The Ataris

[Kastman]

Ok who here likes the ataris....?


They are my favourite band ever. I only own Blue skies and so long astoria because im poor lol... but there isnt one song of theirs i dont like.

I saw thema t a concert last night and it seriously was the best thing i have ever seen, because the actual kris roe was within 10 metre of me, and he is my god, apart form real god.


these are the songs theyplayed not in order though...

You know what I think of The Ataris:o

They're decent. I'll put em on once in a while.

just another whiny emo band to me. i think it is really stupid that the did a cover of the song "Boys of Summer" and made it sound exactly the same as the original in every possible way.

Hey I used to like these back when they were really underground kind of band. Being around a while haven't they?

San Demis High School Football Rules (man I hate long song titles) is by far their best track.

I don't really know why I never picked any of their stuff up when they made it mainstream over here in the UK. What's their best album?

I also remember some of their accoustic stuff being better than the rockier songs. Any accoustic albums of theirs you know of?

Personally I prefer The Get Up Kids... for the mellow stuff anyhow.

put it this way. if it was a choice between listening to radiohead and listening to the ataris, id listen to radiohead.

go find some of my posts on radiohead to illustrate this point further ;)

LOL!


quite a lot. enough to have somewhere between 100 and 150 CD's. its just, everytime i see a topic on here, it always seems to be about a band that i personally dont like. and i am not one for holding my opinions back. you probably noticed that ;) and i dont see why a topic should just be about for the fans of that band...the miserable sods like me have a right to have a say too ;)
