their first album was fun to listen while drunk. aside from that c-r-a-p.

Someone played me the second album the other day and this song "Between Love and Hate" has an amazing guitar solo.

I shit you not.

not crap, they makes good songs, not crap at all!!!

I voted Crap with a very high WF. I have them on my iPod. It's good uptempo shit for working out and passing time doing things you don't want to do.

This new album is shit. "On the Other Side" was playing while I was in the shower. I thought it was "Disorder."

are these guys popular?

CRAP.

Derivative shit. Not a single original or interesting thing has ever come out of their heads.


Unadulterated CRAP

In fact, I'm so offended that I even had to bother voting on this loathsome band, that I'm going to subject you to spam for some friends of mine I think are much more deserving of the kind of airplay The Strokes have gotten and who could easily fill the same kind of retro-garage, punk'n'roll niche.

they're a great pop band, great hooks. there is no need to intellectualize all music. some of them have rich parents. so fuckin what?!

This video is great. The things a Mazda 323 will do!

I don't get the people that say "but they're a good pop band!" Who cares? They try to write catchy riffs so they can be popular and get hot chicks and do lots of coke? Wow, good for them, very impressive.

Seriously, how are the Strokes at all different from a horrible fucking band like Jet? A bit more catchy?

Completely devoid of any ideas, another generic bullshit retro band whose career is based on their image and being from Brooklyn. There should be one poll for all those bands like Interpol, Jet, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and The Rapture so I could just vote CRAP once.

Very typical. Dull. Not my kind of band at all.
