Well I like... BIRDS!

I think I'll go into "anti-popular populist" mode here:
Yes. The Hives, The Vines, The White Stripes, The Strokes, The Cars, The Rolling Stones, The Lox, any band that has "The" in The name sucks ass. Yes, The Hives sound like The Rolling Stones. I'm sure The populace really is quite glad that I've exported my knowledge on how The bands of today suck, just because they're The bands of today.
Now, to realize how stupid that sounds is pretty obvious. Especially the Hives sounding like the Rolling Stones. If anyone ever listened to music past the 80's in this world today, we'd all know that the Hives have just about no real common ground with Mick and the boys. The Hives started trying to write Little Richard songs in a garage-rock style. What came out was their sound -- which has a better resemblance to Iggy Pop and The Stooges. I also would like someone to explain to me how "Main Offender" sounds like "Find Another Girl", or hell, how "Hate To Say I Told You So" sounds so much like "The Hives Introduce The Metric System In Time".
The Vines is basically the world's biggest pothead, Craig Nicholls, trying to be John Lennon. Thus, the weird sound of Highly Evolved. "Get Free" is about the hardest song on that entire album. The title track, second hardest. It's really quite a mellow album, and what would you expect from a pothead?
The White Stripes: garage-rock blues from Detroit without bass. The most original of "The" bands. Remember back when rock wasn't clean-shaven and sent to be piped in over malls and elevators? They're the best example of that bygone time being able to be ressurected.
The Strokes... how do I put this? The most electric band I've ever seen live. The guys who have the perfect debut album, who could have written this stuff in the mid-70's, before disco arrived, and stepped on stage, fitting perfectly. It sounds good for today's stuff. There's a timeless quality to the songs, stuff we haven't heard in rock. A novel idea, chasing girls is. Is it not? No "wah-wah my heart is broken" stuff. Just "I'm coming onto you" or "you're coming onto me". Amazing how well it works in conjunction with the music. The guitars are insane -- Albert Hammond Jr. has also cemented his place as one of the coolest motherfuckers alive to me as he bobbed his head, playing "Soma", his head looking up at the club lights, as he tried to keep his cigarette in his mouth.
You know what?
Here's my number, ladies and germs. Call me when I really give a damn who you think "sucks".
And see the first line in the signature.
