Tenacious_Peaches Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Inexplicably overrated band? Death Cab for Cutie. I just don't get it. Even their name somehow irritates the crap out of me. They were on SNL last night. Feh. I was watching SNL...that's what inspired my post. Gee Marc, I wonder why in the world you happened to be watching SNL this week?

daslied Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I like Death Cab For Cutie. I even like them enough to refer to them as simply "DCFC", like us hipsters are wont to do. The name is a reference to an obscure song performed in the "Magical Mystery Tour" movie. The original artist is the Bonzo Dog Band. I like them for lyrics such as these: Left uninspired by the crust of railroad earth that touched the lead to the pages of your manuscript. I took my thumb off the concrete and saved up all my strength to hammer pillars for a picket fence. It wasn't quiet what it seemed; a lack of pleasantries (my able body isn't what it used to be). I must admist i was charmed by your advances; your advantage left me helplessly into you. Talking how the group had begun to splinter and i could taste your lipstick on the filter. I tried my best to keep my distance from your dress but call-response overturns conviction every time. My memory cannot recall; a wave of alcohol, we shared a cigarette and shaved the hours off. Lushing with the hallway congregation, my best judgement signed its resignation. I rushed this. We moved too fast, and tripped into the guestroom. Top that, Ready For The World.

Lucky Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Musically, I'd have to say the Rolling Stones oh Batman..... well I guess we can't agree on everything. Betcha edna, sammy, and I could learn you up on a few things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I think the 90's are just swell! What I'm trying to say is, robots of any kind are bad. Also, I'm not trying to start up an argument by saying I think the Stones are overrated, because a band's overrated-ness is 100% subjective.

You should know honey, I'm by no means a classic rock robot though. Beefhearts' my #2, don't forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman, it is an established fact that Mr. Marc has a thing for redheads, especially Scarlett Johansson. SNL was a repeat of Scarlett's episode.

Cheval Noir Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 All "emo" music... inexplicably over-rated and popular. I'll also add most current Rap and R&B. No need to name names since I'd be listing here for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheval Noir Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Coheed and Cambria Sounding like Geddy Lee is someone you DON'T want to sound like when singing. Unless you're Placebo. Then it counts to have high-pitched, whiny voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I don't exactly know how to describe emo, Farin, but I'll try. Based on what little I've heard, it's a mix of punk and rock, but with more emotional lyrics. Here are some emo bands: Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance and Dashboard Confessional.

Batman Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 from what I've heard, those are fake emo bands. The only "real" emo band I knonw of is "Sunny Day Real Estate" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Rage Against The Korn Bizkit Never understood their popularity I guess when Fred Durst said "now I know you'll be lovin' this s*** right here" he was wrong! I agree with Korn and Limp Bizkit, but I quite like RATM...their rapper isn't very good, but the guitar is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easyrider1092 Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 There are way to many things to disagree with here. So, I'll put some of my own. All "rage rock" (Limp Bizkit, or whatever the f*&k there name is) today is crap. I've never realized what the fuss about Van Halen is about. I mean, they're good, but not THAT GREAT. Boston is pretty dumb. Journey is annoying. Everyone says that Kiss is overrated. How about listening to Motley Crue? they are the eric bauman of music. They stole everything Kiss did, made it worse, and sold more albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steely Dan Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Coldplay, Korn, and most definitely Limp biscuits... just to name a few. However, above and beyond those guys... Nickleback takes the crown for most annoying BS to be released in music today. If I have to hear that pseudo Rod Stewart growl-whine to another song about how tragic this spoon-fed chumps life is/was I am going to scream myself into a scratching, screeching whinebot and cover his songs in my local bar scene to all the retards who actually think it sounds good. These guys are a total joke IMHO, or maybe I am just getting old. /shrug -Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
