Modest Mouse

  • Manhattan Buckeye
    Corgan is a horrible singer, I'll give you that, but the band could play and the writing was decent.

    That crappy link IWP posted, that sucked. If I'm the worst I'd hate to see the best. That was freaking godawful.

    Please list your top 5 songs/bands. I would love to hear them.

    also, smashing pumpkins is the most overrated band in the history of music.

    You list the killers, and then say you have sex with your wife? LOL you act like you are a hipster/cool, but you just proved your whole musical existence with that. Gotta love New Yorkers. False sense of badassery

    I live in Singapore, that's why I'm posting (it is just past lunchtime here), why are you? Drunk or unemployed, or both?

    Certainly The Killers can be hipsterish, but its good music, Modest Mouse is crap.

    I just find it funny you rip modest, then list the killers among the greats. It's actually making me legit laugh.

    Because they are, you know, good. I can't upload videos from here but Ronnie Vanucci has more talent than all of Modest Mouse combined. Their lyrics can be esoteric, but the dude can play the drums. He's one of the best percussionists of our generation.

    you are comparing the killers, one of the biggest one cd wonders in the world, with modest mouse; almost 7 cds and counting and with all of them garnering success. Like I said, keep it up, you look great!
  • DeyDurkie5
    also, uploading videos from youtube won't matter. They have 1 good cd, and it's not that hard to find LOL

    Which one are you talking about?

    Hot Fuss
    Sam's Town
    Day and Age

    They are all multi-platinum.

    LOL 3 cds. where are they now? and 2 of those cds were fucking retarded.
  • Manhattan Buckeye
    Which 2?

    They broke up but are planning on a 4th.

    Modest Mouse? Seriously? I get gayer just even typing the words.

    Hey man, you can like the killers all you want. but until they are getting to 8 cds, and crossing 19 years and counting, you have no argument.

    Longevity is what makes a band good? Then the Insane Clown Posse must be one of the best bands of our generation.

    Idiot Post of the Week. Way to be in the same conversation as idiot SQ.
  • Raw Dawgin' it
    Killers singer wears eye liner but you call Modest Mouse gay? You see the contradiction here?

    I love when you ask people their favorite bands they list classic rock cause it's safe.

    Day and Age was not platinum at all, and Sam's Town was not multi-platinum. We live in the United States; I don't care how many albums they buy in Ireland.

    Day and Age hit 3 million, and Sam's Town hit 4 million, that's multi-platinum.

    Again the thread is about about a band called "Modest Mouse" - if you enjoy it, great. They are still called Modest Mouse.
  • GOONx19
    Day and Age has only sold 500,000. It's only RIAA certified "gold" in the United States. Sam's Town only hit 1,000,000 in the United States. It's only RIAA certified "platinum". You're looking at global numbers, and like I said, nobody cares about Euro record sales.

    And lol, what the hell does the name of a band have to do with anything. A band called Red Hot Chili Peppers has been topping the charts for 20 years. Foo Fighters just won some grammies. It's not as if The Killers is a real original name.


    I like the Killers' one good album as much as anyone, but you're making stupid arguments.

    That's the dumbest thing i've ever heard.

    It is about once every few month one these thread pops up. They are ok, nothing special, I don't get the fascination with them. Too each his own.</SPAN></SPAN>

    I would be interested to see what 2 thru 10 are for someone who thinks this band is #1.
