U2 has not made a good album since Achtung Baby. The latest album they made is by far the worst one yet.
I have never liked DMB since the very first time I heard him bellow out "What would you say?" Yes, I understand all the arguments...."you have to see him live". I went and saw him live my junior year of high school. I gave it a shot and was kind of pumped since Galactic opened, and I am a Galactic fan. Anyway, the Dave performance was on my list of the 3 worst concerts I have ever seen. I find it hard to believe that he is still on the radar, but he'll have a cult following forever, just like a Jimmy Buffett, so he can have more chances to dump all the sewage and s*it out of his bus and into lakes and rivers.
Anyway, today I am going to give the new Los Lonely Boys album a try. I want to hear the new Keane album as well, I dug the first one for a while. Got to get my favorite CD release of the last few months out as well, Surprise by Paul Simon.
It's a*bit* more than a cult following at this point

A band was brought up in another thread, and I normally would have flamed, but it was a totally inapproprate place to flame some ( I know, I know, I showed concience and restraint in flaming someone, I think it's a first on here). But I just can't let it go, becuase this band sucks so fuking bad.
Offspring are fuking last.
And I have this wierd soft spot for nine's brit pop. Love oasis first two albums. Love Love pulp ( Common people is one of my favorite songs ever. Reminded me of so many twats at college ( If you guys start seeing me use more and more random british slang, it's cause I'm now contributing to that Chavscum.com message board, and british slang makes me giggle).

I had a chance to see them live, but I passed it up! It was summer 2001, and about 2 weeks before I became a fan. Oh well.

I think I may just give up for a while, try again in a week or so. Judging from reviews on Amazon, it seems you either love him, or hate him, not much in between. Or maybe that's just the nature of reviews, you only review them if you love them or hate them. Whatever, I suspect I may hate his music, but I won't give up yet. Maybe I'll try his other stuff as you suggest.
