Nickel Creek - This SideScene: Some tool's house. Tool is looking through cool guy's iPod, loudly judging cool guy's better taste in music.
hmmm, i guess creed is okay...no linkin park, wow, man that's bad. oh haha i love gnarls barkley, rofl i think you're craaazy right? oh, look nickelback! ...ohh wait, nickel creek, my bad. super lame, who the heck is nickel creek?
Uhh...for the record, on a list of "Bad Things in the World", Nickelback would be between 'migraines' and 'opium'. No subtext intended in the choices. Let's ignore you comparing the cancer of music to Nickel Creek for now, and move on. Nickel Creek is like...hmm, they're hard to sum up, they're like...progressive-ish bluegrass acoustic pop, and...
EW bluegrass, you mean like banjos and stuff? rofl this guy, only mumfords and son can pull off banjo, otherwise lemme go get my pipe and suspenders and put some blistahs on me fingahs rofl family guy reference right right yeeeaaa. no but seriously brah, bluegrass is really bad, it all sounds the same, cheesy lyrics, endless bad solos, and old men in suits and cowboy hats.
You're thinking of Bill Munroe-esque bluegrass. Because it's totally impossible for a genre of music to change in the 65 years since The Original Bluegrass Band in 1946. 1946. Movie tickets could be bought with a single dollar bill, World War II had just ended, and home televisions were bricks with tiny screens (no factual accuracy really intended). Israel wasn't a country, the USSR was about to be the greatest evil since Genghis Khan, and smoking was healthy for you. 65 years was long enough for Jesus Christ to live twice. 65 years is a long time, bro. Genres grow up.
Okay but like all the bands at festivals still listen to that stuff and sound like Bill Munroe, he's like bluegrass's superman, don't even deny it
Yea, and Bach has a dominating influence on every Western musician of this century, but that doesn't mean we all sound like Bach, with perfect counterpoint and form in every piece. Thank god, too. Back to Nickel Creek. They listen to everything from the New Grass Revival and The Telluride Sessions, to Radiohead, Pavement and Joanna Newsom. They're beautiful, melancholy acoustic pop. Their harmonies are perfect, they're all virtuosos on their respective instruments, and this may be their best album. I haven't met a single person who actually dislikes Nickel Creek...metalheads, outdated parents, classical snobs, no one. You would be the first if you claimed-
Whatever I like Nickelback more
Off yourself.
