I would rather hang with Journey than most bands listed in this thread.

Also fuck you for the Journey hate.

(from the old forum doors thread):

reminds me of being in high school & partying at a good friend's older brother's shack. the doors were the shack soundtrack. said friend's older brother had taken to writing morrison inspired poetry. i remember one that was so epiphanic that it had to be tacked to the wall. the last lines read:

i have lived before:

If Billy Joel is a band then Billy Joel. I hate his music as much as RHCP.

I can understand disliking the Doors, sure. I can't understand disliking the Doors more than Sex & Candy by Marcy Playground.

I would way rather hang with Jim Morrison than Gene Simmons.

One scenario is gonna get weird.

The other one might get creepy.

You decide.

What the hell is it about that song? When I was a teen, my dad's MOR rock radio station played it hourly for years. Seriously, years. If I had to ride in his car there was a 50/50 chance I'd hear it.

There's nothing particularly repugnant about it except it's decade of ever-presence. Why did everyone want that song so much? Goddam it, it's playing in my head now.

I saw Marcy Playground at a radio station fest in '99. They did not play 'Sex and Candy'.

I wouldn't know any of their material. Are they secretly a decent band?

I didn't think so, but I never owned any of their records.

Somehow I never heard that song, or even of that band. Hearing it for the first time didn't evoke a strong reaction, which wouldn't be the case for something I did hear a million fuckin' times like that New Radicals song.
