Re: Don't Bomb When You're The Bomb

Hallelujah!  Heh heh.  Yeah, sometimes I'm not sure why I like
them so much, but through thick and thin, for eight years, I keep coming
back to them.  All the albums and singles and DVD's and all
that.  Not every band needs mad insturmental proficiency, I have an
extensive Dream Theater and Yes collection for that.  Sometimes I
want to just hear good, honest guitar pop songs.  

It's hard to argue with the success they've had too, at least in the rest
of the world outside the US (which is musically beyond hope anyways as
far as the mainstream is concerned).  And just when people had
written them off critically, they come back with a really strong new
album and a great tour.  I think they still have a great future as
long as Noel and Liam can keep from killing each other.
