As true as it may be, they write good music. Plus, the video for Do the Evolution is by far the best music video I've ever seen.

My band did a cover of Jeremy back in high school, I was on bass, it was pretty fun. I like their tone.

I'm not big into classic rock/grunge, but there are a few bands who I like. Being a musician, it makes you super picky about how everything sounds and cuts through the mix. Maybe it's just me? I have no idea.

I mean, I mostly listen to punk/ska/metal, but there's still a lot of stuff in those genres I can't stand. The Ramones are a pop-punk-boy band, but people never want to accept that. I also can't stand metallica. They don't even deserve to get capitalized when I type their name.
