well i just wrote this whole entry and now im gonna have to do it again cuz when i tried to save it it disappeared. and then i posted a blank blog. hmmm.
john mentioned "guilty" pleasures he had in music so i thought i could do a top five, and maybe everyone who wants to could do theirs here as well.
first, let me say that i have a certain nostalgia for the alt-rock i listened to in jr. high and high school (95-2000). and this list isnt really in order.
1. Bush - this band will not go down as the second coming of the rolling stones, but when i hear 16stone, i am immediately returned to 8th grade and am ready to rock and/or break something.
2. No Doubt - a similar 8th grade effect for "Spiderwebs" plus Gwen is beautiful.
3. The New Pornographers - this band is up and coming decent power pop. but how can you listen to them without feeling dirty? plus, theyre canadian. eh?
4. Our Lady Peace - 5 albums, the first and last of which suck pretty bad, but the 2nd and 3rd are pretty rockin'. i havent heard the fourth. aiee, aiee, aiee, yeah, superman's dead. also canadian.
5. The Cardigans - you know "Lovefool": "Love me Love me, say that you love me." i like the girl's voice which is why i was the only one who ever enjoyed this song. but their 2nd album "gran turismo" is completely different and is actually really good. try it, youll like it but b/c of lovefool, youll still feel the urge to hide your enjoyment.
