Members zachoff Posted August 8, 2007 Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 I saw AFI back when they were still a punk band. Wow... those guys have changed a bit! They were different for sure. Saw them in '96 with Anti-Flag. Good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Noise... Posted August 8, 2007 Members Share Posted August 8, 2007 I can't stand any of those bands. I'm so burnt out on the generic bubblegum pop/emo {censored} that I just can't bear to listen. I hate to go on a rant here, but it's necessary. These record labels just pump out these talentless, teeny-bopper "bands" knowing that the 12-15 year olds just buy them up. It's nothing but a moneymaker. I'm so damn sick of how the art of music is just being bastardized over and over by money-hungry people. /end rant As for me, I'm way into experimental and indie stuff...As it is, I play instrumental experimental music as my main project. If I even SUSPECT that a person may be faking it (lipsyncing, faked instrument parts, etc) I won't waste my time listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members collinwho Posted August 9, 2007 Members Share Posted August 9, 2007 I can understand a couple people not personally liking any of this stuff, but calling them talentless? Or just saying, straight up, that the music sucks? Setting my personal preferences aside, I would have a really hard time calling Say Anything, All-American Rejects, Sufjan Stevens or Gym Class Heroes talentless. Even if I didn't particularly like them, I would have trouble saying any of those groups suck (even Panic! at the Disco who I particularly dislike).

Even if I didn't particularly like them, I would have trouble saying any of those groups suck (even Panic! at the Disco who I particularly dislike). I agree. Say Anything knows how to write catchy songs. Sure, their singer is a bipolar nutjob, but he knows how to write hooks. And they're some nice guys. And even if AAR doesn't last, Tyson, the lead guy, will have a career writing pop songs. Go ahead and call him talentless, but his talent to write pop hits makes him lots of money and garners lots of listeners. And Sufjan Stevens... If you call that guy talentless, you haven't listened to him. We're talking any given song having up toward 15 instrument tracks. He writes and records everything himself, then tours with a 10-piece band. He's currently working on one album for each state. He's done Michigan and Illinois.

Members ec437 Posted August 9, 2007 Members Share Posted August 9, 2007 Oh, and use the site I'm gonna post below to find music similar to what she gave you. Then burn it on a CD and give it back to her to score major points http://www.seeqpod.com/ Type in a band name and use the discover feature. www.pandora.com is better for this but requires registration.

Members DevilRaysFan Posted August 9, 2007 Members Share Posted August 9, 2007 This goes back to the old "new music vs old music" debate. My problem with new music is the crap thats on the radio and video. The new bands listed on that iPod are the excellent bands that get little notoriety Your daughter likes a LOT of the newer bands that I like that SHOULD be on the radio/MTV instead of most of the drivel thats there. Ive been an OK Go fan for years, but theyve only got popular in the last year or so: Some other new bands ( past 5 years) that I love are Motion City Soundtrack, Click 5, Maroon 5, Spill Canvas, Phoenix, and The Sun - just to name a select few. Young kids bringing back harmonies and Major7 chords: its a beautiful thing......Instead, good ol corporate rock keeps cramming Nickelback down my throat........
