Sorry, Cal. This is embarrasing ...

Train's first album is actually really good and different than the crap they play now. Don't like them at all now.
Just find it humorous that who someone likes is an issue of any kind. Don't care either way. If they're embarrassed then I'm glad we have a website like this where they can express that embarrassment.

Idk about that but there's a band called Hunters and Collectors.
Your post is the icing on the cake.

Meh... I'll take the bait. I like some of Train's stuff. As posted in this thread I think Drops of Jupiter is fantastic. Calling All Angels and When I Look to the Sky are ok. I really like Meet Virginia but thats one of their older ones. Hey Soul Sister has some terrible lyrics but at least its catchy, same with Drive By.

Overall not my favorite but I'll take Drops of Jupiter and Meet Virginia all day against anything. Really good songs in my opinion.

Not a huge train fan. But Pat Monahan did a dang fine job with Daryl Hall on this one.




Darryl's House, one of the best shows on tv. Watched Donna Summer's, may she rest in peace, daughter and son in law, on there one episode. Fantastic! Every show is the best.

I get caught up for hours on Live at Daryl's House.

Brian Dunne has moved up to 1A on my favorite drummer list. This will not even get him a cup of coffee.

I mean, they're really good at producing one thing. And that thing is a viscous, sugar saturated, unadulterated spoonful of lovey dovey goop. And if that's what you want, they'll knock it out of the park, because they do know how to write. That's never what I want, though.

On their newer songs I agree. But the two I mentioned (Drops of Jupiter and Meet Virginia) don't really fall into that category.

To be fair, almost all of them are embarrassing for a grown man. To be fair, I listen to death metal, so I have low tolerance for cheesy, girly music and I also probably can't hear.

Sinatra? Great.
Marvin Gaye? Soft, but great at what he did.
Eagles, Temptations, B2M? Little soft, but at least they can write.

Pearl Jam? I can hear the same vocals by kicking a large housecat in the balls.
Kid Rock? I've met him, he's a nice guy, but he literally rhymed "things" with "things". C'mon.

Everything else listed is inexcusable for a grown man to listen to for any extended period.
Admitting you like death metal makes all your music comments irrelevant. Weirdo.

I am absolutely certain that you don't know a single thing about the genre outside of some 15 second clips you've seen of the crappiest bands in the genre. I can name half a dozen bands that have greater songwriting talent than anything on your playlist, but you'll just see a clip of Cannibal Corpse on Beavis and Butthead and live completely assured in the knowledge that there's nothing more to it. I'm gonna guess that most of what you like is written intentionally for females, but that's your preference. It's 2016, and we should all respect that.

Normally, when someone goes on the attack, I'm tempted to write a full essay in response. Paragraphs and paragraphs to really get a flame war started.

But honestly, I have the hardest time getting riled up by an insult by ZaytovenCat of all people - The guy who attempts to talk basketball with adults yet who genuinely thinks that Cal is a bad coach - the guy on more ignore lists than anybody on the entire rivals network - is trying to talk to me about relevant opinions? Lmao.

Actually nothing I like is written for females. But that's certainly better than listening to fingernails on a chalkboard with a guy screaming incoherently for 3-5 minutes.

If you actually want to have some substantive debate for the first time in your existence instead of posting hit and runs on wholly indefensible stances born of ignorance, then I welcome you to list all the really heavy bands of whom you've heard for longer than it takes your favorite coach to have sex.

I'm certain that the list will consist of little or nothing, and I'm not going to waste my time defending Cannibal Corpse or whatever godawful nonsense you assume I'm talking about while you prance around the board without revealing your fairy music.
