    That said, Guster still sucks.

That description of folk pop does not really remind me of the Fruit Bats, allmusic.com similar artists are - The Possibilities, Holopaw, Radar Bros., The Shins, ESP Summer, The Polyphonic Spree, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci

Can I just clarify, in the proper thread, that i DO NOT like Guster.  I never have, and never will.
 
   It was simply a question because a Guster fan-friend of mine is coming to visit over Labor Day and i was thinking it would be nice to take her to see them.  
 
   geeeeeez.

No need to get defenseive over a band you like (or don't like). I like Dasboard Confessional, who is ruefully hated by the vast majority of the board. Don't hide from your true self sonic...release yourself from the bonds of the status quo.
 
 Yeah, I think guster kinda sucks too though.

Yeah, i definitely dont like Guster. I just think people were taking it a little too far, and not in just one thread, so i figured i would let it be known that i dont like Guster. In fact, I dont like much "folk" music at all. which is why i was ribbing Rhett about liking shitty pop folk bands.
 
   I think the more popular the band is, the more they suck....apparently. cause I thought the Mars Volta was being talked up at one point.  
 
   And i read Q not Spin, get it right...besides, who listens to a Canadians opinions anyway?

You're the Indie Rock Rhett, aren't you? Come on, you can tell us.   :p

[sonickteam2]

perhaps, i dont know what that entails though.
 
 do i have to be old and grumpy?

[sonickteam2]

So if Guster is sucky folk pop, then what are the Jayhawks, and is it reasonable that i dont like Guster, but I really like the Jayhawks?

Sonick doesn't like indie rock, and he thinks people who do are snobs.

From what I can tell, Guster is more from the collegiate/frat Dave Matthews school of music, whereas Jayhhawks are more alt-country/70's rock...unless you're talking about Smile or Sound of Lies, maybe they are in the sucky folk pop category.

Sound of Lies is not folky at all, and IMHO is a damn fine album.  Closer to Power Pop.  Smile is crap though.
