As a mod i'm allowed to verbally slap you in the face, now do you want me to verbally slap you in the face?

You're right the lyrics are annoying. I can't listen to more than half a song...

I love this band, i think Craig Finn is a great lyricist, i like absolutely everything about Boys and Girls in America except for track 7. Loved the first two albums and Lifter Puller as well. "Secret Santa Cruz" is one of my favourite songs. And with all this said, I can certainly understand why they don't appeal to so many people.

They're just like Springsteen's first few records. Dull, bar band level rock with great lyrics, but nothing else even vaguely interesting. Except Springsteen had the song Born To Run...these guys don't have anything.

E Street Band was traditional...but they were tight. Tell me...have you given Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. a fair listen from back to front?

Ornette · 01-21-2007, 11:01 AM

Yes I have. I'm just not a big fan of that style of music, to be honest.

Is your username a reference to Ornette Coleman?

Ornette · 01-21-2007, 02:14 PM

Yeah. Is yours a reference to Joe Strummer, or just strummers in general?
