[punkforlife]

Isn't it obvious?

not really, unless your trying to suggest that you can't be 'punkforlife' and listen to or at least acknowledge the talent of other musicians/bands. fuck, thats like saying that someone who supports one sports team can't then admire the ability of those who play for other teams aside from the one that individual supports let alone the skills of someone who play a different sport altogether. it just makes no sense.

[towhatend]

I like a million bands that aren't punk so it isn't really worth typing it out.

I really don't listen to bands because of their musical talent or their lyrics...I guess I'm just not that deep...I listen to it for the way it sounds and if it strikes me as good or not...thus, DMB does not strike me as good in anyway shape or form, so I still think they suck. :)

[Mercy Medical]

Coldplay.
I don't get the big deal about Coldplay either...don't like their sound. :/

Ah, no, they are incredible. They are a band that makes such good songs, it really makes me want to make music.

[charly horse]

I hate coldplay. end of story.
