Is it cool or not cool to like Keane?

I'm troubled by this dilemma..,,

i don't think it's cool or uncool to like keane. i think they're a group who, if you say you like them, people will just kind of shrug and go "huh".

like you care

Still haven't got the new one but LOOOOOVED their debut and enjoyed the second one too

I find them very uncool.....for me it is ok to be a band without a guitarplayer, but it is not okay to reproduce the sound of guitar out of a keyboard/computer and add it to the songs.....

The singer is a wuss.....

I guess I don't like 'em!

You know what they say about arguing on the internet… It’s a lot like running a race in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you’re still retarded.

let's put it this way. if i were getting on a crowded bus and there were only two seats left, and i had to choose between sitting next to someone in a keane t-shirt or someone in a nickelback t-shirt, i would so totally sit next to the person in the keane t-shirt. even if they smelled bad.

and if one had a Henry Rollins t-shirt??

I like Keane, but not as much as I think I do. That probably doesn't make much sense. Some of their songs I really like ("Everybody's Changing," "Bend and Break," "She Has No Time," "Somewhere Only We Know," "Is It Any Wonder?"), but the rest seem to be forgotten right after I listen to them. The new album didn't leave much of an impression on the first listen and the second one was quickly forgotten. Still, "Everybody's Changing" alone is enough to justify the band's existence.

I like some of their songs quite a bit. I don´t own any albums though.

And yes, I have heard before that liking Keane is not cool, but who the fuck cares?

One of the most boring bands ever. Followed by the Kaiser Chiefs.

name one good new British band (say, one that came up within the last 2 years) that is exceptionally good and not overhyped.....I'm glad Oasis came with a new respectable album (I'm not a fan though), to show these kids how it is to be done.....not even starting about Radiohead, which is a whole different league!

I don't think it's cool but who gives a shit. They have some good songs.
