Conor Oberst

[SonicBloom]

Greatest songwriter ever? I want to find someone better. Who do you think, and why?

[Veratyr Star]

Not the greatest. He has one topic mainly and it's around the Inlove high school break up drama whine moan cry feel sorry for oneself.


Nah, not the greatest imo.

You haven't heard enough of him. I'll admit I'm not a huge fan of Bright Eyes, I like them, but they aren't my favorite, but what he did with the Desparecidos is amazing. I wish he dropped Bright Eyes and continued with them. Conor Oberst has quite a range one doesn't expect, and he only limits himself.

I agree I wouldn't say he's the greatest because they are so many talented songwriters. But he doesn't have a singular style which many believe he does.

[Metaphor]

what do you mean by songwriter?

[SonicBloom]

Damn, I was too drunk for the internet last night, I don't remember making this thread.

So you've clearly never heard Bright Eyes, or are a retard. Probably both.

Connor Oberst, biggest pussy ever.

[thcbongman]

Well, what do you listen to?

[mudkipzman]

Music that doesn't have a singer who sounds like he's crying every song.

[thcbongman]

If it smells like one, and walks like one......

You are willing to talk shit about a musician without offering your tastes. Truly "pussy." So let me give you another opportunity. Talk about how great the music is you listen to, I'm all ears.

Oh wow. Just because I was too lazy to type out shit I like, don't mean anything.

Necrophagist, Red Sparowes, Mortician, Pig Destroyer, Bob MArley, Black Sabbath, RBL Posse, Old Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, bla bla bla. I could write everything I want, but I don't want to. And it's that easy. It's funny how I'm a pussy when I'm lazy. haha.

[thcbongman]

Well that's not my problem, is it?

Now I have a clearer picture of why you dislike Conor Oberst. I mean after all, you have a preference for more technical death metal. Not exactly my thing, but hey more power to you.

As for Conor Oberst crying in every song, it's obvious you haven't heard of the Desparecidos. I can't fault you for ignorance.

[mudkipzman]

I like everything dude. I just can't stand a person who wallows almost completely in self pity, or a band.

[thcbongman]

But that's my point, he doesn't just do that.

Seriously, listen to the Desparecidos, you'll see another side of Conor Oberst. He totally rocks out in the only album they released. Very different from Bright Eyes, it's a raw punkish sound they have.

[SonicBloom]

It's funny how I'm a pussy when I'm lazy. haha.


No, that's not funny, it's pathetic. You're a pussy when you're lazy.

You're also short sighted to say he wallows in self pity. More often then not his songs are stories about the mystery and beauty of life.
