Maybe it's the wrong album to start with? Maybe their sound is just not my thing? I don't know. I'm also curious about the Flaming Lips, the other much discussed band here. Maybe I'll listen to some samples of theirs too.

What the hell is wrong with you?

What do you mean? Hearing just the intro of I Am Trying To Break Your Heart is way better than hearing the whole thing, which has the melody and stuff.

The part where he didn't like it. And who's never heard music by the FLips? Something is very wrong with this picture.

Seriously. ...you were talking about YHF there, right?

Absolutely. But, of course, I only have 45 kbps 30-second samples from one song.

u2popmofo · 06-24-2008, 01:24 PM

So I tried to listen to YHF last night to give it its 5000 chance. I made it all the way through one song, couldn't make it the full way through another. The album still sucks, and from what I can tell, the band does too. You all bought into hype. They are most DEFINITELY the most overrated band of our generation, and Indie Rock's John Tesh. Elevator music at best.

Thank God.

PS: Sigur Ros is the John Tesh of indie rock.

I know the serious comment is the part about listening to it 5,000 times

u2popmofo · 06-24-2008, 01:43 PM

Actually, that's the only joke. And as Nonesuch is owned by Warner, I guess they've never been an indie band. So that's a joke too.

You bastard. Put back the James Blunt remark.

got_edge · 06-24-2008, 01:47 PM

I love James Blunt

um.

Do I also want to add the record by Does It Offend You, Yeah to my Tower order?

u2popmofo · 06-24-2008, 01:56 PM

Hopefully you all realize I've been bustin' Wilco's chops here since 2002 (and most of that time I was the one and only person here who seemed to not like them), so at this point I feel like I'm required to make outlandish statements about my distaste as to live up to my "image".

At the end of the day, I really don't think they're that bad. They even have a few songs I don't mind. I personally can't understand why anyone would ever act like they're geniuses or anything more than just another band, but I'm sure many would say the same of most of the ridiculous crap I like. At the end of the day it's music and everyone is going to have completely different opinions and feelings about it, so it's all good.

I thought I was the only one who didn't drink the koolaid around here...
