Why don't people in America listen to Silverchair?!


Question: They're huge everywhere else in the world but can hardly get airplay here. Their new album is amazing, and more importantly, different than their stuff in the past. Still, nothing.

Their rock is amazing, their alternative is amazing, and now their pop is amazing... but everyone still wants to listen to crap rhianna, 50 cent, nickelback and maroon 5. What is wrong with the United State's taste in music????

I personally like them, though I haven't heard their newest stuff.......the American market is HUGE and very picky. Corporate radio executives and companies decide what they like and what they want to put on the radio........not all of us listen to that 'crap'

No. We do not listen to Silverchair.

They got lots of attention here in the 90s, but have since fallen off our map.

I love the song "Straight Lines".

I used to have a song of theirs on my ipod but I have no idea what the name of it was.

because silverchair sucks? to be fair rhianna, 50 cent, and maroon 5 suck *** too.

The record companies get to decide what is played and what is not. Payola is alive and well in the U.S., and to believe otherwise is foolish.

We used to a lot back in the 90s. I remember everyone (but me) had that album with a frog on the cover. The problem is the whole country collectively lost it at the same time and the band never recovered.

If their record label doesn't push it or promote it, it doesn't get played.

Their only good song for me even though probably their most known is "Tomorrow." Their not a grunge band i particularly like.

Silverchair's last song I heard play on de radio was their debut I think.. that was like 10-12 yrs ago. I still like it.. yeah, but they dont play them over the radio at all. I would like to hear their new stuff . good,day mate

Because Silverchair is terrible, and not everyone in America likes 50 cent and rihanna.

They did in the mid to late 90's. But I still listen to them.

It is hard for foreign artists be recognized in the US especially if you are not US based.

I used to listen to them, I didnt know they had a new cd out....

OZ can keep them.
We have 400,000 bands in the USA that all sound alike, and Silverchair sounds like them.
We don't ALL fall for any crap that comes along.

They may have not toured enough in the states over the course of their career to generate peoples interest in them or keep people interested in them. Any band from outside the U.S. especially needs to tour here a lot to get their name and sound out. Sadly many great bands outside the U.S. don't make it over here very often.

I like Silverchair!!!!

I like Silverchair! Stop stereotyping.

They're kind of like Coldplay in some ways.

I do not know, I like them but I have not heard anything about them lately. I think people in America don't listen to them because either they have forgotten them or their music has not reached them yet.

Many do.
