Yeah, but they are advertised so much by stations such as MTV that people can't help but love them despite how unoriginal and trashy their lyrics are, and the lack of skill they possess in their writing and how their performance comes off. These type of groups are what MTV is all about, media, style, looks, things that shouldn't be first for a band, which is the music. They just advertise and sell trends that are really bad, such as guys wearing make up. That's not how it's done.

I love John Williams, especially on Star Wars of course. He did an exellent job on Harry Potter too, as well as classics such as Indiana Jones, ET, and Hook. He is by far my favorite composer, and i feel honored just play a piece of music with his name on it. He did a good job with the Episode III Soundtrack, which i am listening to right now. Gotta love Battle of the Heroes.

Well, you gotta give him props for not repeating alot of the same stuff for his 6th movie of the same series. Though they always use the familar tunes like the imperial march, i think for myself personally i'd be dry of the Star Wars type of music. He made some good music for Grievous, and portraying all of Anakin's conflicts and battles (emotionally and physicially)
