Like them a lot as well. Obviously nothing ground breaking or thought provoking but, hey, sometimes you just want a good tune you can tap your fingers on the steering wheel to.
Here's their first and biggest hit to date Misery Business and my favourite song Brick By Boring Brick.

My daughter was listening to Paramore a few years ago when they first started out pre mainstream, she always hijacked the radio while in the car. She had some great live acoustic versions on her iPod.
She actually got me into a lot of the different independent artists the past couple of years, some who have since became somewhat successful.

No, it's nothing ground-breaking........but compared to most of the other crap that people try to pass off as music these days it's pretty good..........more than just a steady beat with a dead-ass vocalist. Like I said, I'd take this over anything from Arcade Fire..........I seriously don't get the attraction to that band. I've never seen a band do so little with so many "musicians".

I fully realize I sound like an old fart for saying this, but the era of great (rock) music is dead. If it is not rap or pop, it just does not sell anymore. Sorry to break it to you, but if it's not commercially viable, it's dead. As stated in a previous thread, I have loaded my two boys' ipod with over 200 albums of classic rock, metal, and more from the 70's, 80's, and 90's. My boys are 11 and 13 years old and they LOVE it. They still like some of the new stuff on the radio, and they should... it's their era. But true frontiers of rock seems to be dead.
I don't give up so easily though. I have 7th row tickets for Nickleback at Rupp Arena for this Friday. This will be my second concert of Nickleback. They are the only feature act that IMO really produces quality rock music, on a grand headliner scale. I would include Metallica in that group, but they seem to be almost retired at this point. Don't even talk to me about the has-been that occasionally tour like Stones, Aerosmith, etc... they mailed it in years ago.

I give plenty of credit to my boys and many younger rockers to finding the love to - Guitar Hero, and similar newer video games. It has unleashed a whole new generation of kids to appreciate the artistic quality of rock as we have known.
Slash said so in and interview I saw... He put out his own tunes for young rockers to get to know. I have plenty of respect for Slash, and what a cool guy with a great name - SLASH
That gives me an idea for a great new thread...

I'm right there with you..........bands like Alice in Chains, Creed, Nirvana, Queensryche sustained me for a while but yeah, nothing these days compares to "our" generations rock. Friends think I'm nuts for going all out on some Roger Waters concerts but WTF.....once these guys are gone I can't imagine what concert I would ever go see. Good to see you got the boys into some classic rock.......my kids are 19 & 22 & I did the same for them years ago.

I almost shed a tear a few weeks ago when my oldest son told me he really got turned onto GnR some random Saturday morning when he crawled into my bed while I was sleeping... the clock radio clicked on and he listened to Sweet Chil'omine by GNR and he realized how great they were. He was maybe 6 years old then. It's amazing the things you remember.

Instead of stumbling on a song, I believe you were lead exactly to where the people responsible for this music being released wanted you to be. This video has the cute girl, the good looking band, the token, fluff guitar solo, ankle-deep lyric matter, and one of the highest box office draws of all time. Whether you want to admit it or not, you were corralled and made into a somewhat believer. We've all done it in some shape or another. You did not stumble onto this, nobody stumbles onto this drivel; we are directed to it.

Mainstream music is in the toilet... Shouldnt judge this era of music based on what they shove down your throat on tv or radio... There are still a lot of cool bands out there... You have to "stumble upon them"...

There was plenty of mainstream music made for the toilet as well back then. I keep seeing people saying the 90's was the best decade for music. I bet there were more crap bands in the nineties than the 70's and 80's combined. This current decade will have more crap bands than the past four decades combined. It's probably a volume thing; more artists and DIY formats produce more albums than ever before.

you cant argue that the Alternative Rock/Grunge wave of the 90s wasnt the most important movement in music in the past 25 years....

Sorry to shatter your theory pal, but I didn't watch the movie & there was no music vid playing while the credits to the movie were rolling.......hence the title to the thread.

How slowly do you 'flip through" channels? You're telling us that you just happened to be flipping through some channels and this song stopped you dead in your flippin' tracks? Do you remember which part of the song caught your attention, because I really want to know what part of this song makes a grown man stop, listen, wait for the credits, figure out who it was, go online and investigate some more, copy a link, go to Covers and then share your newfound gem. Paramore is isn't much more than a glossed over solo artist with her little band riding the wave she started by being the only member of the band signed to Atlantic Records. I wonder if you 'stumbled' into the middle of this song, would you have been willing to share your new found gem with us?

Starting to think you should have named yourself "Knowitall-house". Unless, of course "Sugar" has special meaning for you.

LOL.....it's obvious you're still pissed that no one liked the song that you like to air guitar to...................or do you really find this thread from 4 months ago that intriguing?

Absolutely nothing to do with the air guitar situation. It's your loss if you don't want to air guitar when I want to air guitar. Get real.
I find it absolutely absurd that THEMUGG would find anything redeeming in the music of Paramore. That's it. I feel you have a somewhat refined taste of music and knows what's quality and what's not. Paramore is clearly not quality. It is the epitome of record label-crafted music for the masses. Like I mentioned, even I fall for 'it', too. We've all been part of the herd of what I like to call, 'sheeple." But, I never would have imagined THEMUGG as a shepherd of the sheeple.
