You guys are using the example of busted.. but I think your being unfair. I personally dont like them, but I do beleive they are just 3 guys who were friends at school who played guitar and wrote silly poems/songs in chemistry class.
Ok theres thousands of people like them and maybe they only made it because they have the image thats right for the market, whats wrong with that though?
If your too busy arguing with your friend over which band is better than which then your obviously missing the whole point of music.
