    I first heard MCR when Gerard Way's hair was still black.

    The fashion style has improved that's about it. And thankfully I listen to a radio station that doesn't even play them. They're too busy playing Public Enemy, RATM, Bob Marley, Pearl Jam, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Radiohead, The English Beat, The Smiths, etc to be bothered with that crap.

    And what station might this be?! Sounds like my kind of station!

    No, but close...San Clemente.

    I'm in that in-between zone where I can still get 94.9 KBZT at home and in my car and life is good....until I get to Dana Point. Then the CD player gets turned on (it's practically a morning ritual). God knows I'm not listening to KROQ or anything else like it.

    If you work for KBZT, yay for you! And please pass on the message that you folks do it just right.

    No mate, the reason no-one here like My Chemical ROmance is that they are shit. Talentless wankers who can't write a decent song to save their lives.
    I had the misfortune of being cubjected to their "music" live and I nearly wanted to kill myself afterwards.

    There is a BIG difference between Radiohead and MCR, that being that Thom York is an excellent songwriter. In fact, Thom Yorke is a fucking genius, this little foggt is far from it.

    In the end, it's the music that counts, not what's cool, and it's the music that is shit.


    well said! i can't wait 'till they take this crap music off the radio! It should be under the genre: CRAP

    From the same site you sited in your post, the "Band" section:

    Debut album “The Back Room” (July 2005) had entered the charts at Number 13 but continued to find fans throughout the autumn

    well they count as my 2006 ...

    thanx man, i am not a fan of radio, but i think we do a decent job overall - a great job compared to other stations.

    next time i am on air i will play a typically non-radio song in your honor :)

    i assume foggt was supposed to be faggot and that is indicative of your intelligence and maturity?

    thom yorke is a "genius" becos he's had 10 years to stick around. the jury is out on mcr. honestly, ive never heard a single MCR song in my life. i have no idea what they sound like. but i find many other people who claim to loathe them are in the same camp... they've never heard a song. they simply heard their name in conjunciton with another band they dislike and dismiss them for it. or they hate the "scene."

    "it's not the band i hate, it's their fans."
    I said quite clearly in my post that I have seen them live, and it'd be quite a task to do so without hearing a single song.
    I was also asked by a friend with awful taste in music to listen to their new album. I did so.
    It was the worst, most insnsitive thing I have ever heard, especially "Cancer", that "song" couldn't be any more ridiculous or heavy handed if you wrote it on a brick and smashed me round the face with it.

    The only "camps" here are those who like their music, thos who don't and thos who happen to think that it is an awful hatecrime perpetrated on mankind by a God that hates. I am in the latter.

    i listened to the album last night. i dont care for it. it's not very good. but ive yet to hear any music that seems to arouse the kind of loathing you reserve for this band. you have to be in high school. it's the only time in life when one can be so pretentious about who's cool based on their music.

    Actually, I met quite a few people in college who were like this as well. They just got made fun of for it. So I guess you're right that HS is the only time you can get away with it :)

    Cold War Kids- "Robbers & Cowards"...kind of blew my little mind
    TV on The Radio- "Return To Cookie Mountain"....what else can you say about this?
    Audioslave- "Revelations"...no doubt the solo venture will be even better
    The Beatles- "Love"....oh, yeah
    Tom Petty- "Highway Companion"....the old warhorse
    Keven Federline- "Playng With Fire".....just kidding
