Just bein' cute. Mark knows I love him like a brotha.

LOL! I think I'm kinda outta the loop on this. But- I'm getting wise.

Nevertheless- DCFC? Overrated. Coldplay? Whiney.

Well then you'll LOVE Death Cab for Cutie...

LOL! Yeah, I'm not exactly blown away by DCFC- but they don't bug me as much as Coldplay. Coldplay's songs are just so... whiney.

DCFC are just bland.... IMHO, of course.


Beej, I really want to propogate the term Irish Greg used:  Coldplay & their ilk are "Sad Bastard Music".

Rod, I really wish Mike wasn't a RegularGuy, because then I could respond, "How can I in good conscience flame someone who's already flaming?"

But he's not really flaming so I can't really respond that way...dammit!

But Mike, here's a list of my usual suspects in the Coldplay-clone lineup.  All these guys are from the UK & I honestly can't think of any that aren't.  Maybe you can.

Travis
Keane
Aqualung
Snow Patrol
Embrace

Well, yes, they're Brits. My point was, you don't have to be British to go into a studio and recreate a sound. (It's less about lyrics than about melody and instrumentation.)

Mike, I love ya like a brotha, too.  My initial point wasn't so much that only Brit bands can mimic Coldplay, but that maybe you didn't realize how different DCFC really was from them & if you did you might not make that judgment.  Then you suggested that there are plenty of non-UK bands cloning themselves after Coldplay & as far as I can tell it really IS just a UK* thing.

I hope that satisfies Rod's craving for a flame war.   :wink:  :wink:

*includes Northern Ireland, tho.

ETA:  I just realized after posting that why Rod wants a flame war.  He wants to see my cleavage every other post!   :shock:

You and I and indeed all here are but mere witnesses to the might & splendor that are The Johannson Two.

Well, I've been wondering too, who is that?  I'm not up on all the hotties, and at less than 100 pixels... but she does catch the eye.  Tell us before you change your icon!
Don't stand in the way of LOVE!

I should also add that my current quote is her response to a magazine profile.

If I could meet anyone living or dead it would be...yada yada
My favorite spot in the world is...yada yada
Sex on a first date...happens sometimes(!!).

So Beej can hold out hope!
