Ha Keane!

They're fucking muck.

 

[SomethingManic]

They are not!
You have to look behind the eyes, Washingcattle. They actually show a lot of nihilism, depression, anxiety and anti-religion in their second and third albums.

This thread is gay

I hate Slint too. And Shellac, Yo La Tengo and Sonic Youth.

 

[coast to coast]

Saying something contentious just basically means slagging off something that is supposed to be mildly popular or an attempt to admit you Keane.

I don't really understand the thread, but eh...

1. Foo Fighters are awfully overrated. All their songs sound the fucking same.

no they're not and yes I suppose they do. First two albums are still great.

2. I really hate gifs.

now that is something contentious.

3. Keane are incredibly overlooked. People just think of "Somewhere Only We Know" and "Everybody's Changing" and think of some poncy posh boys, but it's not true at all. The Under the Iron Sea album is a masterpiece.

ahahahahahaha

People said the same about that Darren Hayes album so I gave it a listen. Still absolute shite.

4. There is no fight, no anger, no politics and no soul in any GOOD music released in the last few years.

oh lord. Manics fans, eh? What to do with them...

I'm not convinced by the wording of this at all.

It sorta implies that those are four qualities only to be found in bad music. Or you only consider chart teen pop to be good. either is fine, just i dont find the sentence definitive.

Keane have second and third albums?

I thought they only had one song and then disappeared cos the singer went a bit off the rails.

Yeah, I kinda messed up the wording there I suppose. Basically, my post is a continuation of:

Its great that theres a thriving underground music scene and all but its just a pity that most of the music is shit

I just mean there's a serious lack of intelligent music about, you know? Surely the last few years in Irish politics could have inspired U2, Bell X1, Coronas or Delorentos or any Irish band to write a song about it, transfer the anger of the people to a song? But no.

 

[Goodbye]

Hay, don't drag me into this.
If you've your own point to make, do it on you own.

 

[SomethingManic]

I know there is. Problem is half of it is muck.

And besides..who gives a fuck about politics?That shit has no place in music.

Why not? Should we all sing about shy boys falling in love with the girl-next-door? And oh! By the end of the song they fall in love at a disco! Awwh, how nice What a lovely and happy place the world is

I'm trying. It's just you've worded it better than me!

People who buy or ever bought CDs are stupid.

Ha! Anthony is the most stupid of all!

Irish people are far too lazy to be angry

Go buy a thesaurus.
