they are better than a kick in the nads

As are the Spice Girls, Nsync, 98 Degrees, Pet Shop Boys, Backstreet Boys, etc.

I liked them until So Long Astoria

Blue Skies Broken Hearts is one of my all time fave cds.

They butchered that song.

have, you've got to be kidding.. it sounds almost identical to the original... the first time i heard it, i didtn even realize it was a cover until after teh song was over and the DJ said it was the Ataris, and then I realized that it hadnt been my imagination, it did sound a little different. I dont think they butchered it enough.

anyhow-- has anyone noticed how the classic rock stations have been playing the Don Henley version a lot lately-- i hear it at least 2-3 times a week on the classic rock station here on my way to work in the morning. They never played it before the Ataris redid it.

It's a good cover, maybe better than the original.

No way. They sped it up too much.

The cover is not that bad at all. Just some people being stupid anal retentive and think they are fans of music, but in reality have pretty clueless opinions. It is just a pseudo punk cover of it, and I think they did a pretty good job.
I like classic rock quite a bit, however I am not anal enough to say any cover of a classic rock song has to be a butcher.

It has been and always will be a Dead Head sticker on that Cadillac.

I love the ataris, good stuff. I like "In This Diary" better from So Long Astoria but I think the whole album is pretty good if you like poppy punk.

Their other singles suck IMO. Such is usually the case for new bands that release covers as breakthrough singles.

The Ataris arent a new band. How's that cave treating you?

And the cover is supposed to be fast. They're "punk" if you can call them that, or whatever category.

i like the phone booth version of that one song.... i can't seem to find it anywhere tho

I stand corrected.

I don't remember hearing any other singles from them, so it was a 'breakthrough' to me.
