The Strokes

Fickle · 21st October 2003, 02:51

Okay, Okay.

I know their songs are unprofound and repetetive and easy.
I understand that the retro thing is getting overdone.
But something about the strokes strikes a chord with me. I dig them pretty hard, and I will probably get their new album (28th, October).

I don't know what it is about them, but I dig it.

Anybody else have such a confessional?

I recently rediscovered the Blue Oyster Cult. Does that count?

Can't say that I do.

i dont mind the strokes.. nothing extrodinary..
its what id call "easy listening"

I haven't really heard them yet. To be honest, I've been put off by the likes of NME licking their asses at every opportunity. Tongues right into the groove.

On a different note, I quite like Radio 4 (another NY band).

i suppose the reality is that they are just another neo-retro-thingo band.

another "the *s" band

Cylob · 21st October 2003, 15:27

Time won't be kind to such acts. The Strokes, White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Muse, etc etc etc. *yawn*.

Urge coming on, I will have to post a thread.

Cylob · 22nd October 2003, 06:34

sidd · 22nd October 2003, 06:59

Cylob · 22nd October 2003, 07:33
