That's cool, but he likes to fight, and it's not real nice, that's all. You can debate civilly without having to be nasty about. He raised a lot of hell on the other board and I just didn't want to see the return of that.

What part of NY? And which stations? Because I live 10 minutes outside the city and I can't get away from Pearl Jam on the radio if I tried. |

Re: Pearl Jams on the decline and Creed is going up!
Ah, and sales figures and money is truly indicative of quality music. Gotcha. Well then, run off now and listen to your Britney Spears cd... go ahead. Britney Spears' combined platinum total is 26. Creed is 20. Go ahead, listen to Britney Spears, because after all, she is on the "up-climb," and when it comes to music and what's good, sales is all that matters. After that, put in your favorite Backstreet Boys cd, because they're at 35. Chase some BSB down with some good ol' N Sync at 26. But not bands like Nirvana, who only managed 20 when you add the Unplugged album. They just don't stack up to BSB. You truly are an idiot. However, according to RIAA the following is true: Pearl Jam: Ten - 11 Vitalogy - 5 Vs. - 7 _______ 23 Creed: MOP - 10 HC - 5 W - 5 _______ 20 It appears that Creed is also on their way out as well. So yes, Pearl Jam has done that in THREE albums, better than Creed. But does it matter? No. Why? Because PJ's music is better, and statistics mean nothing when discussing art.

LMAO, Jango. It's true, numbers don't equal quality. There is so much garbage that sells 100 times more than the truly good music, such as the ones you mentioned above. There's no accouting for taste, that's for sure.

Re: Re: Pearl Jams on the decline and Creed is going up!
Jango, you truly speak your mind and that is a very admirable quality. And might I add, that you were kind in your post, considering the entire thread was meant to bait you. Kudos! As always, you have my respect.

Well, I'm getting my stats from the RIAA which certifies the albums. I suggest you check those.
Regardless... stats and figures mean nothing. Crappy bands have sold a lot. Get over it.

Well I was under the impression that the RIAA certifications, ie. platinum, gold etc, were about how many CDs were shipped. Thats why you get some people saying Creed SOLD something like 6 million copies of Human Clay. Shipping and selling are two different things.
For the number of titles sold, you might wanna check soundscan. Which I just did now, and it looks like Human Clay is at 10.2 million from soundscan, so I just don't know what to think. And for those interested, according to Soundscan (possilby out of date though), Code:

Wow, is it REALLY that important? I don't know about the rest of you all, but several months ago after Jango joined the bb and he and I were in a disagreement, I believe we found that agreeing to disagree worked best for us. It wasn't that hard for us to do, can't we have that as the rule of thumb? Or do we have to keep having this same inane argument?

I'd love to agree to disagree, put this disgrace of a human being keeps posting bs like this. First, who is 'we'? You don't make the music. Second, there's NO competition. Sales figures does not equal talent.
