David said: Neither of them make catchy music though. Fireflies was catchy, and even if it sucks, it’s mainstream, and that’s what counts these days in terms of generating revenue.
We are talking about the quality of the music, though, not how successful it is. Ripping off a great band/performer and making their style more mainstream is a classic way to sell music. Plus, Ronald Jenkees’ is the definition of catchy.
