I honestly don't listen to a single thing that would play on BET to know about that.

Ever heard Rock the Casbah? Crosstown Traffic? Yeah and its not many people, because I don't listen to funk so naturally I couldn't say much about it. But even listing one other than Maroon 5 proves the point wrong and listing predecessors only makes it more apparent their unoriginal. But you can keep arguing about how original they are, it only takes one band doing it before them to prove that wrong.

I thinks it's ridiculous you said anything at all he said "You do mean 'original' for a pop band i assume? Because that may be a near valid comment." You said "Pop and funk isn't something that many people have experimented with, especially currently." wheres the disagreement? Oh wait! There isn't one, this is just a classic case of senior member cock sucking and new member bullying. Dead was right, you guys were wrong. End of story.

Is there a piano in any of those songs? Are any of them anywhere near as melodic as Maroon 5?

Please explain to me how ONE instrument, A PIANO is going to make Maroon 5 so original?

Yeah and i've never said he was with the exception of the later material he produced...

So? Since when does the originality of something effect how I like it?

Because it completaly changes their sound. I've got nothing besides that.

Omg, don't give me that crap, I could have used any list of other bands, but I used those because you like them and it therefore makes the point personal to you.

I actually haven't, but need to.

And at Ethan, sorry I put the damn box one line lower, excuse me. But as for your originality rant, I then fail to see how almost any band currently making music could be original then. The whole rock thing, it's been done before, metal, done before, punk, done before, hell, Elliott Smith isn't even original then, nor is Patrick Wolf.

Lol, with the exception of his later stuff like King's Crossing i've never argued Elliott Smith to be original and quite a bit of Patrick Wolfs material on Lycanthropy is original. I don't know why you're bringing them up, they aren't relevant to the argument. I wouldn't compare two multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriters who for the most part did everything themselves to some made for the radio pop band.

Oh yes, because I was all like, "zomg, low post count must attack!" You've done the same damn thing yourself, even to me a few months back in that PATD thread, so I don't care to hear **** from you on that.

But again, I said, "Pop and funk isn't something that many people have experimented with, especially currently."

Notice how I bolded many, does that make it easier? You named a few, I could only think of a few, therefore it hasn't been done by MANY before.
