[LemonMelon]

Uncle Johnny
The River Is Wild
Why Do I Keep Counting

Brandon Flowers's vocals

Pretty much everything about/affiliated with Sam's Town

 

[Zoots]

Brando flowers wtf does that mean????

umm... you wanna analyze a song like Somebody Told Me now??? Why don't you go analyze Duran Duran already! lol

 

[xaviMF22]

Hot Fuss is garbage.

I wouldn't got that far...but Zootles is complaining about Bono's bad lyrics yet he praises Hot fuss???

 

[xaviMF22]

and bitches the second best album of the 00's is "Parachutes"

 

[Zoots]

Hot Fuss is garbage.

If you're talking about the lyrics, Elevation isn't any less garbage! In fact it's more IMO.

 

[LemonMelon]

and bitches the second best album of the 00's is "Parachutes"

Wouldn't go that far, but it's easily the best thing the band has done. It's actually very good.

 

[Zoots]

I wouldn't got that far...but Zootles is complaining about Bono's bad lyrics yet he praises Hot fuss???

Dude, you cannot compare! I like Hot Fuss for the music, NOT the lyrics! Whereas, with Bono there is this huge lyrical expectation!

 

[U2Man]

Whereas, with Bono there is this huge lyrical expectation!

so even though you've thought his lyrics have been shite for 10 years, you still have a huge lyrical expectation?

 

[LemonMelon]

Just for the heck of it, I'm going to throw in an album we can criticize:

Nick Drake - Pink Moon

Bear with me, no one knew what this album was until 2000 (I'm not even sure if it was in print), so I nominate this as one of the best of the decade.

 

[xaviMF22]

with Bono there is this huge lyrical expectation!

well not anymore.. after the atrocities he committed on ATYCLB and especially HTDAAB...our expectations should be low for the next LP

expect more "kneel" "feel" rhymes

 

[xaviMF22]

Keep fighting bitches I like it


anyway Here is Part 1 of that Radiohead DVD

[Zoots]

so even though you've thought his lyrics have been shite for 10 years, you still have a huge lyrical expectation?

Okay,

a. I haven't thought his lyrics have been "shite" for 10 years, just mediocre for the last 7 years.

b. I'm talking about the lyrical expectation I had just before ATYCLB was released, not right now. Now I'd be surprised if the new album turned out to be genius lyrically.

 

[LemonMelon]

This would make for a good future chorus:

"When I kneeeeeeel
I can feeeeel
As if I can see into your soul
Drip like honey to a monkey
Your love makes me feel like that
When I kneel"

 

[Zoots]

And then Radiohead go and release Kid A, a total musical mind fuck that may have nonsensical lyrics for all I care but it is not cheesy like Bono's lyrics are of late.

I appreciate Kid A for the music primarily, just like Hot Fuss.

 

[Lancemc]

I'd rather listen to white noise than Hot Fuss. Seriously.

 

[U2Man]

i thought the killers was a cheesy band.

 

[xaviMF22]

I'd rather listen to white noise than Hot Fuss. Seriously.

All these thing I've done > white noise

 

[Zoots]

See how I brought the topic back to radiohead

Idioteque

 

[LemonMelon]

I'd rather listen to white noise than Hot Fuss. Seriously.

White noise can be made into interesting things. Just look at Metal Machine Music.

 

[xaviMF22]

there are some really good songs on Hot fuss though

change your mind
Mr. Brightside

 

[Lancemc]

White noise can be made into interesting things. Just look at Metal Machine Music.

I know, I find noise very interesting.

The Killers, not so much.

 

[xaviMF22]

I know, I find noise very interesting.

The Killers, not so much.

"Read my mind"

their best song

 

[LemonMelon]

I'd rather listen to a hobo use a cat as a guitar pick than We Suck....Young Blood

 

[Zoots]

change your mind

Under The Gun

Smile Like You Mean It

All These Things

 

[Lancemc]

We should talk about how awesome Fog is.

 

[xaviMF22]
