Who sang these songs?!

[FriendsFan]

I'm loving "Maps" right now, the video is alright though. "Fever To Tell" was also nominated for Best Alternative Rock Album or something, I do know for a fact they were nominated in an Album catagory!

They have a bunch of ads on MTV. I dont think i'd ever buy their album, but "Maps" sounds ok.

I think I might like their album. Each of the four tracks from that album that I've heard have been pretty diverse. My grades from what I've heard:

Date With The Night: B
Maps: [blue]A+[/blue]
Y Control: B+
Modern Romance: B+

Another thing that I would like to add that no one did is that the band is called Yeah Yeah Yeahs and has a song called "No No No.
I will admit I'm not an expert on this band at all. Right now, the only member who I can think of by name is Karen O.

Its a great album, I wish it had won the category it was nominated for at the Grammys. I love "Maps", its probably one if not my favorite song on the entire album.

from what i heard of these guys, they sound extremely overrated

[pkwi]

Have you actually listened to their album. 104,000 copies isn't over rated, now 50 Cent is over rated, but I know where you're coming from. I think if anyone, the Strokes are way over rated.

o'll admit i haven't listened to a whole lot of their music, and i won't say that they suck or anything based solely on those few listens... The only thing is that it seems a whole lot of ink is being spilt on this indie groups taht no one would otherwise care about (something like The White Stripes a few years ago).

I won't say that they should stay indie, because most bands want to be heard by any means necessary, i just think that they would need to really blow me away with a kickass song for me to say they aren't overrated... tis all.

if you read my thread on overrated, i did say that 50 was ;)

You should listen to their self titled EP and Fever To Tell in whole, neither of them are that long. I'm glad they signed to Interscope, it gave them a chance to impact a broader audience and gain more fans, or at least one more. ;) I doubt that Interscope will want them on anymore after Fever To Tell flopping, and then they'll fade into the indie scence again, unless they're given one more chance.
