what about "Five for Fighting" -a one man band that also sounds just like Dave Mathews too.  Also: Hi all, I miss you.

*steps back*
Howdy. I have conference to tell you about now you're back! I say leaving for another one.
I'd have stuff from the last one but unfortunately there wasn't much they were giving out. I may be able to get some of the stuff particularly from (finds the programme) Christine Welsh, like more than the abstract I have here. But I'll whitter about that somewhere else.


Anyway, to what I was saying, which was to avoid Evanescence, which is highly wise - just don't turn on the TV!

Isn't Five For Fighting the band who did that slow, schmaltzy song about Superman basically being angry that he was born?

If so, they can entirely go to die. My crappy pop radio was ruined for a sizable period of time by that song.

Yes, that is "Five for Fighting," but as I mentioned, "Five for Fighting" is only one guy.  How pretentious to give yourself a name like you're band, but you're not, your only one sucky guy.  With a name like "Five for Fighting," perhaps he's hoping to get beat up less?

"Five For Fighting" is one dude? Ridiculous.

I've never seen what the actual guy looks like 'til now, so now I'm even more annoyed.  

Also annoying, John Mayer lyric from Your Body is a Wonderland: " your candy lips, and bubble gum tongue."  Bubble gum tongue?!  Go to hell!

I read that the name Five For Fighting was refering to the fingers that clinch to make a fist.  I don't know if this helps their cause in this discussion or makes matters worse.  Anywho, they appeared at the Concert for New York 9-11 benefit and I remember there being were two of 'em there.  Regarless of all that, musically speaking I think the technical term that best describes their sound is -it sucks-.

Worse, as it raises the problem of the thumb.

[V-Adore]

Yes, as any first-grader knows, there are only four fingers; the thumb is... well, a thumb. Duh.

Anyway, I don't particularly care whether FfF* is one guy or two. All I know is that any band with "Five" in the name should either be Ben Folds Five, god bless their souls, or actually consist of five members.

* optimally to be pronounced "fff"

How about if we say "digits" instead of "fingers"?

Back in my radio listening days there was a boy-band called 5ive (or something to that extent) that always tricked me up: Five-ive?

That reminds me of people who insist on writing that movie title as "Se7en"

No allowance for Jurassic 5?  Also, this topic has forced me to find out if there were indeed the correct numbers of folks in MC5 and/or the Dave Clark 5.  Damn conventionalists.

Additionally, I have never heard of this John Mayer person, and I am quite glad.

I always always scan that as Sezen.

Not familiar with them. However, if they are awesome (and plural on some level), I'll grant them dispensation.

I have never been able to stomach "Se7en" as a writing. The movie itself sort of makes me want to hurt things, but that spelling more so.

OMG, I thought I was the only one that pronounced it five-ive.  Not that I actually discussed this group with anyone ever, but I imagined I would be greeted by blank stares if I were to try to explain logically to a 10 year old girl (who else would I be talking boy bands with?) that 5ive should be pronounced five-ive.  I mean really, the ive is totally superfulous.  How can you listen to that crap anyway.  Oh come on, stop crying.
