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.
Listen to him. It's true.
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
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.
*They're all alike.
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)
this is from wikipedia....but i remember they got it from watching magical mystery tour. So blame the Beatles for the name
tie!!

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)
the electric prunes
the chocolate watchband
Jefferson airplane
13th floor elevators
crap names have been around forever
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.
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!!
theres a lot of crap on the radio yes, but there is better music than just rock n roll.
As for silly band names, nothing beats The Utterly Incredible Too Long Ago To Remember Sometimes Shouting At People. And they were around forty years ago: The acid was stronger then.
Floyd fans take note:

Even worse is Jefferson Starship
Yes, but punk bands do it for a reason.
Butthole Surfers
the Dead Milkmen etc etc
Maybe its just the way Death Cab For Cutie and Death From Above 1979 just plain don't roll off the tongue very well.
Death Cab would.... Death From Above would (but as someone already pointed out, its taken), even 1979 would.
I dunno.
If I was in a punk band, I would call them "the Phallus Cowboys" haha

If he's already frustrated with the music nowadays I'd say the Arctic Monkeys might push him over the edge and make him hate music altogether. I think they lack lyrical depth and are just a fun-sounding band. But they're really good for a debut album and they're pretty young so I hope that they do some developing in the future.
I don't know, I think they're refreshing. I didn't think the album would be all that good but I was pleasantly surprised, I'm looking forward to hearing what they come up with next. I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree.
