Your Favorite bands

Jason · Only in cartoons

I've been listening to the following artists lately:

Bloc Party
The Kooks
Fleet Foxes
Andrew Bird
Devotchka
The Foals
Jeff Buckley

I've also been listening to a great deal of classical (baroque, actually) music along with a class I'm taking, but I won't count that.

DEATHPIGGIE · I'm fat and nobody likes me

The Queers
Screeching Weasel
Beach Boys
The Ramones
Bad Religion even though I don't listen to them much anymore. I listened to Against The Grain this morning. Good stuff.

The Queers and Screeching Weasel have a very similar sound.

I agree that classical music is good. In fact, the best composers are absolutely sublime. However:

- A symphony orchestra is not a band

- A baroque chamber quartet is not a band

- An organ is not a band

- A chorus is not a band

- etc. etc.

2. Canadian. An aboriginal group officially recognized as an organized unit by the Canadian government. See Usage Note at First Nation.
A group of musicians who perform as an ensemble.

i guess the claim about the organ was accurate

Jason · Only in cartoons

The word "band" has acquired an uncouth air. It seems almost insulting to call something as refined as a symphony a mere "band".

In summary, I deal in connotation, you deal in denotation. We get it. You can remember that before pulling out the dictionary next time.

i blame it on ali baba and his band of 40 thieves. and robin hood and his band of merry men

I was actually thinking the same thing...

Dexter · Worst Poster of Always

Bad Religion, Flogging Molly, Dead Kennedy's, The Adolescents, The Police, The Ramones, The Beatles, John Lennon, The Who, Bob Dylan, Rise Against, and there's more but I'm tired of typing.

The Mars Volta and A Wilhelm Scream are my current two favorites. And I don't care what pizza says, Propagandhi gets better with each release.

Before, though I'm still friends with their last singer. I think they're officially broken up again - apparently no one can really get along with the non-jello members. I think the drummer left for drug problems then the other two just became dicks in the middle of making a new album and it all fell apart.

they should probably sue themselves for ruining dead kennedys' money-making potential

I should have mentioned Sigur Ros and This Will Destroy You. I've been getting into them lately.

WEH WEH WEH MY NAME IS MATHSEX AND EVERYBODY IS STUPID BUT ME.

The Ramones and The Clash were great bands. Sure, The Ramones weren't the greatest musicians, but you don't have to be a virtuoso to write great songs.

And so hitler listed a few bands that used to be trendy but aren't even that popular anymore. OMG IT'S THE END OF MUSIC AS WE KNOW IT. He's a Canadian, what do you expect? They don't know what's cool up there.

What was this in response to?

Jason · Only in cartoons

MATHSEX's claim that I was wrong to exclude classical music from a list of my favorite bands.
