Now, I know alot of you people like metal & rock etc, and you don't like McFLY because so many girls like em etc, well here's my explanation 4 it:
1. People like McFLY because they have a good sense of humour.
2. People like McFLY because they make good music (it makes sense, since their inspirations are the Beatles, Blink 182, Green Day, Lost Prophets)
3. Some people also like McFLY because they can make a good song using simple chords and without swearing.In their first album, McFLY speak the minds of many teenage lads, in their second album however they speak from teh mind of a more older person, lol.
You know what i'd find really funny, if a metal band turns out to like McFLY, lol...
Don't ask me why i posted this, i just thought i'd prove a point...
People might like them for those reasons, however that does not make them necesseraly 'good'.
They are obnoxious, cocky, bunch of horny teenagers who think they are 'too cool for school'.
Their music is not good, in my opinion. Just because their inspiration are certain bands, some might deem as good, doesn't mean they automatically become good.
I can sit here and say that for my band, eloaquent lyric inspiration comes from Tool, and Mars Volta, and but my politically charged message is an inspiration from System of a Down and RATM, but my band can be the shittiest band in the world.
Not that McFly had any GREAT influences from what you said.
Im sure there are people who will like them for ''their music'', but for many alternative lovers, they are simply shit, because those people have heard music which is beyond any doubt unchallanged by anything McFly have to offer.
