That's cool with me though, becasue I don't look to Muse for thought provoking lyrics, a big fat riff and a catchy chorus works for me, and they bring those by the spade full.
And that is just entirely inconsistent with your previous comment, making it null and void. I stand by my previous post.
'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'
I'm pretty sure HLF doesn't actually think Muse's lyrics are intelligent. He is saying that Matt Bellamy does, or rather he acts like they are.
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

Ah right, I took it as 'people are dumb enough to think it is intelligent'. What I was saying was that perhaps only a younger person with less life experience etc would consider them intelligent.

Is it not obvious that I meant that? Ah well...

Anyway I'm off out, been fun chatting with you chaps.

That was beautiful closure man... I'd give you a (nother) hug if I could. I'm almost teary. *sniff*

It's all fun and games, besides it got you to admit you like Fall Out Boy
Win.

I've said that plenty of times on this board. If people try to mock me for it then I'll just get all pretentious and obnoxious and show my in depth knowledge of countless styles and eras of music. Then I'll make them a playlist to listen to with songs from the likes of John Zorn, Port-Royal, Susie Ibarra, Eric Dolphy, Merzbow, Jackson C Frank, Amon Tobin, Anthony Braxton, Arvo Part, Souls of Mischief AND FALL OUT BOY and tell them to fuck right off!

Radiohead
The Shins
The Raconteurs
Dave Matthews Band
... fifth is wide open, not too sure who to go with. Music, in general, is in a state of emergency at the moment.
I figured out what band would take my last open spot and it's definitely the... Black Keys! GREAT BAND! Finally gave them a chance and they delivered.
"Don't come closer or I'll have to go
Holding me like gravity are places that pull
If ever there was someone to keep me at home
It would be you..."
Ween....amazingly talented and amazing 3 hour+ live shows! LEAVE DEANER ALONE....DEANER DEANER!
Pearl Jam...18 years and going strong, enough said.
Flaming Lips....crazy talent and stage presence. Who would have thought a bunch of fearless freaks from OK City who didn't know how to play instruments could make such kick ass and inspirational music.
I know everyone will base their picks off of different things. I'm basing mine simply by quality of recent studio recordings and excitement of live shows.
Here are my top 5:
1- Radiohead (every album is amazing, bootlegs are intense)
2- Pearl Jam (my favorite but imo #2)
3- Arcade Fire (i think neon bible was the best album of last year and their live shows are wonderful- trying to watch everything that is happening is impossible)
4- Mars Volta (unbelievably talented- in the studio and on tour. their shows make you trip with no drugs involved)
5- White Stripes (i know only two members and one plays very basic drums but you have to admit they are charasmatic onstage)
this is interesting because i can see people bashing my list like crazy.
whats your top 5?
Over three years later and I am updating my list:
1- Radiohead
2- Pearl Jam
3- My Morning Jacket
4- Fleet Foxes
5- Arcade Fire
Would love to see others who have posted here in the past to update their list too. And of course new lists from new people.
1. Pearl Jam
2. Arcade Fire
3. My Morning Jacket
4. The National
5. RHCP/ Band of Horses
5 is dependent on the new album RHCP album
Love to see some love for The National. They just missed my list. Last year I saw them 3 times- once from second row at a secret show (and they played High Violet in its entirty weeks before it was released ).

OK, that was totally patronising and unnecessary..
And that is just entirely inconsistent with your previous comment, making it null and void. I stand by my previous post.
