to make them seem cool because they're the onyl people that like it?
these so called "independant" bands jumping on bandwagons and sounding "arty" are only liked by dis
if they were that good they would get more mainstream recomendation like on music channels and radio etc.

Whats your definition of good?
If it's what people enjoy,then this argument need go no further
good as in
good quality riffs and original lyrical content
It's all subjective.
People have diferent opinions about what constitutes a 'good riff'.
And anything truly original in lyrics at this stage would be inane,as all the emotions are catered for.
yeah.
Children Of Bodom: 9
Lamb Of God: 9
Alexisonfire: 9
The Killers: 9
Death Cab For Cutie: 9
Vampire Weekend: 8
Kate Nash: 8
Paramore: 8
Funeral For A Friend: 8
...so no.
iv heard of 3 of them
and they are balls
oh well the gods have spoken
I guess I must completely change my opinion on music because the almighty 'rockstar27' says "they are balls."
[/sarcasm]
fuck off, you complete and utter knob.
<3 FFAF
YES! :D
I'm travelling about 100 miles to see them in October :D
i don't think i'll end up seeing them on this tour.
unless they just play 'casually dressed' there's no point 'cause i'll be bitterly disappointed.
That is a fine album.
But judging by the new album material I've heard it sounds like it's gonna be just as great.
really?
the album(s?) after that = :(
i really hope they return to form.
Yeah
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8-zPrfC-gk
listening now.
not that impressed. hmmm.
hwaaa?
Oh well, I harbour a secret liking for 'Into Oblivion' so what do I know.
God, that's awful
^this
plus a b-sides/early eps tour. *Realises this will never happen, but can dream.*
^I swear DiS has that post as a template
Haha
very true, its so indie it's funny
I love Paramore
This opinion is fact.
Me too! <3
Yup, me too
great quality pop fun
independ-ant?
http://lifeofando.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/ant.jpg
inde-pedant = me, apparently.
clever
perhaps too clever....
No
I was talking about this the other night: I like things other people like, just to be less like other DiSers. Mainstream is the new indie.
(some) mainstream
no-one is ever going to think you're indie for liking Scouting For Girls or The Hoosiers.
Other than that, yeah, you're pretty much right.
I meant iPods and PCs
self righteous poster of the day.
I used to win that award on a daily basis...
i have reason to be right
beacause all of my opinions are standard procedure in the logical world
if you didnt understand that it means that theyre RIGHT
Logical world indeed
You're an idiot
Sorry.
theres no need to personal mate
internet comntempt for me expressing my views isnt nessecary
however i believe that users of dis like obtuse bands at first and then say their second album is shit when they get a large fanbase/on kerrang
Converge
Obtuse?
fnar.
Based on what?
intensive research
.
Do you really
think popularity of things is a fair indication of how good things are? You don't think anything terrible has ever made people lots of money and been very popular? And nothing you like is unappreciated by the wider world?
wow.
You really don't have a clue about this place do you?
we are all just geeks/freaks
