"Yeah, I saw a lot of nasty reviews, but B&S ask for that sometimes, often being perceived as a highly pretentious band....." Well... they are. But their music is great so I just ignore it. "Step Into My Office, Baby was one of the best songs of the year. As for the album...it was better than Fold Your Hands Child, at least." Why does everyone hate the fourth album? Honestly, it's amazing, it just doesn't reveal itself as fast as the other ones; I wouldn't say it's their best (their first two are unbeatable), but it's a really great album. |

I thought the new B&S got good reviews... Drew... listen to Selmasongs by Bjork. It might change your mind on her. |

Yeah, I'm with SolidSnakeASS. I pretty much listen to just old stuff, so I'm pretty dated. :/ However, although critics blasted it, the new Belle & Sebastian is fuckin great. I don't care what people say, I loved it. The new Cat Power was okay, too. Oh, and that new Neil Young album was decent. |

| crash0814 | Chutes Too Narrow rules...it's probably in the top 10. Oh, Inverted World was better though. | |

| Ooner | I don't listen to enough to make a list, but I think The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow should be in this thread somewhere. | |

I tend to judge other people's tastes, but I don't let them know about it. This is the first time, boo hoo. I'll continue not yelling at other people for liking bad music, even if it is made by a guy with a pseudo-deep voice and fake beatnik stories. Notice I never post in the music forum to bash things, but merely to suggest music I think is good to others and such. I slipped up, oh snap. EDIT: but I don't let them know about it. unless it's evanesence or something that's blatantly crap. |

| Rongi | I have, but I don't go around saying shit like "ME AND [ insert other names here ] ARE THE ONLY ONES HERE WITH TASTE" | |

| crash0814 | Aw, c'mon, man. You've never passed judgement on somebody's taste? | |

| crash0814 | Well, VU rules (obviously), but I haven't heard enough Can to pass judgement. | |
| Dec 21st, 2003 04:31 PM | ||
| Drew Katsikas | Well, I'm pretty biased in the sense that my definition of good tastes requires that one realizes the utter brilliance of either the Velvet Underground or Can. | |
| Dec 21st, 2003 04:30 PM | ||
| crash0814 | I like Bjork...but Evanescence?! | |
