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.

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.

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 ·

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!
