I've heard only one Lady Gaga song, and it was ok.
The thing with bands like Eels is that they aren't rock enough, as well as having poor songwriting skills, and not pop enough. That half-arsed way of not wanting to take sides when you're doing something bothers me more. I mean, if you are going to write a pop song, make it as artificial and pop-sounding as possible, it's more in tune with the sort of escapism that I expect from it. I don't want to hear pop records by somebody while they're not being sure of what they're doing because of some 'keeping it real' shitefest. Being convinced does help making you come across as real enough by itself.
