I kinda like them, they're not that great musicians, but they're fun. More interesting lyrics than your average frat boy pop that they're assoicated too, and I like the way the change genre for every album they release. But their musicmanship is lacking, a fun band like Smashmouth but with really good musicians would be the coolest.

And I still can't get walkin' on the sun out of my head.

Yup
:thu:

You can't say that it's a bad song. It's a song that gets stuck in people's head very easily.

Ergo, the songwriters have done their job.

I gotta disagree. This {censored}: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL2UsAbI1hg gets stuck in my head for weeks if I happen to hear it somewhere. I hardly think that that's a qualifier for exceptional songwriting.

 

EDIT: I don't really have an opinion about Smashmouth one way or another. Just disagreeing with the notion that "catchy" = "good". I mean, {censored}, that Crazy Frog fiasco that swept Europe was neither good nor catchy, and it made number one on a bunch of charts.

I see what you're saying, I should have said that I happen to like All Star. I think it's catchy, and a good song.
But catchy does not necessarily = good. I agree on that. What I mean tho, is that a songwriter has done something right if his song gets stuck in people's heads. Even if it's totally {censored}, he's done something right. ;)

All Star is NOT a good song. It has about the worst chorus I can imagine--{censored}ing terrible. At least say that the pseudo-vintage tones in Walking on the Sun were fun, I MIGHT give you that. But no, absolutely no leeway on All Star.

 

Also, that pencil beard is REALLY thin in that pic--it outPrinces Prince. How does he get it like that?
