First, if you have not bought the Album..you should. Do not be put off by it because of the Silly British Press' overhype. It groves and has some serious melody.

Anyway, Really digging "Fake Takes From San Francisco". It cracks me up. What about you?

    Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured is my favorite. Very strong album. Lives up to the hype.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    I really dig their Sheffield accents!

    always nice to generalize to show your ignorance.

    I am sure people generalize about PJ being in the same category as Creed and Nickleback......which obviously isn't the case

    how so, its all standard "rock" music, with solos and power chords. and deep throated vocals. The fact that Pearl Jam is (subjectively) better doesn't really make them in a different genre of music.

    Its a little different because Nickelback and Creed have/had careers thanks to Pearl Jam's success. But they are pretty much the same genre of music.

    I prefer the first track on the Arctic Monkeys album, "The View From...." something, not really sure the last word(s). All of the songs are good, but honestly none of them really stand out that much above the rest.

    hey man from all of that crap i have heard, from cold play to modest mouse to the killers, I cannot stand that type of music. The killers cd fell into my hands and I listened to it and man, what a bad cd, I could not believe the amount of attention it was getting!

    I saw them tonight. Good gig, and I'm not what you'd call a fan.

    Well Coldplay is nothing special, but MM and the Killers put out two great records. Hmmm, you must think Disturbed and Godsmack are worth listening too, Aye?

    I would agree that the quality of the Artic Monkeys songs are similar and of high quality, 1-6 are some serious (and important) steps for "Modern Rock". Say what you want about "Brit-pop" but I do not think your average American Kid at age 20 could put something this tight and sophisticated out. Just going by the 20 year old dufuses that I know around here. The music they make sucks, so does the music they listen too.

    MM and the Killers combined have put out two excellent records.

    Those being The Lonesome Crowded West and The Moon And Antarctica, of course

    Dude, none of the bands you mentioned even qualify as britpop!

    Here is a sample:

    Blur
    Oasis
    Travis
    Arctic Monkeys
    Futureheads
    Bloc Party
    Supergrass


    happy listening!

    A Certain Romance. Something about that track just grabs me every time.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.
