Peoples ..... for the last friggin' time, I don't consider myself a fan of
MCR, but I liked that song. Giveth one a break, puh-lease.

 

While we're letting skeletons out of our closets, I also unapologetically
like songs/own albums by possibly-Gathering-despised artists such as:

 

Abba

Air

Andrew W.K.

Fiona Apple

The B52s

The Bee Gees

Big Country

Birdland

Blondie 

Blur

Boomtown Rats

Boston

Jeff Buckley

Kate Bush

The Cars

Neneh Cherry

Concrete Blonde

Elvis Costello

Crosby Stills & Nash

Crowded House

Terrence Trent D'arby

Daft punk

The Dandy Warhols

Deep Purple

Depeche Mode

 

....and those are just through the D's

 

Sue me.

On the subject of Alex's list, I stopped reading at the second tune... after
6:45 I couldn't afford to be disappointed by MCR being anywhere on the same
list... Golden Hour is one of the finest albums to come out in quite some
time!
long live Firewater!

No one (other than you) would ever think of putting The Shins up against
Daily Void, Oliver. That's the point. 

Feel free to mention for the 1000th time how you come from a DIY hc/punk
background, please. You'll get a trophy for it eventually.

Can you tell me what on earth I've done except be "unreasonable" in defense
of bands that've come about the past decade? Is that "Born Again
Christian"-ism for yo? I actually have shirts, LPs, CDs, etc by the band
Born Again. I'm an advocate for bands I like. Like Killing Joke.

The Jay Reatard stuff went way off the rails. That wasn't even the main
focus. So: How about Daily Void, from Chicago? I'm ready to go to bat for
them, too. BRING IT. Tell me how they suck compard to Busta Rhymes and The
Shins, too.

Go for it.

you're being about as reasonable and rational as a born-again Christian
because not everyone likes the same music you do?
