Just a punk/rock cover of a Don Henly song. *shrugs*

I don't like the Ataris at all.

The Ataris are punk rock? I just assumed they were four guys having fun on stage. But I guess if you're not classic rock nowadays or don't use an acoustic guitar, you're punk. Rock on.

i like it a lot...never really heard the ataris until now but i knew they were around for 6 years or so and it is good they are getting some exposure. Radio stations sort of forced this song into a single since it wasnt the song the band actually planned to release.

my sister has been obsessed with the ataris for YEARS now, so i pretty much was sucked in to liking them. they are a really good, fun band, really fun to listen to. i highly enjoy them.

Seeing them live is great. It just makes me want to dance around. They're one of those bands you have to see live to really appreciate.

I agree with that. They're really fun live

the ataris have always been considered pop punk

Hell yes. Get on the punk wagon 'cause it's sure in for a hell of a ride...and that doesn't mean musically. Fuck, that didn't make sense. Another attempt at humour gone down the shitter.
Argh...I'm not too fond of them either. They're just another typical punk band trying to be "cool" and get some cashola.

who really cares what type of music they are considered
they are good at what they do and what they do is have fun and make me smile with clever lyrics

Personally, I like the original song better... My friend brought the CD over once and played it for me and I heard that song and was just kinda "eh" about it.

They started thier band before pop-punk became popular, thier just starting to get on MTV now. If they were just trying to be cool, they wouldn't have worked thier butts off on tour for the last 6 years now would they.

Sheesh. Sorry I don't research the history of the Ataris. 
I guess I should have put "they seem like" instead of "they are." However, I'm still allowed to have an opinion.

I feel the same way... I really don't care for most of the Ataris song library, but the way they covered this song is just awesome and addicting to listen to.

Alan... Why is it that you snapped at me for calling them "punk/rock", but when Jeff said that they're "pop-punk" you agreed with him without a hitch?
