This came up on Spotify and I thought, “Here’s a Smiths song I’ve not heard.” There’s a reason I’ve not heard it: it’s not the Smiths.

yeah, that’s blatant.

Speaking of blatant ripoffs, thoughts on Greta Van Fleet?

I’m sorry, but that name means nothing to me.

I take it you don’t like them? I ask because they’re from the same state as me, so the radio stations are going ape over them. I don’t get it. They’re just a glorified cover band if you ask me.

It’s not that I don’t like them; I never heard of them!

I love them - maybe not original, but love the singers voice and no one is making rock like that anymore.

Wow it’s like they made zero attempt to be original.

Zero. Attempt.

I couldn’t think of anything else to reply with, so a simple “Gotcha” was all I could. Just my way of saying I understood what you actually meant by their name meaning nothing to you.

I can respect your opinion, but IDK, something about them just irks me.

I can see that - they’re very derivative, that’s for sure.
