the donnas

ok—opinions, anyone seen them live? I've heard nothing but good stuff.

www.thedonnas.com

Can't stand them at all. To me, they are just bad noisy sloppy Girl Pop.

There are a few people here though who do like them so it would depend on your taste in music.

I dated a Donna years ago. Smart, reasonably pretty, but totally lacking in sense of humor. Don't know if all Donna's are like that. Celeste's are much more appealing.

I know a Donna who has a great sense of humor but she too hates the band The Donnas.

hehehehe, I just met this guy who loves the donnas and loves Ted Leo, and Im trying to find the comparison, cause though not loathing of the donnas, not particularly impressed either.

nb. ted leo will be at the bc in september for a solo show, but you all probably know that already (its on the list)

For the life of me, I've never, ever seen the appeal of any of that kind of crap. I can't stand those kinds of shows or performances. It's even lower than the lowest common denominator.

I absolutely hate that band! Can't stand Porno For Pyros either. It's mostly Perry Ferrel's voice that drives me fucking insane! It's that spoilt rotten brat little boy whiney that I can't take.

I can't stand Apples In Stereo. Really whiney fake college Art Rock. Noisy minimalist crap Rock.

Wilco sounds like boring old people's music. They could use some of those emergency heart paddles.

Somebody has been kind of pissy lately…..

Yeah, it does sound like it but ironically, I'm in a good mood. It's just that people are posting today about some bands and things that I can't stand. I'm not even PMSing. :D

-Edit-
Damn, GGW! That took some research. I never realized before that you were that obsessed with me. :eek:

Ted Leo certainly is more interesting than the Donnas although both acts tend to wear their inluences a little too boldly.

And anyone who has the nerve to wear bondage pants, without looking like it's a costume, is alright by me. ;)

Ted Leo, though only ever seen him a couple of times, I think is much, much better than the donnas, though as far as girl bands go I think they're good. Certainly better than classics like the Go-Gos (which, I consider to be a guilty pleasure group – Culture Club is also a guilty pleasure group)still I don't think I'd necessarly put myself out to seem the donnas live.

you seem to forget that Billy Bragg had a bigger say in that record than wilco did, if you want to blame somebody, blame Woody Guthrie's daughter

Actually, it's quite simple with the new "view users posts" function.

Very true.

Ted Leo is very good live. I saw the Donnas before their big major label push and was not at all impressed.

I am a late Ted Leo adaopter….. the upcoming show at blackcat will be my first. Were the other shows good?

I have no real desire to see the donnas. Well a little morbid curiosity to see why they never show their faces in videos. I suspect the worst.

I was at a Donnas show once, but as soon as Superdrag was done, I took off.

whatever the reason. Before he met Wilco he made "dont try this at home" a great, great album. Afterward he made the limp bloke on bloke. I think wilco sucked his life force.
