In the way that audiences do not realize how bad their music is. They just see famous guys with no talent up there performing. I can't explain it fully.

I'm with you all the way. I'd say bunch Lil Wayne in there with them too. As "artists" that people listen to without actually hearing them.

Edit: Since this thread has morfed from stadiums to musicians, it's time to get it out of the 24x7 Ravens discussions.

Re: M&T Among League's Best
Being the resident U2 uber fanboy, I feel the need (now that this thread is deemed off topic) to defend my boys a little ....
To say they're not talented is just silly. These are four poor kids who were basically self taught up until the period between Rattle & Hum and Achtung Baby. Let that sink in for a second. They made one of the best selling albums of all time on raw, untrained talent then followed it up with what some folks in the music business to be the best album ever made by anyone.
The Edge is one of the best guitarists to ever play. That's not me saying it. That's people in the industry saying it. Not many guitarists can lay claim to their own sound -- maybe a half dozen or so -- but he managed to do just that.
Point being, you may not like their music, style, etc and that's fine. But to throw aside the talent is a silly stance. You don't have 35+ years of success by faking it or getting by with no talent.

One does not need talent in order to be successful; they just need suckers to purchase their music.
