    Default Scissor Sisters fans?

    Omg I just found out about this new band i had never heard of before called Scissor Sisters and I have to say that they are the best band along with Franz Ferdinand to come out of Britain this year. I've become a fan. My favorite of their songs is Filthy/Gorgeous. I don't much about them yet. They are not as big here as they are in Britain.

    You may laugh at me when I say this but they are not from Britain. They're from New York. But like Jimmy Hendrix they've made it big here first.

    I do have to agree but they are a very good band. Filthy Gorgeous is on my playlist as I type.

    Oh yeah, they are not British. I don't know why I assumed that even though I knew the fact.
    All of their singles have been great and filthy gorgeous is pure sleaze at its best!
    Yeah I love that song.
    They butchered Comfortably Numb.
    Good.

    I have no idea where they stole it from but Im glad because now I can enjoy listening to it.

    You seriously have no idea that it was originally a Pink Floyd song? I find that hard to believe...

    Anyway, The original destroys the cover in so many ways it's not funny.

    I have to agree with BKS, the Floyd version is a lot better. But they are a good band, despite that one slip up.

    I think they suck personally - but that is probably down to my taste in music.

    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    Its all a matter of taste, I like most types of music. My friend has taught me to actually listen to the music and indentify how the artist blends all the differrent sounds come together to form a good song. I don't usually do it because it actually takes effort. But its nice to occasionaly take a look at a song and analyse it more deeply.

    I like to listen to Norma Jean, Avenged Sevenfold and The Weakerthans occasionally so why not?
