I don't buy that you all can think the Strokes music is that bad, this stinks of backlash, the album is not nearly as bad as a lot of crap that has come out since, it isn't bad in the way that the vines is horrible.

And Sonick, again, please don't be so negative, don't make me point out every time that you are either.

I'd just like to point out how hip I am by saying that I hated them after hearing their FIRST album.

I think Mankie was in my hipster club as well.

No, hip is hating them after hearing the rough mixes of their first album that you got from a friend of a buddy of someone who knows someone in the band.

i think i dislike the Strokes because they were just thrown in with the White Stripes…although, it seemed more like the other way around. I liked the White Stripes and then all of a sudden they were second fiddle to a crappy band that everyone said "the white stripes sound like the strokes"

So you let the opinions and impressions of other people dictate what you like and dislike?

I am half with jadetree on this……

lets see….

The vines album is surprisingly much better than their live show. The album is actualy pretty good.

As for the strokes, well a lot lot of you lot are fickle, fey, fraudsters. You support them on the way up, then when they get somewhere you try and knock them back down.

The strokes may not be the greatest rock band ever, but are they really any worse or better than interpol or the white stripes? Is this it? is a pretty enjoyable listen and when they supported doves, they were one of the few support bands, I had never heard of before the show, to really get me to sit up and pay attention.

At least I'm consistant in calling them all shite….credit where credit is due though, White Stripes are the best of a bad bunch.

much worse. much much worse. although i must say the most grueling live show i have seen in a while was Interpol at Coachella. they insisted on playing the first 8 bars of "Untitled" 4 times because they kept fucking it up…i mean, really, cut to the next song, or pick up where you left off, i have been out in the sun all day and i am too tired to stand almost.

Where would you guys suggest they play? Of course they're going to go with a larger venue where they can make the most money. Five years from now, they'll be reduced to playing places like JAXX, and their fans will have moved on to some other flavor. Better make the $$ now.
friday/saturday double show at the 930.

i keep forgetting that hating the strokes is oh so deck. please talk about how trail of dead rips off sonic youth next
