Train: C or D?

said song also features an egregious & unnecessary rhyme of 'president' with 'president', which is enough to make their more recent clunkers like 'tenderloin'/'tender coin' seem positively Keatsian

My sister and brother-in-law think Train are great. I am not convinced

lol i like "Meet Virginia"

Train encompass a genre I like to call "Piano Bar rock"

Just heard what I assume is their new single (the one that bites "Heart and Soul" or something). Satan's taking too long to collect on the "Hey Soul Sister" comeback.

...I missed mentioning, I heard it TWICE in two different businesses in the space of 30 minutes.

its like why saddam and not pat monahan?

Watching you’s the only drug I need. :-)

Worst ever.

I was in a car listening to the radio last night and had the misfortune of hearing Train's 'Play that song'. Never has a song made me want to claw may ears of more. It reminded me of that 30 Rock doing 'America's Kids Got Singing' but it wasn't a joke. How the hell do they have 11 Albums, or a career for that matter.

Partway through Alfred's piece, realised I hadn't heard Meet Virginia before. It's clearly awful and sounds to me an older cousin of One Direction's equally dreadful "what makes you beautiful". However not all is lost as I misheard one of the lines as "we sit at home and live on President" - we have no money for real food or heating but we do have some Brie and a blanket. perfect and sadly relatable romantic image.

Their new single is called "Mai Tais".

I believe that is Tagalog for "My Humps."

kill this band

Also missed that the song had already been out for awhile--it underperformed upon initial release, and then was re-serviced to radio & muzak in hopes becoming a Summer Hit tying into their tour.

Drummer Drew Shoals left the band in January 2019 to return to practicing law

"drops of jupiter" is a classic! haven't heard any other good songs by them tho and some are truly heinous

^ note my enjoyment of "jupiter" probably depended in part on the fact that i was unable to understand some of its worst lyrics (soy latte etc)

She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there's room to grow

makes you think

Gawd i can't stand them. About five awful songs that are on the radio all the time i'd find out, one every few years or so, are by this band

These guys are the only thing that makes me second guess if Led Zeppelin was good.

lmao i've definitely looked up the lyrics to this song before but i didn't realize this was the lyric. yikes!

D

"Hey Soul Sister" is the worst single of the decade.
