Unforgiven Fan · 01-12-2004, 03:22 PM

all three creed albums are on there....MOP and Weathered - 6 million and Human Clay at 10 not bad....and they are about 84 on the top artist with 22 million sold...not bad...

but metallica has 7 of their 9 offical albums on the list even better though and 16 on top artists

jango · 01-12-2004, 11:47 PM

24. Backstreet Boys - Same
...
33. Backstreet Boys - Millennium
34. Britney Spears - ...baby one more time
35. Dixie Chicks - Wide Open Spaces
36. Matchbox Twenty - Yourself or someone like you

All beating out Pearl Jam, Nirvana, your beloved Creed, Bob Marley, Elvis, the Pumpkins, The Doors, Simon and Garfunkel, U2, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, the Chili Peppers, Billy Joel, Elton John, Clapton, Stones, etc etc etc

Music sales meaning nothing in terms of actual quality.

Xterminator27 · 01-12-2004, 11:58 PM

jango is spot on sales mean nothing in view of quality but it is sad that such inferior music sells so well. I also agree with Xterminator in that Matchbox 20 are okay, they put on a good live show.

facelessman · 01-14-2004, 10:45 PM

7? sounds good to me

jango · 01-14-2004, 11:20 PM

But they're not that good... which is representative of radio has a whole. Corporate controlled mediocrity!

Dogstar · 01-15-2004, 12:04 AM

Ain't THAT the truth. I can't even listen to radio anymore.

RMadd · 01-15-2004, 12:07 AM

matchbox twenty is awesome! And, yes, they are amazing live! Seen 'em twice, disappointed on neither occasion. Rob can write sing amazingly well; Kyle Cook (lead guitar) is pretty damn good; all the other dudes are good too.

Dogstar · 01-15-2004, 12:08 AM

Whatever floats your boat, but I don't think they are that good, but that's me.
