Kings of Leon

I was recently accosted by a friend who thought my blog has turned elitist and fake. She claimed that I seemed to be conforming to the musical opinions of all critics; that instead of actually promoting my own true musical loves, I was merely trying to project an image of the "music critic" and that it was that image, more than anything else, that I was striving for with this blog.

Well, I'm going to go out on a limb this post, and let you all know, that I love this band solely because of their sound. Yes, that's right. I'm not trying to impress anyone. I'm not trying to project an image about myself. I'm not trying to make it look like I know more music than you, the reader (because I probably don't) nor am I'm trying to convince you that the music I like is better than the music that you like (because that's probably not true either- unless of course you're a die hard Britney Spears fan. In that case, I can say, without a doubt, that this music is better than that). I started this blog to share music with my friends, and that's what it's going to continue to be.

So listen to the Kings of Leon. Not because I'm telling you to. Not because "music critics" think they're good (they may or may not- I really have no idea). Listen to them because they have an amazing sound and are just an all around great band. These guys have heart, they have soul, and most importantly they have grit- and the guts to play awesome music in a world full of crappy pap. And if you're going to be in the NY area this coming January 29th, buy some tickets to see them rock Madison Square Garden. I know I did.
