They're inexplicably called "prog" or "space rock" but it really sounds like generic middle american rock music. Also, the lead singer sings exactly like RUSH.
CAN is prog. HAWKWIND is space rock.
Coheed and Cambria = Bryan Adams meets Rush.

thank you
he also totally looks like king buzzo of the melvins. i have a friend whos into these guys, and he contends that the similarity in appearance isnt intentional. but it still makes him look like a trick ass mark to me. these guys could never touch the melvins. and im not trying to split hairs here ZombieZone, but the "rush" part of your bryan adams meets rush comparison... well, isnt that being a little unfair to rush? i mean, im not a very big rush fan, but come on.

Wait, who said they were groundbreaking? Take it easy, fellas. I don't want to start an argument, but the phrase "crying and boo-hooing their way to the bank" seems pretty crass. Original, talented or no, they're not phoning it in by any means, and to write angsty lyrics is certainly within their rights as musicians.

Ribbons wrote:Yes, but at the end of the day, that's what all musicians are doing. All the ones who do it for a living, anyway. I'm not arguing with you over whether or not they're "boo-hooing" or making money, because you can't, but, like I said, I think it's a very crass and cynical way of describing the musicmaking process. The same sentiment could be turned around and applied to bands that even you would probably deem "good," although if I had to guess it's one you wouldn't use. Ripping bands you don't like a new asshole is certainly within your rights, but I just wanted to point that out. Maybe it's because I'm not as big of a music connoisseur as some people on this site, but people seem to be just plain ferocious to bands they don't like or deem untalented, and, I mean I don't know. I don't get it, I guess.

take it with a saltlick, it's not personal, and it's fuckin' fun to read (for me, at any rate).

thats exactly why i waited for zombiezonesolutions to rip em first.
just kidding, but seriously, if i started a thread and told everyone about how major of an impact a band like macabre, buffalo daughter, or melt banana had on my life, i would expect a fair amount of shit for it. im used to it.

This is both good and bad. It allows people to be exposed to all forms of music, but at the same time, you have to be especially astute to pick out the artists from the sell outs.
The singer to Coheed and Cambria sings with heart for sure, but I can only Take Frankie Valli's high pitched whiney crooning without cringing.
