I agree with you for the most part. Some of those bands have their moments though.Lord Foul wrote:AFI, Alexisonfire, A Static Lullaby, Brand New, Coheed and Cambria, Fall Out Boy, Finch, From Autumn To Ashes, From First To Last, Funeral for a Friend, Hawthorne Heights, Matchbook Romance, My Chemical Romance, Silverstein, Something Corporate, Taking Back Sunday, The Starting Line, The Used, and Thrice.

Can't agree with the Garden State Soundtrack though. I love that CD... I have to be in the right mood to listen to it, but sometimes it's just perfect. Loved the movie too.
I can't stand Good Charlotte, NOFX, MXPX, or Less Than Jake
Buuut, I must admit that I love a fair share of bands I know are "everything that's wrong with the music industry" if you must put it that way. For instance: Default, Jack's Mannequin (which is pretty emo, I'm told, I'm not too clear on what all these new fangled genres are
), and I have some pretty generic rock which, while not my favorite, I still listen to it occassionally, like Earshot and Crossfade.And I'll always like Green Day and Modest Mouse even if you've only heard their newest albums and have decided to label them sellouts.

Thanks for reminded me. I add Green Day to my list. And most music after 1977.Matrixman wrote:I've never listened to any Green Day, but I heard that American Idiot was a great "comeback" album for them.

It's more of in that sense that I'm an Elvis man. I mean, I don't have any of his mp3s (though that's not a bad idea... *fires up DC++*), and maybe it's because I'm a Reno boy, but Elvis is just The King.For instance, there's two kinds of people in this world, Elvis people and Beatles people. Now Beatles people can like Elvis. And Elvis people can like the Beatles. But nobody likes them both equally. Somewhere you have to make a choice. And that choice tells me who you are.
Elvis, Johnny Cash, Sinatra, too. They're men's men. *shrug* The Beatles were just really good musicians.

Now, I've not seen the movie, but I've seen the previews for Hostel, and that appears to encompas some of the things I'd like to do to Jimmy Buffett before I hip-tossed him into the chipper/shredder.
I've never wanted to self-immolate myself in a car bomb more in my life than the 3 hours of Hell I endured with 20,000 idiots at a Buffett concert.

Although Brand New and Thrice i do like.

Ah, see, Foul, that's where you miss the point. It's not about that. Sure, The Beatles could've had their pick of women (and not one much of a looker). So could, say, The Backstreet Boys. And though I would never otherwise compare the two, they both lack that essence that Elvis, Cash, and Sinatra have. Now, this could be partially because as a band their charisma, their virility, is spread out and diluted (though much like Nirvana with Cobain, Ringo was the focal point... hmm, and I suppose that makes Dave Grohl the Paul McCartney).Lord Foul wrote:I think you cowboys are just jealous of the fact that, in their heyday, the Fab Four could've bedded half the women on this planet.Syl wrote:Elvis, Johnny Cash, Sinatra, too.

Hmm. Other comparisons. Jerry Cantrell vs Layne Staley. Rob Zombie vs Fatboy Slim. System of a Down vs Linkin' Park (though that one's pretty close). Bruce Willis vs Tom Hanks. *shrug*

Oh, you meant that kind of manliness--the "come on son lets go hunt some deer and chug a beer or run people over with my angular, manly chin." Well, I'm glad the Beatles don't possess that. I mean, I just can't picture any of those guys you mentioned singing the line "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together." Maybe Cash.

No on the first count. I'm not a hick; that kind of thing doesn't appeal to me. I don't think I'll be able to explain it to you. I'll just have to go with Louis Armstrong's quote about jazz on that one.
On the second... perhaps. But as talented as The Beatles were, even you have to admit that it'd suck if every band sounded and acted just like them.
