I do consider all of the concepts you’ve offered in your post. They’re very convincing and can certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are very short for newbies. May just you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.

Of course you won’t see The Strokes on this list either. I think they may too many connections for that, and they’re not that good either. These guys seem to have some nostalgic hold-over from the grunge days. They were on the Juno soundtrack?

The Strokes are terrible too! What are you talking about?

I’m not willing to go all the way to the mat for this band, but it seems like either a) you’re being too hard on them, b) you have a personal beef with one or both of the members, or c) both. Guess what: some people (me) think the singer of the Strokes is a little “grating,” especially in a live setting. I saw both bands in the same year at the same venue and the Moldy Peaches were more entertaining and endearing than the rock-by-numbers Strokes. Also, the Strokes are no muso-technicians, either. The drummer knows one beat, and that’s it.

Like I said, not fully advocating the Moldy Peaches, but to put the Strokes up as some sort of rock n roll gold-standard is laughable.

The Moldy Peaches were the greatest band in the world.
Don’t be jelous because you wasted your time learning to play instruments.

I hope there’s going to be a least one Nickelback song on this list.
Because imho “Who’s got the crack?” > the entire recorded output of Nickelback.

@brasstax: Would that be the one with the hidden cover of "That's The Way I Like It" feat. Biz Markie? 'Cause I think I might by the Moldy Peaches over 100 times that one.

@Thierry: I'd listen to the Spin Doctors' third or fourth albums (there was a fourth one, right?) a hundred times each before I'd listen to one Moldy Peaches song voluntarily.

Have you heard the Libertines’ cover of this? I heard that before I ever heard the original.
