[Geoff]

Geoff - Are you saying that you like Bowling For Soup????OMG :tsk:

 

Honestly mate, I'm undecided. I hate the band, hate their stupid children-like lyrics and attitude, but I also cannot deny their awesome ear for melody. 'Drunk enough to dance' and the album before that both contain some very melodic commercial rock songs, which I can't deny. The one Butch wrote on the last album (Before 'Goes to the movies') - something about 'Last call'... that song was f*cking awesome.

 

So, in reply to your question - I hate the band, their lyrics, HATE the guy's voice... but love a lot of their songs. There are some really, really great tunes for commercial rock lovers - GIGANTIC hooks!

 

In my list of top 100 modern groups they'd be listed around the 70's or 80's though, I reckon.
