@DocStrange: I think that description fits anything that's "OneRepublic meets something else".

Kings of Leon give me the Hate Shakes. This is documented.

The Script aren’t “OneRepublic meets rap”, they’re “awful meets horrifyingly terrible”.

@jonian2008: I couldn't care less for their last couple of records, but I used to like them alright when they were the mush-mouthed "Southern Strokes" (what a terrible tag!) with terrible beards, worse haircuts, and a few really good unpretentious rock'n'roll songs. That said, they always sounded reasonably pretentious and somewhat aloof in interviews (and not the fun quotable pretentiousness of the Gallaghers).

I just think they(KOL) carry a certain amount of pretentiousness since they’ve gotten popular. Just like the rest of you guys, I’ve been aware of them since they first came out and saw them open for Pearl Jam a couple of years ago. Now everyone is all over them hyping the band and they definitely have the attitude of “Yeah, we deserve this.” That’s kind of a turn off to me as well as friends of mine who don’t listen to music anymore have been asking me about them every other week. Just not my cup of tea.

I completely agree that Kelly is underselling herself on the “best voice of the generation” thing. Kelly is so humble and down-to-earth. I love Pink and think she’s got a dynamite and unique voice. But Kelly’s is the voice that I can listen to for hours on end, and it’s such an expressive and wide-ranging instrument: sweet, raw, powerful, heartbreaking, thrilling. Really, all I ever wanted and more :-)

“Don’t Let Me Stop You” is easily the best single not to be released as a single released this year. If you get me.
