shiver by coldplay. love this song! it gets me, i think its fantastic. the rest of coldplay i just dont care for, from the music to the image, chris martin...meh

another one is long december by the counting crows. ive loved this song since the moment i first heard it. tho i have to admit that the counting crows has seemed to grow on me some in the last year. i still dont own any albums and could only name one or two other songs. but long december ive always loved

one head light by the wallflowers tho im not sure this counts. i mean jakob dylan is little more than a one hit wonder (oh and bob dylans kid of course) but one head light usually gets my stereo up to full volume

    I don't know about "love" but you know that song "beautiful" by christina aguilera? ...I don't change the station if I hear that. Is that wrong?

    Nice call on Coldplay. I like that song Talk.

    And I like a couple of the old U2 songs, and I hate U2.

    Wonderwall - oasis
    It's a song I really like, but I hate Liam Gallagher... I think he is so cocky... IMHO.

  • Creep by Radiohead. Good band, but a little too pretentious. Saw them live a couple years ago(mostly to make my wife happy) and wasn't very impressed. I've heard they won't play most of their singles live(even though the popular singles are what made them rich and famous and allowed them to tour in the first place...)

    opinions of bands/musicians based off something besides the music... weird to me. I don't care about their personalities. I guess Michael Jackson would be an exception, but a child-molester is an extreme example. And I don't like most of his crap anyway.




    Hed P.E. - The meadow. LOVE the song, but I can't get into the rest of their music

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-LqGD-Wii0

    Kid Rock - Cowboy. This guy should have been a one hit wonder!

    Don't exactly love it, but I actually like Creed's Overcome (their new one)

    i hear ya

    its not like that stuff is a deal breaker for me most of the time when the music is good, but sometimes the other things in the package really do stand out or have an effect

    for example i really like marilyn manson's whole look and vibe and thing, i think its weird and different and cool and has something to it but im not particularly into the sound. i dont listen to it or own the albums or even keep it on when it comes on the radio

    but i dont wanna derail my own thread here ;)

    Check out their album "August and Everything After"...it doesn't have Long December, but nonetheless, it's one of the best debut albums I think I've ever heard.

    One of the Gallaghers, not sure which one, whoever wrote the song, said that Ryan Adam's cover of Wonderwall was the way that song was supposed to sound. He likes the Ryan Adams version way better than their own. I have to agree.

    Yeah. Noel said that. They have a live Noel album on itunes for The Teenage Cancer Trust, and he does the Ryan Adams version on it.

    Hmm.....interesting. It's weird because I've always kinda tried to like them because I think Edge is a pretty cool guitarist and I like a lot of his effects. But I tried The Joshua Tree a few years years ago and just couldn't bring myself to be remotely interested in it. I tried again more recently by downloading their discography off a torrent. I tried bits and pieces off a few albums, but deleted it the same day I downloaded it. To this day, I always change the channel when I hear them on the radio and the only songs I like are Elevation and Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me.....which are two of their more "throw-away" type of singles. But that may be what I like about them.

    oooh, I've got a good one, 25 or 6 to 4 - Chicago

    Like other songs by them too, but not they're nothing like this one. This song kicks ass, which is about the opposite of what you think of with the rest of their songs
