bands which do not sell their songs nor charge for admission to their shows. Furthermore, just because a band does make money, it does not follow that it is designed to make money. There are countless bands which could drastically alter their music and make much more money, but choose not to.
[edit] Neutrality
There is no way that this arcticle is encyclopedic in tone. This is a very slanted opinion and should be rewritten. --PhilKenSebben 01:22, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- Who decides whether or not a band is original or creative? Who decided that the bands listed on this page are "corporate rock?" Time for a bunch of tags. --Wasted Sapience 05:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
