Wonderwall? I hate you Australia.

The guitar riff is like pulling teeth.

Like these teeth.

Do you feel that Nickelback are criminally underrated? :)


In a way :p

Nickelback are very average, but I've never understood why they have been singled out as the international standard for 'shit band' ahead of the likes of Powderfinger, Jet, Simple Plan and the gazillions of other very average rock bands out there.

That is a very valid point.

I would no sooner listen to the Foo Fighters than Nickelback as they are the same vanilla poo to my ears and yet Nickelback cop all the shit???

I'm off to buy a Nickelback cd to give them a chance.

Modest Mouse are criminally underrated. Possibly because they have such a stupid name.


They were one of those bands that I heard the name before the music. My wife kept saying, "you should listen to them, you'd like them". I ignored her for a while but felt a right dill when Fly Trapped in a Jar popped up in one of my Genius playlists and I had to ask her who it was. Lesson learned. Always trust wifey, she knows you better than you think.

Another funny story re band names: When I first heard the name Sigur Ros, I had no idea who they were or what they sounded like but had an image of them based on their name that they were some alternative euro-heavymetal type band. Couldn't have been more off the mark if I tried.

This reminds me of an experience I had recently. Hands up who knows and likes this song. Keep your hands up if you knew the name of the band.



I heard it on a game about a month ago which reminded me that it existed, and I've spent the last month trying to figure out where I knew it from. I've asked 5 other people, all of them knew the song, but none of them knew a) the band name or b) where they'd heard it.
 
Only 11 songs from the 100 feature in any of my playlists. Hmm.

Radiohead - Paranoid Android
The Prodigy - Breathe
Blink 182 - Dammit
Smashing Pumpkins - 1979
System of a Down - Chop Suey
The Dandy Warhols - Bohemian Like You
Tool - Stinkfist
Radiohead - Karma Police
NIN - Closer
Daft Punk - One More Time
Underworld - Born Slippy
Daft Punk - Around the World
RATM - Bulls on Parade
Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
Jebediah - Leaving Home

15 on my ipod.

From wikipedia:
"How You Like Me Now?" is featured in several television series episodes: the sixth season finale of Entourage; the fourth episode of Community; the third episode of Rookie Blue;
I have seen all of these, so thats my reason.

I started listening to The Heavy when I saw the trailer for the game Arkham Asylum and really liked the song.
