Who here actually rates 3DD? They are quite popular in the states but in Aus they hasrdly get any airplay.
Personally I think they are great and are one of my favourite bands.
 
Their best track was a hidden track on Away From The Sun...apart from that, as phoenix says, they're very very bland. Just another rock band.

I don't mind them

Absolute shyte. More boring that Alex Lloyd and REM.

bunsen, when you hear me bagging triple M rock, this is the kind of sh*t I'm talking about, Three Doors Down/Nickelcack or whatever, it's all the same sh*t, and it's all BLAND.

I totally agree. Hate all this type of crap. Matchbox 20, Goo Goo Dolls, Creed, Tonic. Just bland middle of the road shyyyyyte.

They had a real bad period in the 90s where this sort of tripe was all they played. I used to dismiss early powderfinger and Smashing Pumpkins because it was hard to distinguish good from bad and hard to weed out the few good bands.

Love all that stuff...
Throw in Fuel as well.

Cant stand basically everything on Tripple J, Hate the "radio anouncers" on tripple j.

Give me top 40 rock any day.

Each to their own i suppose.

You have faulty taste buds. It's MOR cack. Rock just isn't what it used to be. That's stuff that girls think is rock. You know, chicks who listen to Kyle and Jackie O and video hits and think that stuff is "rock".

They do play plenty of crap but at least it's not crap pretending to be rock. The JJJ radio announcers and their left wing bias do suck too. I don't want to hear politics and whining when I listen to the radio.

Give me top 40 rock any day.
Unfortunatley and ironically Sting came out the other day and told us it was unimaginitive pap.
 
3 Doors Down are one of my favourite bands. I have all of their albums however their latest "Seventeen Days" isn't much good.

"Away from the Sun" is easily my favourite album however Kryptonite is my favourite song of theirs.

I find it funny how people judge 3DD because of what they've heard on the radio. You guys have seemed to judge purely on the fact that if you dont like "Here without you" that they suck.

I'm glad that they dont get much airplay here though. The more airplay, the more poppy a group gets.

All those bands bunsen mentioned are so ****ing painfully interchangeable.

Contrived, poorly played nonsense.

What made you think that? You just pulled that one out of your arse.

I've listened to enough of their stuff to form the opinion that they are boring MOR lacklustre crap. I almost feel sorry for anyone who thinks this stuff is good rock.

Astoundingly stupid comment. So you're saying if 3DD got more airtime in Australia then 3DD would start getting more "poppy". Ridiculous.

3DD = boring, methodical, un-edgy, risk free dross.

I need to go into bat for Tonic here. Their Carlton Cold Live at the Chapel acoustic set is one of the best I've heard. Acoustics at it's finest.

Geez.

I wish you were sitting next to me so I could hit you across the head with an Alice in Chains' MTV DVD.

Personally I enjoy most of those bands. Sure they may play simple music but it absolutly ****s all over any of this rap n rnb stuff around these days. Give any one a beat and a 4th grade rhyming book and they could do it.
Those bands actually have some talent to make their music which is 100% more than a lot of other artists who are popular for some reason.

i agree that the bands that bunsen has bought up are very average bland bands, but there is a resemblence of talent in there unlike a lot of the other crap that is being played nowadays. Of those bands REM is the only band i'd say i genuinely enjoy listening to and would sit down for an extended period... the other's i don't mind hearing the occasional song... but yeah at least their making the music, and all that sorta "cliche" stuff i could spout out.

3 doors down are the same, except their right at the end of the "blandness" scale if you want to call it that.... very very average.

I hate rnb with a pasion and very much dislike video hits type stuff. BUT, as a person brought up on rock, these bands and their bland style is just plain pap. I still have to question anyone who likes this stuff as there's better rock out there. Try White Stripes, Kings of Leon, Black Keys etc and back in the days of Goo Goo Dolls you should have been into Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam.

Although there's not much out there for rock people, there's always something better than that stuff.

Write a rap for me right now, considering how easy it is. Just write a really good rap, post it up.

You wouldn't have too Northbhoy because I've got it too - good, but not great. STP and PJ's are much better. The Tonic one I refer to above is just as good.

Then that's just sad. Ignorance is one thing. It's fixable. But taste in your arse in another.

That's my opinion dude - if you don't like it you know what you can do with it.

I doubt you've even seen the Tonic one I'm refering to. I'd hope you've seen both the STP and PJ's ones as they are of the same genre, but if you need to put down my musical taste to make yourself feel better, knock yourself out.
