i don't really like rascal flatts at all...i mean maybe a song or two, but...i think they're overrated

[Edited on June 29, 2008 at 2:39 AM. Reason : ^that's one of the songs i guess]

6/29/2008 2:38:32 AM

we have the same first name

but damn homey, come on

6/29/2008 2:39:23 AM

hahaha poopface

6/29/2008 2:40:59 AM

haha i feel that, dan

give that song a chance though...

[Edited on June 29, 2008 at 2:43 AM. Reason : yes it is, check it out]

6/29/2008 2:42:35 AM

i don't like them because they are fucking terrible

and also because they represent all that is wrong with "country" radio

[Edited on June 29, 2008 at 2:45 AM. Reason : Sex: M and you like Rascal Flatts? are you fucking serious?]

6/29/2008 2:44:34 AM

staring at you
taking off your makeup
wonderin why you even put it on

i know you think you do
but baby you dont need it
wish that you could see
what i see when its gone

i see a dust trail followin an old red nova
baby blue eyes your head on my shoulder
wait, baby dont move
right there it is

t shirt hangin off a dog wood branch
that river was cold but we gave love a chance

you dont look a day over fast cars and freedom
that jumped in a river bank first time feeling

6/29/2008 2:49:10 AM

thank you for those lyrics. it had been too long since i vomitted in my mouth

6/29/2008 2:51:41 AM

haha, i feel that

6/29/2008 2:52:06 AM

6/29/2008 3:17:14 AM

respect

6/29/2008 3:22:02 AM

they are everything that is wrong with modern "country" music

they take shitty pop songs, add pedal steel and/or fiddle, and call them country

they're fucking terrible

6/29/2008 3:40:20 AM

...words from a widely respected critic of music...

[Edited on June 29, 2008 at 3:42 AM. Reason : and if they're terrible, they're terrible all the way to the bank, son]

6/29/2008 3:41:35 AM

do you get paid to choose music? i do.

as far as the bank goes, good for them. they're going all the way to the bank with plastic haircuts and nothing resembling human emotion.

6/29/2008 3:43:13 AM

^ that made me laugh out loud

6/29/2008 3:44:19 AM

Rascal Flatts? Really, man? These people are right, they're more or less everything that's wrong with people's conception of country music. It's sort-of okay harmonies over mediocre pop songs. They're a bad rehash of N'Sync, except they sound like they may be southern, so they're "country." It's pop, and I wish people would accept it.

I mean, if you like them, we've all got our guilty pleasures, man. I've even heard a song of theirs that wasn't awful, so I guess there's hope. But chops-wise, weak sauce.

that means precisely dick.

I mean, Milli Vanilli was terrible all the way to the bank, too. See also: Britney Spears.

6/29/2008 3:50:38 AM

I respect that...bottom line - a lot of it is catchy.

I just had a good laugh at classic rock dj ole boy over there who justifies his expertise in music as saying he gets paid for it...

i guess we got millions of gourmet chefs in the world through burger flippers at mcdonalds and wendy's...i mean...they get paid to cook right...they must be experts.

6/29/2008 3:52:33 AM

^^ the jokes on consumers then, not them

6/29/2008 3:53:06 AM

yes, i am a classic rock dj. absolutely.

at least britney spears had two damn good singles and used to be hot.

^ so the joke's on you?

[Edited on June 29, 2008 at 3:54 AM. Reason : lola]

6/29/2008 3:55:45 AM

What hurts the most about this thread is that you guys are seriously arguing about this. My wish for you is to let this thread die.

6/29/2008 3:57:31 AM

two? Two? TWO?!?!?

one more time, sometimes, lucky, stronger, drive me crazy.....to name a few

sheeesh, nice dj we got here

6/29/2008 3:57:43 AM

i figured this thread could use some good shit where/whenever possible

toxic is fucking incredible, and the hook of stronger ("my loneliness ain't killin' me no more") is good enough to sell the song

6/29/2008 3:58:00 AM

i really hope you meant to open that post by saying "what hurst the most" shawna...thatd be crazy if not

[Edited on June 29, 2008 at 3:59 AM. Reason : and my wish for you, duh]

6/29/2008 3:58:29 AM

oh come on, the loneliness line was atleast a little clever

6/29/2008 4:00:35 AM

it's a lot clever

it's fucking great

which is why stronger, which is generally a mediocre song, kicks ass

the fact that the rest of the song is bland actually makes the one good line even better

6/29/2008 4:02:25 AM

theres a commercial on tv where a guy and a girl are sitting there making promises to each other and one of the things the guy says is:

"i promise never to be a classic rock dj"

thoughts?

6/29/2008 4:06:11 AM

i will never be a classic rock dj

i don't like foghat enough for that

however, if the pixies and x become classic rock, it's a consideration

6/29/2008 4:07:15 AM

I'm ok with Foghat. It's Foreigner that grates on my nerves.

6/29/2008 4:08:55 AM

i absolutely loooovvveee RF

6/29/2008 4:10:07 AM

i absolutely looooatheee RF

6/29/2008 4:14:00 AM

^ jealousy

6/29/2008 4:15:52 AM

more of a Rascal Sharps fan

6/29/2008 4:17:34 AM

I don't know, I must just have a natural talent.

6/29/2008 4:17:39 AM

terrible, terrible, completely gayass shitty pop music.

i could forgive them for that (i'd still think they suck, but if they just played them on G105 type stations, whatever.)

i hate that shitty groups like them have taken over country radio, though.

6/29/2008 4:18:09 AM

I haven't liked new music since before 2000 easily.

6/29/2008 4:18:48 AM

yeah, same here, with a few sporadic exceptions.

6/29/2008 4:19:14 AM

i am so confused

6/29/2008 4:22:31 AM

that's obvious from the title of the thread.

6/29/2008 4:23:07 AM

you might be more clever than britney

6/29/2008 4:24:16 AM

all of the girls in los campesinos! are cute

I mean, if you like it, good for you man, but don't expect to be taken seriously.

6/29/2008 10:00:10 AM

yea, i'll admit. i like their music

I swear I could sit down and combine all the tacky-ass horseshit elements of modern pop-country music these days and make a hit album. Maybe I will so I can retire early.

6/29/2008 10:07:43 AM

rascal flatts are fucking terrible and a joke

got dragged to one of their concerts by girls once, i mean that wasnt the bad part. i halfway payed attention and apparently they were "sick" and couldint hit the high notes so they made the crowd do it. the absolute worst show ive ever been to and the shittiest "country" band there is. i dont even thing the country genre should accept them.

6/29/2008 10:08:27 AM

I stopped listening to country music once bands like Rascal Flatts started to rear their ugly heads.


Also, my buddy saw them live and they suck. The lead singer is tone deaf or something and they don't get the crowd into it at all. Albeit this was a few years ago when they were first getting started.

6/29/2008 10:09:35 AM

set em up
