erm yeah they would
Are you just pissed off that they don't review Cliffs stuff anymore?

EDIT: Obviously they're nothing compared to your band. Sorry what were you called?

I apologise
I know it's not a good start when i post something that instantly kicks a little controversy. Which band do you like from that platter? I actually don't mind a few songs i just dont like the idolising of the bands.

Well just from working in the music industry I know what a load of twat that statement is.

( riverghost has had very little sleep, Tue 10 Apr 2007, 11:01, archived)

^this.
NME review bands and promote them - but they have to be established enough for NME to take notice, so they'd exist anyway.

Also there are far, far worse music mags out there.

ever read "Cider with roadies" ?
that wasn't always the case

in the past NME has created the demand so to speak

"romo" being one of the worst examples

True, I admit.
They do help bands become established. However, I doubt Razorlight or the Arctic Monkeys were brought into existence purely by NME.

arctic monkeys was brought in by myspace
which doesn't improve matters, to be perfectly honest.
(emcake is reading about multi-layer perceptrons, Tue 10 Apr 2007, 11:14, archived)

They still do
But I belive in the case of the Artic Monkeys it's well documented that they're self made. But we still get some twunt student that'll be an accountant in two years to knock their achievements!

It's not controversial, just a bit of a sweeping statement
You say since 1952 but only mention very recent bands.

Plus to be fair they've helped thousands of excellent bands. Many I guess you also like.

But nice entrance :D

Kaiser Chiefs, write a fairly decent album.

Write new album, based on same songs, but changed very slightly.
