Talk:The Cardigans

message: How come there's no information or comment on the band's sound and how that sound progressed/changed? For example I liked Life and First Band on the Moon because of the light 'apartment jazz' sound. After that they began sounding like any other indie band. According to the article's intro, their best known hits are "'Erase/Rewind',  'My Favourite Game' and 'Lovefool'". It's surely not only my POV that the latter song sounds like a different band featuring the same singer? Anyone also think a sentence summarising these points is worth writing and including in the article? (Decampos (talk) 00:21, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I've heard that the band re-recorded the songs that "reappear" on Life. Indeed, I just heard a version of "Rise & Shine" attributed to Emmerdale that is somewhat different from the version "that I own, from Life. Does anyone else know anything about this?

message: Someone posted about a greatest hits being released on the 5th of Nov with a link to this website:. Seeing as nothing has been posted on cardigans.com or even cardifans.com, I'm thinking it's a possible hoax. This seems to be the only website advertising this "greatest hits" CD. Has anyone else heard about this release? Angel Of Sadness T/C 12:31, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

message: WHY DO YOU KEEP TAKING OFF THE "INFLUENTIAL" IN THE FIRST LINE???? DON'T YOU DUMB GUYS KNOW HOW INFLUENTIAL THE CARDIGANS ARE? HAVE YOU GUYS EVEN LISTENED TO A CARDIGANS ALBUM??? I SUGGEST YOU LISTEN CAREFULLY AND TELL ME IF THEIR MUSIC HASN'T INFLUENCED HUNDREDS OF OTHER CARDIGANS-WANNEBE ARTISTS!!!!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.112.84.139 (talk) 14:41, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: First thing please refrain from the personal attacks, it won't help this get sorted out.. Secondaly, because Influential is a point of view ie. it's not neutral by a longshot to say someone is influential because it's someone's point of view not fact. Wikipedia articles must follow Wikipedia's policy on neutral point of view and if non-neutral views are to be inserted it must contain a lot of reliable and independant sources that are verifiable to back it up. Not even Kurt Cobain or The Beatles are called influential in their articles because it's not neutral to say so. Even efforts to included influetial in those articles are quickly removed as its not fact. You don't see paperback encyclopedias have a point of view and this is carried on to Wikipedia as it's an online encyclopedia. It's not a newspaper column that can have a point of view, it is a place fact. I've been a fan myself of them for roughly ten years (favourite for the last five so yes I've listened to their albums to answer your question) and I have noticed the amount views in reviews that would counter influential and I'm sure you, like me, would be annoyed if someone inserted one of those remarks into the article - because it's someones point of view not fact. It's the same with influential. Therefore it gets removed and it doesn't matter how influential a person actually was/is.  AngelOfSadness  talk  14:53, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
