If your saying fall out boy is equal to SP, your on crack.
Absolutely they're equivalent, yes, that is what I'm saying. FOB is much more equivalent to SP than Hole is to either. FOB is today's version of SP. Same deal. Mainstream major label alternative band du jour. Playing MTV events, musical guest of SNL or Conan or whatnot. Heavy rotation on the kiddie rock radio station.
The music isn't identical, at all. FOB's stage show is more lively for sure, and their singer is better than Corgan in pretty much every respect I can think of. The timbre of his voice is certainly less annoying. Musically, it's six of one half a dozen of the other for me, in that neither blows me away but I can recognize both bands as very good at what they do.
I haven't looked up record sales, but I'd assume they're roughly equivalent, and within about three years if FOB is sticking around as well as Green Day, they might have crushed SP by then.
The only way I see them as non-equivalent is that one was the music you liked when you were a stupid kid and you still have a special place for it in your heart, and the other was never for you in the first place cause you've aged out of the MTV target market.
And no, YOU'RE on crack!!! LOLZ3R!!!!
