JET is a better band than Pearl Jam.

Please dont bash Jet and other bands of that genre and then declare MCR to be a decent band. You lost all credibility.

Fuck credibility. He likes what he likes.

Yeah, I don't mind what I have seen of MCR. Sure they are theatrical in their own right, but what's new about that. Imean everyone here adores The Who cos Eddie likes em, but they were pure theatre in their day.

Even PJ wearing flanny's these days is theatre. Sure that was all they could afford in Seattle when they were skint, but now it is part of teh "act".

Haha! That's where we're going to end it? That would be like me saying, "Let's end this with Jet blows, has not an ounce of talent, and the world of music would be better if they had never existed." Comfortable with that? Didn't think so. As with just about any band that gets brought up here, it will end with people disagreeing. In my opinion, the best rock music being made is in the world of indie rock. Also, emo does not exist. I wish people would realize this. It is a meaningless label, just like grunge. Move on.

i like indie music too. and jet. and buckcherry. can your head comprehend those contradictions?

I didn't say they sounded like AC/DC. I simply place them both in the cock rock category. I have listened to that entire Jet album, and the mid-tempo stuff is even worse.

As for The Beatles, they are my second favorite band. Many of my favorite Beatles songs are their simple ones (And I Love Her, I Feel Fine. . .). But comparing their undeniably beautiful music to anything Jet has done. . .let's not go there.

can you define "cock rock" for me? cos as far as i know, the first band this label was ever applied to was pearl jam.

Simple Plan is a boy band. I'd throw Good Charlotte in there as well. They are pop acts trying to pass themselves off as rocks blands and generally blow. My Chemical Romance are in music for all the right reasons. I got a chance to interview Ray Toro, their guitar player, and he's a great guy who truly loves what he does. They look up to artists like Green Day, Queen, Face to Face, and David Bowie. And they are saving kids' lives, just like Pearl Jam did. I find their live act tiresome, but they have a few good songs, and they are making a huge impact on people's lives. I'm glad they're around.

how is jet not doing any of this?

Soulsinging, in response to your three posts:

1) I completely understand the contradiction. I have them in my collection as well. I am simply stating my tastes, and by my standards, Jet is awful. Again, I am by no means an indie snob. My favorite artists are: Pearl Jam, The Beatles, Alice in Chains, Incubus, The Shins, Arcade Fire, Jimi Hendrix, Thrice, and Dashboard Confessional. It's a mix.

2) I have never heard cock rock associated with Pearl Jam. For me, cock rock is rock music with trite, superficial lyrics that typically focuses on drinking, drugs, and sex.

3) I have never heard anyone say "Jet saved my life." Find me a few examples of this and I will reconsider my position slightly.

wow an entire album. good for you.
but i do have to agree with you, JET's slow stuff is borderline shite. and have i mentioned i like JET?

jet >>>>>>>>>> beatles >>>>>>pearl jam

dunkman

Jet are utter shite and their singer looks like he was chasing a bus with his face... ugly fuckwit... and they need a wash as they look like the smell of mouldy broccoli

I have their first album and this thread has made me remember i need to delete them from my iTunes to make room.

At ACL Festival 05, my buddies and I decided to get at close as possible for Oasis, meaning we had to get to the stage hours before they went on. Guess who played before them - Jet. As everyone around stood for the new, completely over-hyped band, we all sat down for the entire hour. They suuuuuuucked, needless to say. It was worth it, barely, that is torturing my eardrums to get a decent spot for Oasis.

Oasis>>>>>>>>>jet. There's no comparison.

LOL....

They aren't bad...you have balls for posting this Fanch.

Hmmmmm Jet, boring shoe gazers too cool to wash, shave or look a the camera. Not much to their songs, empty riffs, yawn !!

And what was their second album called, "Shine ON" ?? Sounds like the worst of an Idol winners effort.
Fuck, we must have been desperate for someone to love that year !!!!!

thank you.. honestly I have no idea what someone with taste could possibly see in Jet. Some of you have gotten me confused with this (even worse than the whole radiohead debacle soulsinging )

1) fair enough.

2) it was on the band's shirts for a while. it's what kurt cobain called pearl jam becos jeremy and alive were favorites of the beer swilling frat set at keg parties. plenty of bands have trite, superficial lyrics. does a song HAVE to be about your broken heart or love to be any good or something? it's one thing to say a band isn't your cup of tea, it's another to say they're shit becos you don't like the subject matter of the songs.

3) i've never said this about any band. i guess im just not a deep human being.

wolfmother is potentially the most annoying band to hit big since nickelbag. unless your hobbies include dragon-slaying and magic: the gathering.
