Glee passes Beatles on number of Billboard 100 hits

I honestly don't see the rage for gleeks, it's like how musicians rage over plastic rock instruments. I love glee and I love the original artists that made the songs so please, for the love of all things good, don't go around generalizing glee fans and calling them "dumb", "no life", "suckers". etc. Does it really make you feel like the bigger man for raging over a "cover" on show on a plastic rock video game forum? Do you feel better now? *sigh*

I think part of it is that there's this thinking that you could be listening to ORIGINAL music, rather than a "broadway musical". There's artists out there who are dying for that kind of exposure, and then something like Glee comes along and just spoon feeds the same things over and over to the public, in easy sized bites that they can handle. There's guys like Butch Walker, who's probably the most talented guy in rock n' roll today, who will never be featured on Glee and because of it, his music will be undiscovered. While I don't think that's a slight on him or Glee, I think it's a tragedy that it happens that way. If a guy like him is going to succeed or fail, let it be on his own merits and the strength of his work. Not because of an hour long television program taking away his potential audience.

The thing about plastic instruments; I'm a musician and have been for a very long time. Yes, I do think that you could be learning a real instrument. Rock Band and Guitar Hero can foster a love of music, but I don't believe for a second that you're a real musician because you go "click, click, click" on a plastic controller. The Rock Band games are fun. Music brings people together, and it's a chance for those without any musical ability to interact with music. Also with the music industry these days with the very narrow scope of radio, it may lead some to music that they have never thought of before, and it may very well inspire someone to some day say "you know, I'd like to do this for real". But like the song says, there ain't nothing like the real thing, baby!

That's not Glee's fault, the music industry has never operated and never will operate on a merit basis.

I feel like I could describe Glee with that statment.

You're definitely right. Especially about the inspiring other people to get in to music part.

Our school created a glee club because of the show so it's definitely inspiring people to sing, just as much as Rock Band inspires people to play a real instrument.

Guys, use the ENTIRE quote. This is almost like Fox News.

I don't think you understand the point they're getting at.

Your school's glee club...is about the show Glee? lol that's like having a Rock Band class (which a school near me does) but you only play music-related video games (I'm not mentioning which ones, so I'll just call it Bock Rand).

Guys the ENTIRE quote is like Fox News.

You know it's generally the more popular and friendly people that like Glee, not the other way around.

lol no it's not like an actual glee club as in it's about the show Glee. It's a club of people that sing songs. Like what a glee club actually is. The show just inspired the school to actually create one.
