l've left off some stuff that is more accessible that l really love, because l figured many know them. (The Used, TBS, Unwritten Law, Queens of the Stone Age, Modest Mouse, etc) l've only recently gotten in to a lot of these, as well, so if anyone wants to rec me some from the above bands but different CDs or something, that could be cool. Or other bands, too. Or don't.

The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free - Dry Your Eyes, What is He Thinking, Empty Cans

worst. song. ever.

which one? :???:

guess it doesnt really matter though, cuz you're wrong. :wink:

The Streets in general suck.

They use mediocre hooks to surround cockney "ned/chav" lyrics that basically promote everything that sucks about the UK.
Awful awful awful.

right...well, l'm from florida and l don't know what sucks about the UK. What l do know is A Grand Don't Come For Free (and to a lesser extent Original Pirate Material) is a great album. Maybe it's different for Brits, but l know a few that share my opinion. l just think they're highly original, different, fun songs.

Lets see i have heard
