A Painted House is a great little book.

Bleachers wasn't bad.

A Time to Kill was good.

Not necessarily because their music is particularly horrible, but naming any of the above among your favorite artists pretty much just says "I'm a boring person who likes to smoke lots of weed."

All 3 of the above are very good, not my favorites, but still make very enjoyable music. FWIW, I haven't smoked weed in a long time, and am generally not boring.

did you edit the OP? i didn't see the detail the first time around, that's why i mentioned the big mac/breast. mea culpa if not, good edit if so. i like the thread idea.

i think nickelback is genuinely good at what they do, and i don't think it's accidental, lucky, or on virtue of gimmick that they crank out so many widely popular songs. i agree with creed and maroon 5 but i would put, say, sum 41 up there instead of nickelback.

i think the "symbols good, text logos bad" rule sounds pretty fair.

El D,

Does the fact that it's obvious make it more or less true? Just curious.

AC,

That reminds me. Pretty much anyone who likes clothes that have a huge logo (ie: VERSACE, DIESEL, D&G, TOMMY, SEAN JOHN) or brand name on them. The exception to this, of course, is people who wear highly-logoed athletic wear from Nike, Adidas, etc. That is cool.

but why is that? because of the simplicity of the logo? the message it sends vs. the status symbol?

astro,

Nah, that was there from the beginning. That's what I thought you were responding to.

Re: Things people like that let you know they suck
 

You.

The funnier answer is "Me."

Are you over 40? Because liking them is much more excusable if you are older and like them in a nostalgic sense. I was mostly referring to people in my age group (early-mid 20s) who like them because it was cool to be a hippie in high school.
