Appetite for Destruction actually took a long time to become popular (I was listening to it for months before it broke) so the over hyped charge is false for that one. And it is most certainly not crap.

Even Appetite! Sure, catchy songs, but what else?

Dude, this is music! Catchy songs generally equate to good music, you can't ask for anything more than that.

Why is catchy good? Isn't that subjective to opinion? Personally, I like my music UNcatchy.

You said catchy songs meant good music. I retorted, now can you rephrase your retort a little more clearly?

I could maybe draw a picture.

"Good music doesn't mean you have to like it"?
Are you saying bad, catchy music is good, just because it's catchy? Go ahead with the picture if it helps.

You can't be this thick, man. You ever see a pretty girl that you're not attracted to?

Correct. And I also said just because I said that doesn't mean I have to like them, which I don't. They're good, I don't like them. She's hot, I'm not attracted to her. He's a good looking dude, I don't want to ass rape him. See the pattern?

It's still ridiculous, not the idea of thinking bands are good that you don't like, but your denial of the fact that catchyness is just one element of music, and not representive for the global quality.

Done, and quoted.

I also re-read what you wrote and you spelled "catchiness" wrong.

So where do you think I misinterpret your point then?

And you can take the spelling of the word catchiness up thine arse ;)

Hahaha.

You misinterpret me because you're taking my word as law. I never said it as such. Catchy songs can be annoying as fuck (The Ketchup Song, anyone?), thus not good in the sense of quality, but generally a catchy song is indicative of an actual good song. I've said it numerous time here, Britney Spears has a ton of good songs, but I don't like them one bit.

i'm not sold on the objectivity of "good" songs when the word catchy is so subjective.

personally I find top 40 bimbopop incredibly hard to focus on, so obviously I don't have a well musically-attuned mind. I'll go drown my sorrows by listening to non-catchy and by inferrence inferior music like, er, King Crimson or Esoteric.

oh wait that's fucking stupid. Eyesore? this is fucking stupid.
