  1. I started a topic against this kinda BS a little while ago.

    I just find it funny that a band OBVIOUSLY can't get big without every fan of thiers having "jumped on the bandwagon".

    Do I like all of the bands mentioned? No....but they obviously have something to offer the people that do like them.

    Some people get way too wound up by what other people like...it's unhealthy.

    And is it really a shock that suddenly a lot of people start talking about them....when they release an album? When else do you expect talk of them to arrise?

  2. I liked Chrono Trigger...might be influenced by the fact time travel makes me happy.

    I liked True Crime: New York City too...I've only seen the bad cop ending, and it took me into the direction I expected, but the twist at the end of it (Marcus' godfather actually being alive) was really, really good.

  3. As much as I love Our Lady Peace, Raine Maida has to have the biggest holier-than-thou type personality I've ever seen in my life. Honestly.

    Kelly Osbourne...wait...is she still a singer? Either way, she's a whiny bitch...

    My Chemical Romance used to be quite humble, but now they seem a bit high on themselves...

  4. There are several, but I'd have to say the biggest is AFI. Havok's lyrics are so intricate, which is what I shoot for when I write songs.

    Neil Young's style has been creeping into some of my lyrics lately...almost talking to a specific person while writing is something that fascinates me...plus Young is a frikkin god.

  5. "Halloween" and "Last Caress" done by AFI kick multitudes of ass.

    Cake's version of "I Will Survive" is good. Better than the original if you hate disco like me.

    Our Lady Peace's version of "The Needle and the Damage Done" took me aback. Also, Pearl Jam's "Keep on Rockin' in the Free World" (Neil Young...mmm.)

    Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt"

    and finally, who can forget Me First and the Gimme Gimmes' version of "I Believe I Can Fly" ?

    Edit: Yeah...I copied this from another thread.

  6. Off the top of my head:

    Feeling Good - Muse (Originally Nina Simone)

    Cry Me A River - lostprophets (Originally The 'Lake)

    My Sharona - The Number Twelve Looks Like You (The Knacks)

    We Will Become Silhouettes - The Shins (The Postal Service)

    Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want - Deftones (The Smiths)

    This Night Has Opened My Eyes - At The Drive-In (The Smiths)

    No Quarter - Tool (Led Zepplin)

    Just Like Heaven - AFI (The Cure)

    Halleluljah (sp?) - Jeff Buckley

    ' ' - Rufus Wainwright

    The Undertaker - Puscifer (Renholder Remix)

    RCV 22-20 - Puscifer (Rev 4:20 Remix)

    The Last Sunrise - Aiden (Dusk Remix)

    The Outsider - A Perfect Circle (Renholder Remix)

    Judith - A Perfect Circle (Renhold Remix)

    Romantic Rights - Death From Above 1979 (Phone Lovers Remix)

    That'll do for now.
