I like radiohead, but I have to completely agree with the arcade fire and decemberists. Most indie music bores me. Would it kill any of those bands to plug in, rock out and maybe do a guitar solo once in a while? Yeash.
That valencia song by the decemberists sounds like the lead singer is doing the stereotypical gay lisp. FYI to the band, it doesn't sound FAB-U-LOUS!!!
Yeah man - good point - where are the fucking guitar solos, eh???
any music that doesnt feature some good ol' fret board masturbation sure is BORING!!!!!
and that Valencia song is definitely flaming AND it has no guitar solo....YAWN
In my world everyone is a pony,
and they all eat rainbows and pooh butterflies!
Alice in Chains - I don't remember anybody ever bashing them
I would say with the new Alice in Chains opinions are starting to change a little bit. Quite a few of us are not pleased about this "reunion."
The Man has a branch office in each of our brains, his corporate emblem is a white albatross, each local rep has a cover known as the Ego, and their mission in this world is Bad Shit.
I hate oasis, havent seen too much bashing, though.
I think they have received some negativity around here, probably not enough, but certainly some.

I think you should hook up with death cab for cutie. I hear they're looking for an emo-dorable new member. Hopefully you're indie enough.
zing.
Actually most of those indie bands really are boring as hell. They have no life in them whatsoever. And BTW Modest Mouse is NOT an indie band. they've been around for coming up on 2 decades, and they're unbelievably unique to themselves. MM is incredible and lively.

Thanks man - I think i'll look into that. I really hope i'm indie enough too.....I certainly should have earned ALOT of indie cred after forcing myself to listen to all this boring, wussy, flaming, guitar solo-less, emo-dorable music
I actually really like Death Cab For Cutie (and Modest Mouse)....BUT they'd both be alot better if they had more guitar solos!!!!!
.....I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more guitar solos

Definitely Neil Young. Also, Bruce, the Who, probably Bono/U2, although I fucking hate him/them.
Nah, U2 gets plenty of hate.

QOTSA, the White Stripes, Smashing Pumpkins, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, the Mars Volta ....or at least I haven't noticed.
Yeah it seems the general reaction to Nick Cave is either overwhelmingly positive or just neutral because people don't know them.
I also think that there is something to be said for what happens when bands aren't shoved down a person's throat. I don't think there would be as much hate for a lot of bands if they weren't on the radio 20 times a day. I know my opinion of the Chili Peppers would not have grown as negative as it has if they didn't play them every other hour on the radio and their new (shitty) material wasn't so fucking popular.

You paint me as Ted Nugent. I just like my music with some life to it. I can only take so much mid tempo acoustic songs before I want something different. Conversely, this works the same for more aggressive music--I can only take so much before I would want a ballad or something slow. The day groups like death cab and the rest of the garden state soundtrack put out something different than their previous albums I'll certainly give it a listen.
For the time being though, with death cabs catalogue and an image like this, http://www.avclub.com/content/files/images/feature.article_2.jpg they don't really get me excited in any way, shape or form. I enjoy several indie bands, minneapolis has some great ones, but I think a lot of people have wondered when a lot of rock bands got so, well, wimpy. I don't consider Modest Mouse indie.
I've been a musician for the last 16 years also, and I do have a fever for guitar. I'm sure Mike McCready has it also.
I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.

this is a true statement, worth quoting.

Yes, qotsa do kick ass.

The Queens count is up to 3!

Well, I guess that I haven't noticed a lot of it. But I'm glad that they do (no offense to any fans).
el oscuro me mantiene
cuando yo te vi
en la lluvia me prometiste tu sangre
Estrella de la mañana
Samael te persigo a ti
y si me quedo sin alas
ademas me muero por ti
