Just wondering, do any of you out there know of Jet? And if so, what do you think? Theyre huge here, and theyre one of my favourite punk bands.

I've heard the one song, though I don't remember the name of it (something about 'being my girl'?).

Sound very much like the Hives to me...

The name of the song is "Are You Gonna Be My Girl"... thats their most popular one. It got voted #1 for 2003 in the JJJ hottest 100, if youre interested.

I heard one song, probably the same as everyone else. Thought it was a bit boring tbh. I wish the press wouldn't hype things out of proportion when they sound like everyone else...at least, that was my impression. I mean, Franz Ferdinand? One good song doesn't make a successful career I'm afraid. [addsig]

You seem to not know the true meaning of the D.

I appreciate Jet at this current moment. They're the only rock act that SNL, which I watch religiously, has booked this season. I don't know why they're trying to ruin the whole musical guest aspect of the show but it's sure working.

Scatman John or Scatman Crothers?

I think Scatman John is still going...probably still very popular in Germany or something

Scatman John is dead :/

Jet are something that's been done a thousand times before, just as badly. IMO.

Yeah, ok they have got some good songs, but alot of their stuff isn't actually "music" if you see my point.

You haven't listened to the album or watched the HBO specials, have you? Franz Ferdinand, however, I saw live (supporting Funeral For A Friend, of all people). Take Me Out is their only good song.

I've listened to a few other Jet songs, and they seem very bland. [addsig]

Exactly! They're more a comedy duo than a serious musical act. They are to rock what Penn and Teller are to crazy circus sideshows.

Way to break it to him gently you insensitive prick!

I downloaded a Jet song and I didn't like it. That's what I get for trying to broaden my horizons. f**k sake. [addsig]

Jet's kinda generic. Not great, but not bad. They get a lot of radio play in Indianapolis so their singles got old fast, but they're still better than Creed/Nickelback/Staind/et al

I don't know why you guys are calling Jet punk, they're nothing like what I think of when I hear punk (Bad Religion, Rancid, old Green Day, Sex Pistols, etc). They're more of a garage band sound than punk. Retro and stuff.

Oh, another Australian band that I'm somewhat a fan of that could be called punk is The Living End. That's some good stuff, too bad they're just a one-hit wonder round here.

Ooo, The Living End is good. Dunno how they could be called a one hit wonder when I know of at least two songs that were played on the radio (Roll On and Prisoner of Society)

I think Elvis raped Warrant and that song was their retarded bastard spawn.

The fact that it's popular should be a warning not an enticement.

I must listen to some industrial to feel clean again.

Huh. I didn't get no Roll On. And New England radio was much the worse for not having it.
