    I know how one can get frustated nowadays but there are some good original bands out there. I like the Kings Of Leon and Modest Mouse and I think they're pretty original and fuse their musical experiences into something new and unique.
    Well, do you need a lot of what you've got to survive?

    Listen to him. It's true.
  • You won't hear much good stuff on the radio, and you'll hardly find any on tv, but there's TONS of good shit out there. For instance:

    Kings of Leon, Kaiser Chiefs, Wilco, My Morning Jacket, John Butler Trio, Xavier Rudd, Idlewild...just to name a couple.
    Just try and get past the Nickelbacks and good charlottes. You'll find some good stuff. Promise

    I'd avoid Idlewild, the Kaiser Chiefs, and the Kings Of Leon. They just plain don't stand out to me.

    Never mind the poor music out now.....

    How about the STUPID NAMES!

    WTF kinda name is death from above 1979. Just death from above would have been fine. What is with the 1979?

    Death cab for cutie. This is my winner for stupid band name of all time.

    are you fucking kidding me. I cannot take either of these bands seriously, no matter how good they are.

    And No. They are not all alike. You are just listening to the wrong music.

    Death From Above had to add the 1979 because of legal issues with the original name, Death From Above. Apparently a new york record label or something already had the name Death From Above, so they tacked on the 1979.

    I like the name Death Cab For Cutie. I dont really know what it means (maybe I should look up the lyrics to the song with the same name)

  • I hope you aren't serious Deeve about not liking a band because of their name.

    Death Cab for Cutie is an American rock band formed in Bellingham, Washington in 1997. The band takes its name from a satirical song performed by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band on their 1967 album Gorilla. The song was also performed in a striptease act in The Beatles's movie Magical Mystery Tour.

    this is from wikipedia....but i remember they got it from watching magical mystery tour. So blame the Beatles for the name

    oh and if anyone is looking for some good alt-country. The Elected just released their second album last tuesday and its worth listening to not as good as their first album but definately not a soph slump.

    I never said I didn't like them. I just said I can't take them seriously.

    Hence I have never listened to either of them, at least not knowingly. Example. I wouldnt just go out and by an album by either.

    I dunno, my point merely is that there are far too many bands out there these days with absolutely rediculous names. I cited 2 examples.

    Sorry if I have offended any fans of said bands but that is just the way I feel. Then again, what do I know. I listen to a band called Meat Beat Manifesto :)
    (which I think is a seriously bad name but the music is great)

    Finding a good name isnt that easy I guess. But I think serious but unoriginal names are worse than dumb ones. At least the dumb ones are weird. Something like "The Killers" is just so ordinary.

    Strawberry Alarm Clock
    Sex Pistols
    Dayglo Abortions
    Bif Naked

    and some of that music is pretty damn good!

    Monty Python had a good bit about band names on their "Contractual Obligation" album and how they evolve and such...quite amuzing!!
