Not really. I like plenty of basic songs, as well as more complex challenging songs, but these guys just sort of bore me. I gave Boys And Girls In America another listen and thought Stuck Between Stations was good, but other than that nothing caught my ear.

Ok...fair enough, I was just curious. Good call though. "Stuck Between Stations" is probably the major standout.

Forgive me, but not even the most brilliant lyricist on the planet could salvage a dull piece of music. I don't particularly like classic rock yes, I prefer something new and original regarding style, but if the likes of The white stripes can produce exciting rock music (that is very much rooted in the classic rock genre), I don't see why I should tolerate a band that never should have left the local bar scene. This is in no way a brash generalization, it's quite individualized, The Hold Steady make boring music that gets on my tits.

I'd just like to point out, you listen to Wolfmother.

Compared to The Hold Steady, Wolfmother is a sonic blast of rock and roll orgasm. And Woman is one of the best rock songs of 2006.

One of my favorite bands. Separation Sunday blows anything else from that year out of the water.

As far as Craig Finn bands go, I personally like Lifter Puller better than the Hold Steady.

Pitchfork: The New Hold Steady Album: Stay Positive

Stay Positive leaked. I doubt it can touch Boys and Girls in America but if its just as good as Lifter Puller I'll be happy.
