BOO!!!!! (:ruthie:) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 07:50:57 -0700 (PDT) From: Kelly Scofield Subject: Rainer Maria Hey... Rainer Maria came to my college earlier this year... They were pretty good... Isn't the girl and the guitarist like practically married...??? I was just curious which of the bands below you thought were the boy band of indie rock??? Kelly.......... RE: yup, rainer maria is pretty darn good. i actually hate much of the "emo" genre, but i do like RM & sunny day real estate (though neither one is truly "emo"). when i think of emo, i usually picture the younger, whiny white-boy bands like jimmy eat world, the get up kids, & the promise ring. i'm sorry, but....yuck. they truly are the backstreet boys & NSYNC of indie rock; they're good looking, everybody likes them, but they suck terribly. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
