• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Fave bands/artists?

Most of the bands you mention are inspirations for me playing the guitar with my friends so :) (particularly Frank Turner)

In all fairness, she has a great voice. Why would I not enjoy Celine Dion? It's pretty close-minded not to enjoy something that good...

I don't know, I would have imagined you would have thought her songs were trite pop crap.

The English translations I don't like, that's true. But I do like the French versions of her songs. And really, when it comes down to it - yeah it is pretty cheesy. But sometimes you need cheesy music, and it sounds more genuine (to these ears in French).

But I like Kate Nash too for example; I'm not limited to guitars crunching their way through an amp. I mean, there is a lot of pop crap out there, and Celine certainly has her flaws, but I can still enjoy Celine Dion for what it is. If we're talking trite pop crap we can talk about practically everything pop has produced after, say, 2000.

You know what's trite pop crap? The Black Eyed Peas. Maroon 5. That makes me want to throw up...The combination of pop, eurodance, and hiphop is an abomination. I liked it when pop singers were influenced by guitars.

Mumford & Sons are pure and epic win.

I just. I am so amused when people actually like Mumford & Sons because in Australia, when an Australian band gets reasonably popular, all the big mainstream radio stations go 'holy fuck the world is paying attention to us omg!!' and then proceed to play that band's songs a million billion times. Mumford & Sons aren't bad, but when you've heard Little Lion Man so much that the chorus reverberates around your head without you even thinking about it, you tend to... not like them as much. It sucks because Mumford & Sons are neat but everyone here is absolutely sick to death of hearing them and it's kind of unfair to them.

See also: eskimo joe, short stack (briefly), john butler, gotye... so many more. then I decided to just stop listening to the radio in general. :D
