Maybe they're not everybody's cup of tea, but that's a tough description, very generalised & a personal view. Perhaps some people can't distinguish quality b/w tunes, but everybody has their own taste. I'm glad we're not all sheep following what the music industry says we should. And besides, such types of bands have been just as popular/successful as those that get sponsored by the music industry. They sometimes have cult status. Curious to hear murasame's opinion! lol
