Some good banter on here though. Thank you Backdrifter for starting the thread and credit to IWishItWouldRainDown for mentioning Joe Elliott, who in turn mentioned Bruce Dickinson. UP THE IRONS! A truly outstanding British band (built from a love of Genesis too, surprisingly) and a band who commercialised their brand without taking the p1ss out of their fans.
An excellent contribution, to which I would add the discourse improbably led me to discover than Maidenhead is a term for fans of Iron Maiden, and is in turn the name of one of my favorite Protomartyr songs. I doubt it's a coincidence and at some point I'll remember to investigate the potential link further.
Oasis - can't blame em in the least for cashing in, at least as regards reforming and touring, not the ripping off fans part. There was a playlist of their songs at work last week and there were one or two mildly enjoyable ones I'd forgotten about but overall very uninspiring.
