This thread is the most pointless of a whole bunch of pointless threads, I mean come on, they're ok but don't even exist on the same planet as Pearl Jam, nevermind surpass them at anything. I can't believe I have become so bored that I've even bothered to post this....
1) You don't have to pay $65 to see just the singer
2) No shitty accoustic/protest songs
3) No album called riot act
Into The Wild is amazing, sure that price sucks but I would pay it, Riot Act is their worst album but it is still better than most other music out there.

Crucially, Riot Act is better than anything Jet have ever put out.
You don't have to pay $65 to see Eddie either. You can always stay at home.
But then, Ed's worth it.:D
Nah. I am not flying across the country to see Ed sit on a stool and play shitty accoustic/protest/ITW/riot act songs. I'd go and he'd sit there and play Cropduster accoustic and I'd injure myself by shoving pencils in my ears.
So, probably not a good idea for me to go.
Enough about that. This thread is about how awesome JET are.
pjoasis - not sure about the new album....everytime I think to look them up, I'm at work and most of the music news sites are blocked.
So you are one of those that hate them because everybody else does?
You always seem to assume that people just hopped on the Oasis-hating bandwagon for the one potential crap reason, rather than the numerous - oh so numerous - valid reasons...
Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

A frontman it's impossible to like...
A stunningly boring catalogue...
A collective ego the size of Jupiter...
I'll give Noel credit for writing some great songs - Champagne Supernova, DLBIA, Importance of Being Idle - but a decade or so of complete overexposure and overratedness over here has pretty much soured me on them for good.

How are REMs vocals more than average and how are their songs interesting?
Oh goodness me, are you seriously doubting Michael Stipe's vocal prowess?! For a start he doesn't have a whiney nasal tone, and he can sing live. Their songs are less about wonder walls and champagne supernovas, and more about real emotions and stuff.

Sounds like you hate them more because of who they are rather than the music that they make.

I dislike the fact that they think they're the second Beatles based on a very average collection of songs. If they weren't so damned arrogant about it, they'd just be another band I never took the time to notice.

It's already well established that you don't have high standards when it comes to music
My standards are too high

Yeah Oasis really did set the bar for shitty pub rock bands very high......
So you are one of those that hate them because everybody else does?

No no, purely because their music is the definition of mediocre.

How is this mediocre?

Acquiesce (my favorite tune by them) is killer and Oasis are terrific songwriters.

Ok well ignoring the very average vocals, the songs just aren't that interesting.
How are REMs vocals more than average and how are their songs interesting?

How the hell do you figure that? He already spelled out EXACTLY why he didn't like them in the second part of his response.
