Simple music is the man

[road doggy dogg]

While listening to some Blink (like I do 90% of the time I listen to music), I kind of came to a revelation, that I really like Blink's earlier stuff because it's just so simple and to the point. Like stuff off Dude Ranch and Enema of the State, the songs aren't complicated at all, and they're catchy as hell. Like Dumpweed, the entire song is 3 different chords avec intro/bridge, and it is like one of their best songs. And Hold On, the song is like 3 chords, plus that little doo-dah part that is pwn. It is another great song. Dick Lips is probably my favourite song ever, and it can be played entirely on one string (except that little breakdown near the end, you need to play one note on open E), and it it awesome.

I dunnnnooooooooooooo, simple songs are just the man. The lyrics aren't that deep, but they get the message across. The guitar/bass/drums/etc are just simple, but they're catchy and just sound good. I don't know, I was listening to Where You Want To Be by TBS, and I like it and all, but it just sounds really over-complicated, if that makes sense.


BASICALLY, what I'm saying is that just because a band is less talented (or just chooses to be, as Blink have shown that they are capable of making more 'advanced' songs) doesn't mean the music isn't good or anything. I know people will be like "STFU Blink sucks and you smell" but I don't care Just sayinggggggggg simple stuff is sometimes
