He reminds me of Dylan in that way. His voice may not be the greatest (though I like it) but his songwriting is truly where his talent lies.
wow way to be immature, at least there are people that write poetic lyrics that mean something, stuff that actually make sense not like those stupid Hip Hop artist out there and Linkin Park. Talk to any Musical Historian Critic and theyll tell you this band is one of the few great things to happen to the industry in the while
Mainstream Music has gone wayyyyyy down south
1) My dislike for Oberst does not mean I'm a mainstream music listener. My tastes run the gamut, from Chumbawamba (not the album that was big on the radio) to Black Kali Ma, from Bomb to song-poems, from Eels to Mountain Goats, from Dylan to Death, from Emperor to NOFX, from Botanica to Bouncing Souls, from Eric Schwartz to Mike Ruekberg, from Milla Jovovich to Terry Allen, from Corb Lund to the Waybacks, from Old Crow Medicine Show to Megadeth, from the Bruisers to Buck 65, from Immortal Technique to Wu-Tang Clan. Don't ****ing lecture me about music just because you discovered an artist that can write about one-dimensional love stories and stupid stories about an airplane crash and a birthday.People should learn more about the Indy Music instead of the whole stupid Breaking Benjamin and "Headstrong" whatever that song is. There is so much more and better talent out there you just gotta look for it. For those who like bright eyes i suggest
Two Gallants
The Mountain Goats
The Good Life
Bob Dylan haha
Neutral Milk Hotel
and The Weakerthans
I never knew it was possible to agree with you so much.I wish Bright Eyes would be on tour and the bus would spring a fuel leak and the bus would explode and everyone on it would be burned alive.
Crime against music.
Shame on you.
Shame on you.![]()
If you believe that, I've got a CD by Kings of the Motel 6 that you should listen to.just about any "bad" band out there brings something of value to the table, it's just a matter of seeing it.
1) listening to something thats on the radio doesnt make it a bad song. nor does it make you a tool. christ. im not going to stop listening to a certain band because they're suddenly discovered. i'll stop listening when they become ****.1) My dislike for Oberst does not mean I'm a mainstream music listener.

2) How you could possibly com pare Bob Dylan, the Mountain Goats, and Weakerthans to Conor Oberst simply blows my mind. Bob Dylan is one of the greatest folk-music legends of all time. The Mountain Goats are the greatest luminaries of the lo-fi scene. Weakerthans have almost perfected the indie-pop-punk formula in a way that would make the Killers cry with jealousy. Contrast that with Conor Oberst, who fake-weeps songs about whiny *****-fest teens and plays guitar parts bland enough to put the Sex Pistols out of a job.
psh, just because there's something to be found doesnt mean i want to be the one to find it y'dig?If you believe that, I've got a CD by Kings of the Motel 6 that you should listen to.
No. No, they really won't. Hell, most of the music theorists I know don't like any pop music. So don't bring that **** in here. We're talking pop music, and that means everyone who wants to do their research and their homework and put in the hours of listening gets to be a "Musical Historian Critic." And Conor Oberst is one of the most horrifying musicians to have violated my eardrums. I'd honestly rather listen to Chamillionairre or Young Jeezy, because at least their mindless crap is catchy. Oberst couldn't do catchy to save his life, because he's too busy pretending to cry so weak-ass spineless little college freshman ****s and girls who think there's such a thing as Prince Charming but are too hip to buy anything that gets played on the radio can throw him all their hard-earned cash.Talk to any Musical Historian Critic and theyll tell you this band is one of the few great things to happen to the industry in the while
Are you kidding? His voice is SO FAKE! It's completely and cynically manufactured to appeal to the whiny punk ***** in your soul.people do have a problem with his voice, but i actually like it because it shows though hes not perfect.
Ari, Ari-Ari-stotle... you're starting to scare me.Are you kidding? His voice is SO FAKE! It's completely and cynically manufactured to appeal to the whiny punk ***** in your soul.
Admit it! You listen to Bright Eyes because chicks dig it and you think you might get laid! Admit it! ADMIT IT!
PS: and to anyone who actually does listen to music because they "think it will get them laid" or anything like that- please, stop listening to music. i dont care if it's bright eyes, or metallica, or nofx, or some old school al green (even though this will get you laid), seriously. music isnt to be used as an accesory, it's not a goddamned pretty necklace or a ****in' blingin' "grill"" (or whatever the kids are callin' it), it's music, and it used to be art and still can be, please treat it as such.
