Did The Jonas Brothers Spare Us From More Crappy Staind Songs?
Oh how I wish the stain on my memory of the rock band Staind could be removed. While my wish won't come entirely true, at least Staind won't be joining the ranks of bands like U2, Dave Matthews Band and Metallica according to this Yahoo News Story.
Apparently if Staind's destined-to-suck new album, The Progress of Illusion had hit #1 on the charts, they along with the aforementioned rock bands would be in the prestigious group of acts to have 4 No. 1 charting albums in a row.
Why So Glum Boys?
Which could have only meant that we'd have even more Staind music in mind-numbing repetition on the radio. They don't make enough pills to wash down that kind of hell.
But hey, back to the Jonas Brothers. Apparently, the three mop-topped brothers from Jersey have topped the charts with their latest album, A Little Bit Longer, keeping the dreams of the pseudo-angst rockers at bay — not to mention, the raging migraine that awaited me.
My kids love those cute Jonas Brothers and their radio-friendly music, and so far all three boys have kept their clothes on, unlike so many of the Disney manufactured processed sugar out there today.
As much as this kind of music isn't really my cup of tea, it's a positive sign we are moving away from derivative rock like Staind. Perhaps once the teeny boppers move on to something else, the music industry can look inwards and figure out why Disney is making them look like amateurs and we can bring back the kind of energy that's been missing since Nirvana shook things up in the 90's.
While we are at it, can we throw in the other source of auditory hell which causes me nothing but anguish: Nickelback? I'd be ever so appreciative.
Thus begins the nasty emails.....sigh.
