Best Welsh band?

[Poe-tryGirl]

Take your pick.

[yayitsjoe]

los campesinos, hands down.

[FullCollaspe]

Los Campesinos!

[Ryzenfall]

Los Campesinos! is the only option.

[BulleTheory]

ffaf

[Christrings]

So many good bands on this list!

[NateFoundGlory]

I love me some Lostprohets, followed closely by FFAF.

[Indoor Living]

The only one I haven't heard is apparently the only good one, so I'm not voting til I listen to them.

[Poe-tryGirl]

ffaf
They got my vote, too.

[briewer]

Already been done, Los Campesinos!, duh, all of the other options suck.

EDIT- ....and of course, they are behind Funeral For a Friend and Lostprophets and tied with Attack Attack. You guys are the worst.

[Nick Hull]

Los Campesinos. easily.

[flks511]

[briewer]

Alright, this is ridiculous. For every LC! dissenting post, I'm posting a LC! video. If you don't like this band, you don't like fun.

Right. Fuck us for having our own opinions.

[briewer]

Right. Fuck us for having our own opinions.
When your opinion is "Funeral For A Friend and Lostprophets are better than Los Campesinos!", then yeah, that's pretty much what I'm saying.

And I'm counting this as a post against Los Campesinos!, so...

LC! by far.

That's my favorite video of theirs.

[Absurdburd]

Los Campesinos! all the way.

Whatever, it's been working. Since I went on the offensive, LC! has moved ahead of Attack! Attack!

And since you voted for FFAF, I'm doing it some more.

Oh. How very ignorant of you.

[briewer]

Oh. How very ignorant of you.
How? I can accept opinions where the options are somewhat equivalent or arbitrary, but the rest of these bands--Lostprophets, Funeral For A Friend, Bullet For My Valentine, Attack! Attack! (puke)--are exceptionally bad. Like, intervention bad. I can accept if, say, this was a "Best English Band?" poll and you chose Radiohead when I think it is the Clash, because reasonable arguments can be made in favor of either. But this poll? No. There's no line of reasoning you can present to justify picking any of these over LC!. They're just that much better than all of the other options. Now if you don't mind:

I really had no idea i could find someone this childish and annoying through a forum. You've proven me wrong. Ffaf got my vote. And yes, i listen to LC!

Dude, your hard work is pointless. FFAF is still winning.

I won't call typing "Los Campesinos!" into the Youtube search protocol "hard work", and it's been bugging the hell out of everyone so I wouldn't say it's "pointless" either. And you know the saying "_______ is its own reward"? Well being a fan of FFAF is its own punishment. More people voting for FFAF just means more people are flagellating themselves pointlessly. The joke's on them.

Music is subjective, bro. Just because you like LC the most doesn't mean they're automatically the best Welsh band. There isn't any right answer to this poll, no matter how much you think there is.

Went for KIGH not massive on any of them. FFAF are alright. BFMV need to die.

I actually really like Lostprophets, minus the new single. Their last album was always a pretty happy listen for me.
Kids in Glass Houses are a close second though.

Oh wow, you're so indie. Can you teach me how to be as cool as you? Should I list Eternal Sunshine as my favorite movie? Or should I go buy a new scarf at H&M and pick up the new Grizzly Bear LP? Or should I use a thesaurus when I post my responses on AP.net? Damn man, I've never met an indie music snob before! You're so hip and unique!

[hockeyguitar99]

LC! are the only good band on this list.

2. Or I clearly don't care.
1. Annyoing people makes you right?
2. And that's why you lose. Ending an arguement with "I don't care" or "whatever" indicates loss of arguement.

No, you're right. You should just stay in this perpetual state of adolescence. Have fun rawking FFAF when you're 40.

1. Annyoing people makes you right?
When did we say anything about being right? You said, "you lose", which doesn't make much sense in the first place, but I clearly have not in any sense of the word.

2. And that's why you lose. Ending an arguement with "I don't care" or "whatever" indicates loss of arguement.
I didn't "end" anything, and I'm pretty sure that's almost completely dependent on the context in which you say it.

Lostprophets >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everyone else on that list.

You guys really should just give up with him. He's doing this just to aggravate everyone on here.

BFMV need to die.
GOOD LORD YES!

I enjoy the new single. ALOT better than Liberation Transmission.

[Poe-tryGirl]

GOOD LORD YES!
Will you chill with your Lostprophets love? Mutil-quote please!

Obvious statement is obvious.

And keeping with this theme, your bio isn't a "philosophy" on life, it's a credo, if you want anyone to take you seriously you should remove that Velvet Revolver song from your favorite songs and stop listing comic book series for your favorite books, and The Last Kiss is seriously the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life.

Sorry. I got side tracked and forgot to put them into one post.

Sir, credo or philosophy, I will call it what I wish. And I don't care if people take me seriously, it's fucking ap.net. I like Velvet Revolver. Stone Temple Pilots was one of the first bands I listened to growing up. Naturally I was curious about Weiland's next move. You disliking them, is fine by me. Comic books they may be, I still enjoyed them so I don't care. Alot of people hated The Last Kiss. Didn't make me dislike it just because it wasn't popular. Also didn't make me like it anymore because of that fact either. I simply enjoyed it. Plus Rachel Bilson is gorgeous. I hated Clockwork Orange but you don't see me getting all up in your face about it.

On a side note, you reminded me to update my profile. Thank you for that.

Thank you, I needed to see an opinionated rant that exists exclusively on a forum.

[stuntmaniac]

Quiet a few good bands, I chose Los Campesinos because their different!

[inthemidst]

If this were 5 years ago, I would say FFAF. Now, I say other.

Okay.

[patrickhowell]

So apparently, there's a difference between Attack! Attack! (from Wales, UK) and Attack Attack! (from Ohio, US). Interesting.

Lostprophets isn't the best band on the list, but they are my favorite of those.

I really despise it when actors/actresses cover up their awesome natural accents for a role. But when it comes to music, English all sounds the same most of the time. I didn't know FFAF were Welsh until I read up on them.

yeah i guess, the only person who sounds welsh when she sings is cerys matthews of catatonia.
ffaf are my favourite band ever, and they're all such nice guys aswell. they're pretty local to me. same goes for the blackout. and kids in glass houses... which i don't think were actually a part of poll now i've written that :L but equally awesome.

they're actually really good, they were around in the 90s. kinda alternative rock. and the accent just makes it even more interesting to listen to. really great.

you should. definitely worth a listen. think my favourite songs by them are "mulder and scully" and "i am the mob".
"international velvet" is great... but it's all in welsh except for the chorus so yano :L

[eleri_2110]

just on that one song
but the chorus is "every day when i wake up i thank the lord i'm welsh"
so that's probably why the verses are all in welsh lol. makes sense i guess... reguardless of that, it's a really good song.
