YAMT: Good Charlotte yay or nay?

[50]

Way too mainstream now....lyrics suck now too

 

[stormbv]

nay

 

[rocadelpunk]

have you ever read the lyrics? They are so trite and pointless...completely artless , it should be criminal to label them as punk or anything resembling. On the other hand, if you want to meet lots of 15yr old girls at concerts, they might be right up your alley.


hmm I'll be nice and set you on the right track with some good cds.

brand new- your favorite weapon
brand new- deja entrendu
at the drive in- relationship of command
the mars volta- deloused in the conotarium (sp)
coheed and cambria- second stage turbine blade
coheed and cambria - in dieing secrets
thursday- war all the tiem
thursday- full collapse
park- no signal
jimmy eat world- clarity
gatsby's american dream- ribbons and sugar
gatsby's american dream- why we fight
time to fly- birth work death
the get up kids- something to write home about
northstar- is this thing loaded?
saves the day- stay what you are
cursive- the ugly organ
mae- destination beautiful
elliot- false cathredals
cursive- domestica
the early november- for all of this
the early november- there new cd, i forget what it's called
new death cab for cutie
new pretty girls make graves (pretty artsy)
bright eyes -fevers and mirrors
the new amsterdams
over it


sorry i got distracted..um good enough list.

stop watchign mtv.

WTF I didn't know Tim to Fly made it out to Ohio. Those guys are local, I used to go to their shows now and then. Good stuff, they have the kind of disregard for the audience that I have started to miss at concerts since grunge went out.

[Sid59]

[SludgeFactory]

Rule of thumb for majority of modern bands: find out who their influences are and buy that instead.

Every time there is a music thread, there is always "that guy" who has to post all their alternative nobodys-ever-heard-of-it-so-it-must-be-good type of crap, and express their distaste of MTV/Radio/General media, and naturally, use music as thier roadmap of their personality. Kinda lame.


That being said, Good Charlotte does suck, IMO.

 

[mpitts]

I liked their first record OK. It was never my favorite. There were some good songs.

I don't like their newest record. Plus they are pretty-boys playing punk-rock dress-up.

Midtown is a million times better than GC.

 

[Actaeon]

Good Charlotte used to rock in my book. Before they got big.

Now they are too popish, and I really don't like the marketing.

Music is still good, though the first cd was better.

Some good stuff up in there, but you don't like Death Cab for Cutie's old stuff? The Photo Albulm? :Q

 

[Cerb]

Bad doesn't do them justice.

 

[PunDogg]

How big is big? I knew them when they were playing in Holiday Inn's and distributing their stickers in High School, because they were still in High School. I went to HS with them, and it still amazes me that so many people know of this band from La Plata, Maryland, Charles County (love them or hate them).

 

[Justin218]

I like em, don't like the image that much, but the music sounds good to me.

 

[styrafoam]

You have tough ears. It's painful, IMO.

 

[BaboonGuy]

Listen to "Seasons." Then learn to play it and sing it and the ladies are yours.

I always thought that was funny too. Fans love a group until they sign a record deal, then all of a sudden they are "sellouts", and no longer "keeping it real" or some bullsh!t. Then they move on to the next "underground" group, because it's not cool to listen to music that any significant number of other people listen to.

HAHAHAHAHA, enough for me to stay away from them.



/goes to Borders and buys every Good Charlotte cd

 

[MagicianBdotCom]

Great songs, it's pop music guys, give it a break. Pop music isn't supposed to be brilliant or original, it's pop!

 

[Shawn]

they are alright. I used to like them back before anyone knew who they were.... had their first cd. they are so overplayed now though I just can't stand them anymore.
