Simple Plan - Still Not Getting Any

[slapusilly]

MOST of my favorite bands don't come from here in the US!

yup, as if finding CDs isn't hard enough...I gotta like stuff from overseas!

Why do I make things so difficult for myself...?

BTW went and saw Bowling For Soup Saturday, pretty good show.

When you think of Simple Plan, their original audience was targeted to the same type of group. Post Boy-Band teens. They were on TRL, played on top 40 radio, etc. I think Busted is similar in that fact. What separates them from NSync and Backstreet Boys is that their music is alot more guitar driven power pop rather than manufactured pop. Their music is much more like Simple Plan, Blink 182, Good Charlotte than Backstreet Boys. Listen to "Teenage Kicks" again, I swear this song could have been written from a Sunset Strip band in 1988.

I agree with Bill's original observation. Busted aren't pop/punk. They're a boy band for the under 12's. Ask the Smash Hits readers.
