    I much prefer straight up rock to any of that pretentious indie or britpop pablum that many on the boards seem to gravitate toward.

    Eat me alive, I dont care.

    I started with Bon Jovi at age 9. I still like em. working class rock, and they are fronted by a guy whose politics I like.

    After coming dangerously close to being a clone of every other 8th grader Aerosmith (Particularly 70's aerosmith) saved me (also lead me to PJ)

    My sister is a lesbian so in came the Indigo Girls. Who put on great shows and are again my kinda politics.

    Then came college and a little band called emmet swimming. who while slightly poppy are politically okay with me too.

    I own most of green days stuff because I enjoy that.

    I like a lot of music, and I'll even admit that I like rap too (NWA). Mainly the politically charged stuff but I like to have fun as well. I even like Journey, and I know some other people do to.

    PJ is my main squeeze, but you cant help where/how you grew up. I gave up trying to be cooler than anyone else a long time ago. (Well I still make fun of Britney Spears at least)

    new music idea:

    Hey I think you really might like this band called the Burden Brothers. They are straight up rock and are just awesome. Vaden Todd Lewis (lead singer) was the lead singer for platum selling band the Toadies. Taz Bentley (early rev horton heat drummer is on drums). They are on tour right now, and their live shows are bad ass. I've seen them live 4 times already. They meet the fans and sign stuff for ya after the shows too.

    Take a listen to some songs on their site: on the media player

    Hope this helps.

    I despise the strokes, but I like the Foo Fighters a ton. The Decemberists are awesome, but I don't like that many indie bands either. I just can't find much melody or anything interesting in there music. Which is strange because I love progressive rock and long complex songs, it's just that many indie bands seem to be coma inducing to me.

    U2. Judging by their last tour and album sales, they're still pretty popular. I still think they're making good music, even though on here a lot of people dislike them.

    Green Day's last album was a total surprise, better than I expected it to be.

    I like the Strokes as well, I saw them last year and they put on a good show.

    I haven't listened to any new Foo Fighters since One By One, which was a total disappointment.

    The only band you listed that didn't start as "indie,underground" is the Foo Fighters, does that mean in 3 years you'll love my morning jacket, kings of leon, the decemberists, and the rapture?

    It is much easier to listen to whatever music you enjoy and not concern yourself with how popular it is.

    bingo....although i do find much of the indie music that is promoted on this board to be rather bland for my tastes. i generally prefer more straight-up rock but some indie rock is pretty good, interpol are fantastic for instance.

    I've seen all of those bands on popular music channels quite often when they have albums out. I've never ever heard The Decemberists, Kings of Leon, ect on the radio, so yeah I'd say those bands listed are pretty popular. :confused:

    I agree! Not saying that a lot of you are, but there are so many people who are into indie bands simply because they want to be the indie music guy, not because they actually enjoy the music. Personally, I can't get into the indie bands that are the current fad. I don't like them, and I'm not going to pretend that I do.

    I have so many friends who "like" bands because they're "supposed" to. I don't buy into that bullshit. They'll say, "I like this song, but I don't think I'm supposed to" about, for instance, the new The Fray song. Or, "I'm supposed to like Broken Social Scene, but I don't", and yet, continue to listen to them, hoping they'll grow on them, because they will be cool if they do.

    Enjoy what you enjoy. Music is subjective and we all have our own unique musical tastes. Unless, of course, you're a fan of Nickelback. That's just wrong. ;):D
    No time to be void or save up on life. You got to spend it all.
