Barenaked Ladies

[Kingofdudes]

I know that me and Jom are not the only ones on mx that listen to The Barenaked Ladies (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands.php?bandid=485). Now that we have a pop rock forum we may as well have a thread dedicated to this group of amazing Canadian songwriters.

I have Rock Spectacle (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?albumid=759), Stune (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?albumid=3607), Maroon (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?albumid=2854), and Everything to Everyone (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?albumid=884). All of them are great, but Stunt and Rock Spectacle are my favorites.

Also, every BnL fan needs to check out Steven Page's side Project The Vanity Project (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?albumid=5257)

So what are your guy's favorite albums, and does anyone know about anything about the new album the band is working on?

Jom's write up on the band can be found here (http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=422251)

Woah new forum.

I love these guys. Saw them live on December 16th. I've been listening to them since I was eight-nine years old. Great pop rock.

I couldn't pick a favorite album, but my favorite songs are Be My Yoko Ono and Brian Wilson.

[muthafunkabass]

Haha, Be My Yoko Ono is my favorite song by them too.

[DanD]

I have Maroon, and I listen to it occasionally when I'm in the right mood. Unfortunatly I don't enjoy that album overall enough to go buy some more of their records.

[Jom]

I know that me and Jom are not the only ones on mx that listen to The Barenaked Ladies (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands.php?bandid=485).

Haha, very nice - Sputnikmusic links and attributing BNL loving!

You guys are more than welcome to read an article I wrote in R&M about them here (http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=422251), if you guys would like.

As for new material, I don't know, but I received an e-mail about this:

BARENAKED LADIES Presents "SHIPS AND DIP" JANUARY 15 - 19, 2007

Join Barenaked Ladies on a cruise like no other! Departing Ft. Lauderdale, Florida on January 15, 2007 on the Carnival Legend and returning January 19, 2007, Barenaked Ladies' Ships and Dip will stop in Turks and Caicos. The band will perform multiple concerts and multiple trips to the buffet, and, in between, everyone aboard will be treated to a truly Barenaked experience. From intimate solo shows to jam sessions to a rollicking karaoke party with BNL, Ships and Dip is a must for any true Barenaked Ladies aficionado.
Guster will also be joining BNL on board to offer up even more musical entertainment for everyone. Other friends of the band from the worlds of music and comedy will be announced shortly.
This will also be an eco-friendly cruise. Ships and Dip will implement an extensive greening program.

Members of BNL's official fan club, the Ladies Room, have had the opportunity to make their bookings this week during a special pre-sale that started March 13th. Cabins have been selling like crazy!

For details on the itinerary, pricing & payments, age requirement, available discounts, fees, cancellations, transfers and to make a booking, please visit http://www.shipsanddip.com.

Hahaha, wow, a cruise with BNL. That'd be crazy.

[Broken Arrow]

Yeah, I've been listening to these guys since I was a little kid, since their always played on the radio in Canada.

I like Brian Wilson, Pinch Me and Be my Yoko Ono the best.

The video for Pinch Me is pretty funny too. They have good videos.

[Pazz]

I don't have any of their CDs, but I hear them on the radio and see them on TV performing alot and they are really catchy.

[Mute Print]

I never owned any of their CDs, but I listened to them a lot growing up. Really fun band.

[Sph]

I never owned any of their CDs, but I listened to them a lot growing up. Really fun band.
123. I hear heaps of their stuff on the radio, and love it, but I've never actually bought an album.

I guess I should.

[Dave de Sylvia]

This is another one of those bands (along with Bloodhound Gang) that last.fm is 100% convinced I should love and keeps on playing despite my complete hatred for them. I don't know what it is, some bands just rub you up the wrong way.

[murphy54]

it is cool idea ...keep up the good work:chug:

*pulls AK-47*

If you like BNL you should like Butch Walker :cool:

[Mexican Bandito]

I love The Barenaked Ladies.

I went to see them 2 years back when they played the Academy in Glasgow - they put on an amazing show and have a great connection with the audience. Hearing them live was just like listening to one of their cd's.
:D

[gaslight]

Barenaked Ladies = awesome.

One thing I like about their music is how you really hear through their playing how they seem to be having a great time doing it.

[Tomahawk]

I've only heard "One Week", and whatever the follow-up single was. Doesn't really inspire me to check out more. But tell me a few other songs and I'll give 'em a go.

[morrissey]

Being Canadian, of course I know these guys and hear them on the radio all the time. I don't own any albums, but I know all the singles and while they aren't mindblowing it is pleasant, fun music.

[Kingofdudes]

*pulls AK-47*

If you like BNL you should like Butch Walker :cool:

I do need to check him out

I've only heard "One Week", and whatever the follow-up single was. Doesn't really inspire me to check out more. But tell me a few other songs and I'll give 'em a go.
Maybe their older stuff would interest you, try
Brian Wilson
If I had 1000000
The Old Apartment
These Apples
What a Good Boy

[Jom]

If not their older stuff, than perhaps their newer stuff, too.

It's All Been Done, Some Fantastic, Falling for the First Time, Pinch Me, The Humour of the Situation, Too Little Too Late, Testing 1-2-3, and Aluminum are good picks.

[The_Red_Death]

I used to be in love with this band, and listening to them brings back a lot of memories. I've heard they're great live, and I'd love to see them, if not only for old times sake.

[zabbit82]

Alright! A thread for the Barenaked Ladies!

I have Disc 1: All Thier Greatest Hits, and Maroon. I don't listen to Maroon a whole lot, but the Greatest Hits CD is among one of my favorite CDs to listen to. I'd love to see them live.

NP: BNL - Brian Wilson (Live)

[CardCheat]

Yeah I also have Disc 1:All Their Greatest Hits, and it's pretty good.
But I bought Everyone to Everything when it came out and was very disappointed.

Favorite song: It's Only Me (The Wizard of blah)

[drake9]

I love BNL! My favorite song is Falling for the First Time! I love that song. I like their other ones too. One Week was the first song of theirs I ever heard. BNL Rock! also they sounded like classic too..

[simplephotographinthesun]

i saw them live in early december, simply fantastic.

[insanepunkguy]

my uncle introduced me to them, and there damed good

[Kingofdudes]

Has anyone downloaded any of their official bootlegs? How are they?

[The Stig]

Sup, New Forum?

Lots of closet BNL fans in here. I have all of their stuff except Maroon, Rock Spectacle, and the Christmas album. Gordon is my favorite. And I may re-review MYSD if it hasn't been done yet.

[ert90]

I love BNL! My favorite song is Falling for the First Time! I love that song. I like their other ones too. One Week was the first song of theirs I ever heard. BNL Rock! also they sounded like classic too..

That pretty much sums how I feel about BNL. Maroon is a pop masterpiece and deserves a lot more recognition than it gets.

[DESZARAI]

I HEARD THAT ONE 2:thumb:

[Kingofdudes]

Maroon is a pop masterpiece and deserves a lot more recognition than it gets.
I agree that is does get put down a bit too much.

In BnL news, my copy of Gordon (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?albumid=4117) came in today. Now I only need Born on a Pirate Ship (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?albumid=4125), Maybe You Should Drive (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?albumid=4160), and Barenaked for the Holidays (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?albumid=1154).

My old Pit thread. All my sentiments for BNL can be found there.

Rock Spectacle is GOLD.

[Storm In A Teacup]

They have nice, fun guitar riffs.

[Kingofdudes]

Back from the dead :cool:
I can't wait for the new album :-D

[here comes the bird flu]

This reminds me of third grade when me and my friend used to listen to them.

[Volumnius Flush]

I don't get it. They aren't naked, and they aren't ladies.

[MYR]

I am currently blasting The Old Apartment from my computer speakers... :cool:

[Interstate]

Their greatest hits is so good.
