Rage Against the Machine
Coldplay
Incubus

[MaybeOneDay]

SR-71 = God.

I agree with that entire list with the exception of nickleback. Their music is decent, but the lead singer still looks like a drugged up Jesus even though he cut his hair now. And I'm traumatized easily.

Nickelback's frontman has a great voice cmon guy, u gotta give him that.

Eh, it's alright. It works with the music he plays.

And. I'm not a guy, although everyone seems to think I am.

[xnotyourstarx]

Holy shit. I missed my 100th post

The new one is really good, it just doesn't have the lyrical value for me that the other one did.

[FallingOut]

Dave Matthews Band owns every other band out there. Other good ones include Incubus, Coldplay, Collective Soul, Weezer, Dashboard, John Mayer, etc.

[piebaldkid42]

Come Along is another good song by them off their older album "Set It Off". But their new album is really awesome, so check out any song off that. It's called Phenomenom.


Search them up on mp3.com and you can listen to the title track off their new album. Great cd.

I never said Coldplay was better. If you clearly read my post it's meant to say that Coldplay is just a Radiohead rip off.

[mOvielife99]

i cant stand coldplay

no they're not...shut up...part of what makes coldplay good is the lyrical quality of their songs...just because they have similar sound doesnt mean they ripped them off...how many bands can you say that interpol has ripped off?? a million

[kevin]

Name one band Interpol has ripped off. Seriously, try.

And yes, Coldplay wants to be Radiohead. But really, who doesn't want to be Radiohead? So I guess it's justified.

[angie710]

Ahh, the Radiohead/Coldplay debate...

Two completely separate stylings vocally and two completely separate era's musically.... Maybe Coldplay used them for inspiration, but I wouldnt use the term "ripoff" Thats harsh...Personally, I'm partial to Radiohead, but thats just me...

the rolling stones!!!!!! probably the most obvious one there

or if you're looking for modern day shit that you would know...the strokes and other mindless band in the ny rock and roll scene who also rips off the stones

if coldplay wanted to be radiohead then they would start experimenting with electronic music and put out 2 shitty records...we'll see if that happens

[kevin]

Interpol sounds nothing like The Stones or The Strokes. Have you even heard the album?

[angie710]

Ahem...


2 shitty records?

Mindless Bands in the NY rock and roll scene?

:(

[kevin]

Kid A and Amnesiac might not be their best work but they definately aren't shit.

Interpol is from Europe.

ok, i was comparing them to their other records...compared to the bends and ok computer, thy're shit

and actually interpol is from nyc you stupid shit...and i own the cd..im a fan...but im not ignorant enough to say they are completely original

How were any of their other albums dissapointing? Sure they maybe be different, but can you honestly say they were bad?

Hail To Theif is a great album.

No, no Kev...They werent bad... They just paled in comparison, in my opinion.. Hail To Theif was better than the rest, like "Amnesiac"
and "My Iron Lung" .... I guess I was just spoiled.... I do, however love that song "Knives Out" off of Amnesiac..



Stop fighting boys.... Ill put your asses in the corner...

:cool:

[13th hour]

Hail to the Theif is awesome. "The raindrops, the raindrops."
and yes, Amnesiac is their weakest album, but really, its kinda a collection of B sides from the Kid A recordings. And anyone who says Kid A sucked is gonna have to fight me. :mad:

Holy shit.... I thought I was the only person in this world that listens to Jim Brickman .... I have both albums "Simple Things" and "Love Songs and Lullabies" It seriously brings tears to my eyes.. Plus, he's a pretty handsome fella... LOL...

50 Cent and Eminem.. I absolutely am a fan and have been since their careers hit the mainstream...Tight Rhymes, tight beats.. They amaze me... and GO YOU for saying Journey..I forgot that one!
