Gin Blossoms vs Toad the Wet Sprocket

[NFS4]

Is it just me or does all of their stuff sound the same? I raided my housemate's MP3 collection off the network and was listening to their old stuff from the 90's.

 

[Mrvile]

I'll post for you. Yes, they all sound the same.

 

[Shawn]

[zoiks]

Yep. Both are cool.

Oh, I agree, they both rock...but after listening to them both back to back...all of their songs sorta run together.

They all have that sorta surfer boy beat to them

 

[mpitts]

Ok-sanaaaaaaaaaaaaa Baiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul

 

[StageLeft]

Both kick it phat, and you know that.

 

[randomlinh]

well, they do sound similar... eh, prolly why i like em both. well, certain songs anyway

 

[Renob]

TTWS very good live, when to see them in the early 90 and they were great. still like them.

Toad had a better catalogue ("In Light Syrup," their B-sides, was a better album than most first-run studio efforts) than the Gin Blossoms, and could rock a slow/bitter/serious song like no other early 90s jangly pop band, but both bands were fun and excellent and I wish that Toad would go back on tour so I could get over my obsession with them (or completely give in to it, haven't decided yet).

i like toad better.

 

[Jzero]

Similar styles, but Toad is waaaaaay better. I think the Toad show I went to was the best concert I have EVER seen. Milla Jovovich opening was not too painful, either.

 

[ZOOYUKA]

They are both terrible! Some of the worst music to come out of the 90's.

The Gin Blossoms and Toad the Wet Sprocket sound NOTHING alike.

 

[Aharami]

[CraigRT]

agreed. that's like saying backstreet boys and N'sync sound alike. HUGE difference.

 

[jalaram]

Don't forget Cracker. In fact, I also heard one DJ refer to them as "Toad the Gin Cracker" or something like that.

 

[pulse8]

Cracker didn't sound like Toad or the Gin Blossoms either.

 

[Toasthead]

Toad songs bring back many many memories. I guess I really liked them during one of those times in my life.

I think Im going to go listen to Dulcinea right now.

 

[abc]

both bands hail from AZ dont they... so it can make sense that they have the same sound... with their equipment and all.


I have a GinBlossoms LunchBox!

 

[Raincity]

I dont know about Toad but the Gin Blossoms just formed back in my college days at ASU.

 

[djheater]

Toad.

I don't thnk they sound the same...

Fear is an awesome album.

 

[zoiks]

I still like that 'Hey Jealousy' song to this day.

 

[Jfrag Teh Foul]

I like Toad better. Mostly because they got their name from a Monty Python skit, but hey whatever.
