Resolved: David Gray and Ryan Adams

further proof that 'rock' is now code for 'bland and mediocre.'

cases in point: John Mayer, that other guy whose name I always forget, and ... damn I forgot all their names. White guys with guitars who look like they belong to a fraternity. You know who I mean. Them. blaaaaaaaand.

 

I don't know who the Gray guy is, but I think Adams had a few hits back in the 80's... though I can't really figure out why you of all people would want to praise a Canadian.

 

They are better than some. But they certainly aren't close to the greatest.

 

Ryan Adams....I agree.
David Gray....only if you're gay.

 

I don't get it... was there a survey taken? Is this the consensus?





Meh..




Either way it's(Rock) been bland and uninspired for the past 10 years.. nevermind the last 5..

 

So you're saying this No B guy hasn't done anything as good as "Run to You?"

 

Once again we see Basso attempting another underhanded and misleading thread here. Basso has deliberately a misleading thread title which should be "Resolved: David Gray and Ryan Adams Greatest Rock Talents, says Rightwing New York Resident." Without including that information we are left with the impression that these are general resolutions about David Gray and Ryan Adams like: "Resolved: David Gray and Ryan Adams not as great as David Byrne and Brian Adams" or "Resolved: David Gray and Ryan Adams, Stars of Easy Listening Non-Offensive music.

No instead once again Basso is seeking to obfuscate and mislead.

Now that he has been exposed once again I expect him to run away from this thread as he has so many other threads where he has been ruthlessly exposed.

 

you should really only enjoy the music that others tell you that you should enjoy.

 

i thought they were fighting or something, and now they are resolved.....

 

David Gray - "This Year's Love"

Thats a good song.

 

Well, I only wear what others think is "cool." Oh, and the car I drive was selected for looks and not function, so this advice fits easily within my worldview. By the way, did you see the last American Idol? Whoowee, what a show! You should check it out.

 

so how's the weather in Dallas today?

 

Weather? Oh yes... well, I haven't driven anywhere yet so I don't know what temp the BMW display says it is.

 

i'm assuming you haven't listened to much of mayer's blues stuff.

and ryan adams is a genius. period.

 

I have, and I'm not impressed.

 

I don't know who David Gray is, but I like "Cuts Like a Knife" by Bryan Adams.
