23. Good Charlotte, Identical Twins and Gateway Bands
Manage episode 443268489 series 3605140
Good Charlotte were often derided for being fake punks simply for being a commercial band but hindsight affords us the opportunity to see that they were actually artistically progressive, financially viable and incredibly relatable. Good Charlotte were not necessarily a divisive band, but their success certainly made them an easy target for those seemingly unable to allow others to listen to whatever they choose.
Hit singles ‘Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous’ and ‘The Anthem’ from their breakthrough record ‘Young and Hopeless” hold up two decades on, and represent a record that would go on to sell 5 million copies worldwide.
