Dude, you can't tell her that you have nothing against her current taste but then say actually your taste is better for *these* reasons.
The ironic thing about your post was the complete hypocrisy.
And remember not all of us like indie and do not think it's the be all and end all of music.

Look, I quite like me some punk rock. Unfortunately I have to agree that it typically means shit, and when it does mean something, it is usually trying way too hard to be hyper-educated (see: condescendingly political NoFX songs, Thrice and Thursday's music, Sum 41's embarrassing efforts at social consciousness). I like all of the bands in those parentheses, but their lyrics make me hurt as a writer and as a fan of language.
Indie rockers, on average, work better with words. Unfortunate truth.
EDIT: And, so they're not left out, metal lyricists tend to be fantastic storytellers - or when they use hyper-intelligent lingo, it sounds fucking menacing, like it's supposed to.

maudlin of the Well are ace.

Give Kayo Dot a listen, for sure! They're less eclectic than Maudlin, but more focused, I'd say. A lot of people really resent the change from Maudlin to Kayo Dot, and I'm not really sure why. I find both incarnations to be very worthwhile. Also, are you familiar with Henry Cow, Fred Frith's 70's prog (RIO) band? I mean, since you listen to Zorn and all, thought you might know about them or be interested.

I dont mind Panic! too much....while completly vapid and annoyingly repetitive in their lyrics and music respectivly, I think that if you took the singer away and put him with some people who arent talentless bozos, you would have a great sounding band.
SInger sounds good, band sounds bad, not a good combo.
My opinion.

This is about right I think- the vocals are tolerable (thought the lyrics, not so much). In all earnesty I'm sort of confused about how people like this band. At least Fall Out boy is catchy- same with with most mall-punk types. I don't even hear music when I listen to the band- theres nothing interesting about it, I'm neither caught nor repulsed.
I guess I'm just shocked by how diverse music taste can be. We have a ton of disagreements here but we're still only a very small segment of the music listening population of the world. I wonder what Adorno would say.
Rizzo:
I agree with you, Johnny C, but I didn't suggest punk, I suggested *attachlabelhere*core bands. Have a read of some of their lyrics, they're just as complex and well structured as any indie I can think of.
In fact I'd go so far as to say all the bands I suggested have awesome lyrics.
Especially 3 Inches of Blood :P
Edited so that it made sense without a quote.
