I'd like to note that I don't have any MGB cd's, but I like their singles. He seems to have a good knack for not having one hit wonders, Kudso Matt Good. :nod:

Oh yeah, anti pop Is a very cool song.

Great video too.

I really like anything on Audio of Being. I'm not so huge for the earlier stuff, at least not compared to Audio of Being. Apparitions is a brilliant song, though.

Mmm. MGB thread.

Best intro to a song: Man Of Action

Best outro to a song: Born To Kill

I could go on for hours.

I like Indestructable too...
Megan, have you downloaded anything yet? What do you think?

megxyz128 · Post by **megxyz128** » 8/12/2002, 1:47 pm

Hey! Yeah, I downloaded a bunch of the stuff you guys recommended, and I have to say that "Apparitions" is an absolutely amazing song, I love it. "Hello Time Bomb" is good too, I think I've heard it on the radio or something before because it sounded familiar. Other ones I really like are "Rico", "Boy and His Machine Gun", and "Everything Is Automatic"

I have yet to have money to buy any of their albums, but I'm going to once I get the chance. Thanks to all who suggested songs. - Megan

Definitely get either INDESTRUCTIBLE or PRIME TIME DELIVERANCE if you haven't already...

...and if you have more time, try these::: She's Got A New Disguise, My Out of Style is Coming Back, Under The Influence, I Miss New Wave, Failing the Roscharch Test, Vermillion, Symbolistic White Walls, Sort of A Protest Song, Change of Season (the extended solo is amazing), and Suburbia

man, I just noticed that MGB have the coolest song titles

Bananababy · Post by **Bananababy** » 8/12/2002, 4:21 pm

heh, I like that title: My Out of Style is Coming Back :mrgreen:
