AngelasDaddy0427 Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 My girlfriend recently brought home their new album and I have to admit there were a few decent songs on it. I certainly have heard worse. So I just thought i'd pose the question to you guys. Do you think they really suck or will they just never live down the crap they did as kids?

aboz56 Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 They are alright for girls 14 years older and younger. Besides that, I wouldn't consider them to be anything I'd be caught listening to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 No, Hanson doesn't really suck. They just regular suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 actually, they have grown up quite a bit, which is why they aren't on the radio anymore. I still don't like them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Back when they first came out, a bunch of us were sitting around watching TV, and Hanson was going to be on. My buddy, who is hands down the best drummer I have ever known or worked with, and one of the best musicians I have ever known, was sitting on the edge of his seat awaiting the rip-fest he was planning after watching them live. Well, they finished, he sat back in his seat and sighed. He was seriously bummed, as the drummer kid proved to be a solid drummer. They are all great musicians, and as long as they are no longer the freak show they were in the beginning, they stand to only get better with age. Once they fully decide to use their talents, and avoid pure silly Pop (which they may already be doing) they will be a solid band. But there are no tricks with them, they do it all themselves. Write it, record, perform it all. How many Top 10 bands that kids are listening to can you say that about nowdays? So in the end, no, they don't "suck", but they not be your thing.

LowerCaseRepublican Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I just remember the Family Guy bit where Quagmire was talking about how hot they are and the look on his face after they told him Hanson was an all guy band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Peter was asking which girl the four men (Peter, Quagmire, Cleveland, and Joe) would like to spend their life with stranded somewhere and Quagmire said Taylor Hanson. Cleveland said Hanson was a guy and Quagmire couldn't believe it! I can see why Taylor looks more like a girl then the other two. Saw them on MTV Cribs and geez I thought it was girl walking in and it was him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 let me see. They all play their own instruments. Check. They all write their own music. Check They can sing.

But it is just taking into consideration the type of music they play. "Just playing your own instrument...etc." would NEVER be enough for a band in my style of music. But in a style that has become so much of a sham as the Pop industry has, this becomes something to give an artist "points", but it isn't just that they play the instruments, it is also that they are actually good at playing those instruments, and they are one of the few Pop bands doing it all.

greasywheels121 Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I share a name with one of them, and I used to play the drums too, kind of like Michael Bolton off Office Space. So I used to get ridiculed to no end about them. So yes, they suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
