Diss stereophonics (my fave band) so take the oppurtunity to read.

Their version of "Don't Let Me Down" is bad.

That's all.

Can I diss them too? They're one of the most harmless bands in the world, but they still call themselves 'rock'. Them and Travis are awful, awful bands that should be shot from a cannon into the sun. A bit of originality wouldn't hurt.

I think all their songs are practically the same, they need to come up with a new style or something

The reason why I like them is because they aren't some huge rocky band actually. I like their style. But I don't know how you can compare them to Travis!

They're two high profile bands - and they both play their instruments (a rarity nowadays). Both consider themselves 'rock' bands, when they are both cleary disposable pop. Neither are important to the charts here or anywhere else in the world, except maybe to keep 3SL form the top spot every once in a while. In 10 years time the girls that fancy 'Frannie', or 'Kelly' will look back and laugh - the same as they will with Craig David, Robbie Williams, etc... It's quite easy to compare them actually - they're both crap*

*purely my opinion, others may differ.

I.E mine.

Stereophonics - They're a guitar band. They're music isn't shouty using extremes on electric guitars, therefore have catchy songs, put me in a good mood, aren't depressing like Coldplay, not metal-y and another craze in music including bands like Lost Prophets, not irritating and unskilful like pop. They rule.

Travis - Similar to Stereophonics, but are often repetitive and depressing. Driftwood's a good track, though.

If Travis think they're music is rock, then they're stupid, but that doesn't suddenly make their music bad. If Stereophonics think so, then they aren't entirely, because some of the music on their albums is rocky, but it does depend on what you define by the term "rock", as some people call rock metal-y stuff, and some people, i.e me include bands like Oasis and Stereophonics (Who i both like) as rock bands, by the fact that they have a drummer and guitarists that are called part of the band. And it ain't jazz.

With nu-metal and punk now so popular, I can't seem to be able to define a categorical difference between the bands I do and don't like. I just have to go into huge descriptions, and stuff.

The thing is, some of my friends call my taste, such as Oasis and Stereophonics "light rock", but some of their songs don't seem fitting to that title. I find myself calling them guitar bands these days.

I can sort of understand why their into Craig and Robbie, but they must be mad to fancy Frannie and Kelly......

By the way, I meant that Stereophonics aren't entirely "wrong" whn they think they're music is rock.
