They aren't afraid to try out different genres of music

Even though they started as a kind of surf rock pop sound they've changed and their music keeps changing as they go along. Each album sounds different from each other and they all have their own kind of sound. They like to try different types of music because as they grow up their tastes change as well, it doesn't mean that they don't like their original sound, they just want to experience playing different genres and sounds.

They're open to anything.

Mcfly are open to collaborating with different people. They're aren't scared that if they collaborate with someone that they will lose fans. They are open to it and want to show everyone that they will try and it doesn't matter if it goes wrong or anything but they want to see what it is like. People thought that Mcfly and Taio Cruz collaborating would not end well but instead they ended up securing their 15th top 5 hits.

They've worked their way up the music industry.

This reasons pretty simple. They've done it themselves. They haven't gone onto X factor or anything, they've actually done everything by themselves. Furthermore once they worked themselves up and made themselves known then they managed to stay there for 8 years. I think it's better this way rather than going on X factor because they actually know how much work they've put in and everyone else knows this as well.

From an artistic perspective.

This section  is going to be about what I like about Mcfly from an Artists' point of view. Some of the things I like about Mcfly are:
  • They aren't afraid to try out different genres of music
  • They worked their way up the music industry
  • They've managed to stay in the music industry for so long and still be as popular
  • They do a lot to help charity and are devoted to some.
  • They are open to anything e.g collaborating with different people
  • They play their own instruments
  • They own a record company
  • For their recent tour, Keep Calm And Play Louder, they've held a competition for unsigned amateur bands and the top ones(voted for by Mcfly Fans)supported them on their tour.
I'll explain a couple of them soon, but they probably will be quite short posts though.

They play their own instruments.

Nowadays, you get solo artists, boy/girl groups and stuff like that. But I think a band is much better. You may think what's the difference between a band and a group? The difference is that a band plays their own instruments and sing whereas a group sings to music that's been recorded already or they have a live band behind them. So I think that being in a band requires more work for them.
I think that Mcfly being in a band is so much better and it makes them more special because they are the ones playing it and singing. No disrespect to groups like one direction, the wanted, etc because they do work hard for what they've done. I just prefer bands over groups since they sing and play so it's all about the band.
I think this links in with the reason I wrote about before about how Mcfly write about their experience cause we know that it's them whose doing/creating/playing these songs.
