Sam Roberts Band The New Matthew Good Band?

[Matt]

I was thinking about this the other day, and the Sam Roberts Band gets lots of attention in Canada, but not anywhere else, and I was just thinking perhaps they are kind have the new MGB.

[shade]

They would be if they didn't suck. Shitty vocals, lame lyrics, basic rock sound, no growth between albums, one or two catchy tunes.

 

They don't deserve attention anywhere else.

 

YOU THOUGHT WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[soundless_space]

^^^ Whatever, I love Sam Roberts Band.

 

I can see how they would be similar to MGB. However, I think Sam Roberts has more potential to become popular in America than MGB since they actually tour here.

SRB = phenomenal....MGB = phenomenal.....SRB = MGB...yup, the math adds up

[i miss new wave]

srb is alright, i liked the earlier stuff

[Hyphnip]

since when is band on the end of sam roberts? either way, poop!

[Sparq]

Sam Roberts is pretty high on the list of people I never want to see or hear about again. MGB, on the other hand, is excellent. So...no.

[bishopx]

I'm with Sparq, I gave him a listen...He sucks giant Moosecock!!!

 

You suck to even suggest such heinous bullshit...Don't make BishopX have to choke a bitch.

[Prometheon]

Urgh. I utterly despise Sam Roberts. Bad comparison.

[sodamntired]

wow. wow wow wow.

Sam Roberts is amazing. but arguing with those who don't like a certain band or artist is pointless.

i've learned this from many arguments over Radiohead...and how they're not the be all and end all of what 'amazing music' is.

arguing music is kind of like arguing whose sip of Coke, or breath of air, was better.

[Crusader]

i actually like sam roberts. though he's too folk-rock sometimes

[WhatamNot]

I dont like Sams voice and I just cant get into his music, Something I've never had trouble doing with Matthew Good Band.

[thewickernightmare]

i find the negativity towards sam roberts here is fucking ridiculous and you are all stupid for having these opinions

[shade]

LAUGH OUT LOUD

 

I bet thewickernightmare is sam roberts.

[Shiri]

I only know about five songs from Sam Roberts, they're alright but nothing breathtaking.

[bishopx]

wickernightmare...you posted this bullshit in the MGB area of the bored...you were expecting, what? A blowjob?

 

I decided last night to give him another shot...know what? He doesn't just suck...he swallows...

oooohhhh Touch

[Some Random]

i don't think he sucks, but he sure is boring.

[thewickernightmare]

uhhh...bishop...i have no idea what you are talking about in regards to the posting something in the Matthew Good section of the board but thank you for your thoughts on the subject.

[juanpe]

haven't heard of them before... would u recommend me a song to listen to it and see how they sound, please?

[soundless_space]

My favourite would probably be "The Canadian Dream."

[juanpe]

ok. thanx, Beth!

 

I'm gonna try get it and see how it sounds. I'll give u my opinion.

[sodamntired]

"s-o-cia-lism is here to stay

s-o-cia-lism is the only way"

 

now how's THAT for a canadian anthem???? i enjoy that song too.

 

i'm a fan of With A Bullet. I quote in frequently.

 

if you were marked with a bullet

i would jump in front of it

i'd rather die for love

than die for the want of it.

 

 

love it

[thewickernightmare]

some really good songs of theirs are dead end, bridge to nowhere, brother down, mind flood, where have all the good people gone.....and theres many more...

 

heres the thing...this comparison of Sam Roberts to Matthew Good (Band) doesn't really make any sense...their styles of music are quite different and they are not similar bands in the least...i love both bands...with MGB being above SRB but they are not alike in musical styles...

[juanpe]

i tried the e-mule to get some of them and the only ones which are available (and not by many people...) are: "bridge to nowhere" and "brother down"...
