Then the idiots who still listen to FM radio will be driving to work and daydreaming about killing their boss while "Swedish House Mafia" blares from their speakers and gets subconsciously embedded in their brain.
Later on they are shopping with their girlfriend at the mall, the gas station, the oil change, the car wash, the barber, the corner store, and the SHM is inescapable. That's 5 times a day, 35 times a week, 1050 times a week.

Shit by the end of this thread I might like this shitty song too.

This thread was off to a bad start but for some reason I found this post absolutely hilarious. Probably because there is some truth to the absurdity of your vision of how people get hooked on SHM.

I swear the first time i heard that track on the radio i thought the police had come up with a new song.

Oh god, I can't stand that track.

Sting's made much better stuff since he went solo, for example:

And yeah, I know it's technically Craig David featuring Sting, but you just know the entire track was Sting's brainchild.

Sure. Why not. I like the track and Masquerade Motel 2012 was a ridiculously good time. Not sure how helpful that is, but, well, there it is. So i guess the answer to the original question is, yes, you just don't get it. But that's cool. Not everybody has to get everything. There's lots of stuff that people like that i don't get. As to why people like SHM, well, I guess they like their music and their shows are (were) alot of fun. I think that's about it.

It will be considered cheesy in 5 years when everyone is listening to the next big thing, but it will rock a dancefloor regardless. For the UK guys, it's release perfectly coincided with the Jimmy Saville scandal, and as such "Heaven" is regularly replaced with one of the many paedophile surnames that came (and are still coming) out.

(Because English people are funny bastards.)

neither really good or bad imho, you are right tho about it being everywhere and thus embedding itself inside your skull. really great to shout along while Im stuck in yet another trafficjam

and +1 for the police

Thanks for all the opinions. At least we have a passion for it. I respect y'all.

Sorry I get so fired up sometimes. I just thought that "house" was supposed to be something sacred.

I feel so strongly about Swedish HOUSE Mafia because they have no respect for the house genre.

They high jacked the house name to sell their garbage to the naive masses.

If you don't understand house, you never will. SHM punked your asses.

R.I.P. Swedish House Mafia. Good Riddance.

im not sure here but i think you are hating on the RADIO versions of the songs you hear from producers of House music.
Ill be honest with ya.... i can look in my house music folder at something from a cheesy label and if i come across one version called RADIO EDIT
i delete it. Because i know two things here

1) its gonig to be about 3 and a half minutes long
2) its been compressed and sped up to fit the format of whats played on FM Radio stations.

I can also look in that same artists release folder and find 3 other tracks of hte same title, which sound GREAT
and i HATE common stuff. FM is completely not what i play on my radio station, or at my gigs.

I think you might need to broaden the field of tracks you listen to my man.
Narrow vision is narrow understanding.


If the internet had only 7 websites on it
we would hate 6 of them
