Why are Lostprophets and Brand New being compared to Panic!At The Disco and AFI?

Question

Seriously. Take two great bands such as Lostprophets and Brand New and compare them to P!ATD and AFI and their credibility is all lost. If you ever say those bands in the same sentence with each other, you obviously have no taste in music besides what MTV and TRL and the radios have been force-feeding you.

Last Train Home by Lostprophets can NOT be compared to I Write Sins Not Tragedies, and it never will be.

Answer 1

what if you have been listening to panic at the disco when their songs were still demos and since before their cd came out and listening to afi forever do you still have horrible music taste?


but to answer your question they dont sound a like and shouldnt be compared because they dont sound the same. all great bands.

Answer 2

AFI has more hardcore and punk cred than you think. Their career spans for over a decade and a half. That's 15 years. You obviously don't know much about AFI or listened to their older music.
The only reason you seem to not like AFI is because they're compared to other bands that have made them lose credibility. Kinda what you think Lost Prophets and Brand New are going through.

Answer 3

I don't know...I've never heard Brand New...but Lostprophets sounds absolutely nothing like Panic!

Answer 4

They are all pretty terrible. Plus, I see nothing of your comment about Brand New. Lostprophets were helped by MTV just like Panic! was.. don't be all pretentious now that one of "your" bands is being compared to the flavor of the week

Answer 5

Since all four bands are (at least loosely) in the same genre (emo) they'll always be compared. Also, just because someone compares song A to song B it doesn't mean they think they're both good, just that they are similar in style.
