I feel that way too. I think that we all should like what we like and not have these "stars" define to us what is good. Not all of us here are indie kids (my fav's are STP and Foo Fighters). After time I've come to realize when it comes to this site, that the indie kids have majority rule. My rules are; don't expect to win Mix of the Week ever, don't expect tons of comments and make friends (not enemies). It's taken me quite a while to be cool with this site but that's how I've learned to enjoy this site now. There is some cool picks on here and don't let the indie kids get you too down!

What's going on may be the best song ever.

The best song ever is "Roadrunner". Or "Since I've Been Loving You". Or "Rebel Girl". Or ...

And no-one should ever care about the ongoing incestuous popularity contest on here. I use this site to store and link to my own mixes and to take inspiration from others where appropriate. If I wanted to make friends, I'd join a country club.
