Lmfao.

I agree with you, but my problem is when people have a go at Sparky for pointing out that LMFAO are garbage. They are, and if you listen to them accept that you will be ridiculed on this site, deservedly.

I can certainly articulate why I like them but I doubt anything I'll say will consist of facts, just personal feelings and opinions. The biggest thing for me is simply how fun they are. I know you hate that for some reason, but they are. Sorry for Party Rocking is a fantastic party album. It's certainly not deep or complex or anything but it has the amazing ability to be either something I'll just quickly listen to the singles from or an album I'll listen to straight through. It's very rare for me to discover albums that do both things. And unlike the majority of contemporary pop music, I actually find the songs catchy as hell, but then I'm a sucker for minimalistic, sharp, hooky electronic riffs. An added bonus, and probably the thing that puts them over the top for me, is the complete and utter lack of seriousness on the album. On that front, they actually kind of remind me of Ween. Not that they sound at all like Ween, but the we-don't-give-a-fuck mood is similar. It's something I think is all too rare in the unironically posturing world of pop music and I absolutely love that about LMFAO.

I also agree with everything Sparky has said in this thread.

But hey, I am a Radiohead fan, so obviously I'm just a pretentious wanker.

Out of what I've heard they have 2 good songs and the rest fall between awful and decent. Party Rock and Champagne Showers are still sweet though.

I like most all kinds of EDM, but can't say I'm a fan of them. I think it's mainly the vocals that I don't like. And then there's also the fact that I'm not big on the sort of Electro they put their vocals to. 'Tisn't my cup of tea.

I'm sorry but I was making a joke with the "you said it." Comment. Pull your head out your arse.

Sometimes I wish my head would fit up there, least then I wouldn't have to endure Lmfao in my sister's car. I'd make sure I had some earphones in too, so I could listen to obscure Tibetan Folktronica and Progressive Bluescore.

Saying all that, I apologise for misinterpreting your post. Turns out I'm not so perfect after all, ey?
