Are we losers if our favorite bands were already mainstream?

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

yes

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

hahhhha, okay, so i'm just semi-joking...what is your favorite main-stream band?

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003

Well the irony is that all my favorite mainstream bands have gone the other way. I love third eye blind and tonic, but they've gone downhill. And the only band i like that hasn't gone mainstream is Splender.

you know i've always been a huge wallflowers fan but they seem to be getting less popular as times goes on. this makes me sad.

reaf reafOG 2002

i havent heard anything about the wallflowers for like 4 years

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

they've had 2 albums since ....both are good but you have to be a true fan to appreciate the newest one.

reaf reafOG 2002

interesting comment

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

i say that because it isn't all "Catchy" and "pop-music"...it's somewhat dark (which i've always liked about them) but it has some excellent lyrics and jakob dylan's voice is always amazing. check out "breach"- their album from about 2 years ago.

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

i'm not sure whats worse....hearing abotu a band when they're already big..then them going downhill....or liking a band before they're big, and watching them get huge.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

wallflowers are really good---must be in the genes. ps-did you see jakob in the window at GAP?

don't u hate it when someone puts one new comment in the middle of the entire journal...then u have to scroll around looking for it...no? nevermind then.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Yeah..I really hate that.

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

oh, okay, those ARE mainsteram, but at least, they are not like Dave Matthews Band mainstream...ugh ugh ughhhhhhhhhh, i cant explain my hate for them...but yea, 3EB...i saw them a few years ago...i still love them...first s/t album is better than Blue though.

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003

I saw them play with the goo goo dolls last year and they played new songs. THey were good. I can't wait for the new album....

reaf reafOG 2002

OH FINALLY SOMEONE KNOWS HOW I FEEL ABOUT THAT BAND,, I SO VERY MUCH DISLIKE DAVE MATHEWS ITS UNBELEIVABLE!!!

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

i intensely dislike them too! i mean, come on, satellite and crash are the SAME SONG PEOPLE!!!!!!!

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003

yeah one of these days me and dave are going to throw it down....

magnum magnumOG 2001

seriously we need to form a club, the DMB Haters!!! I dont ever want to hear them on the radio again!

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

i'll be co-vice-president.

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003

Or how about 'the people who hate bands that have songs that make no sense and you can't understand the words or why they are so popular.'

magnum magnumOG 2001 hunkpapap

cause everyone is high at his concerts, no one knows what they hearing

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002

yeah Jahanna, I don't see the big deal with the Dave Matthews Band... ALL their songs sound EXACTLY the same. It's a genre of music I never cared for... I can't even define it!
