what's shibby mean?

I can't stand the Donnas. I don't know why, just something about their sound. And I feel like I've heard them a thousand times before in other bands. And, the only song I've ever heard of theirs is "Take It Off", which gets played on the radio a million times a day, and really annoys me. I don't like the lead singer's voice at all, either.

And these lyrics *shudder*, so overdone/not thoughtful:

"come on and take it off! you gotta take it off, baby, for me. come on and shake it off! cuz I get what I want and I like what I see! Break me off, you gotta break me off baby"

*vomit*

they are the only known female rock band out there?

The whole problem, actually, in my opinion, is that the young people of today have no understanding or appreciation of the fact that new music is just recycled music. There is very little true originality out there anymore.

Maybe the Donnas will evolve, but they're bugging me right now.

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts--now that was a real female rock band.

I never liked Wilson Phillips, the Indigo Girls had maybe one song I liked, and the Bangles were popular when I was about five years old, so I couldn't really get into them as a true music fan would. lol.

Oh I do. S'just Cherry Bomb kinda lets your mind run abit wilder. I've heard the first two all the time.. C.B. just has more punch.

Nah, not at all.

(watch, now Luz will laugh on purpose) lol

Don't worry about it, that's what the boards are here for, conversation, which is what we're having. Have no fear, Phoenix is here 🙂

They were both actually beautiful at different times in their careers.

Ann.. the simmery shimmery Brunette (in~case~of~nuclear~war~I~would~kill~all~men~within~5mile~radius~to~have~her) Wilson. And her sister, the BlondeBOmbShell. Course.. these are just.. my opinions. 🙂

I've never been in the punk element, actually. Never gonna 'mosh.. I wouldn't survive... But I'd like to see all the 'duds' and maxing out to the 9's the people do.
There aren't any "Big" clubs here. We don't get Foam or Soap bubbles dropping from the ceiling, girls in cages, etc.. I would be interested in seeing a hugely successful club.

I wouldn't survive either, and you know...I think the loud garish-ness of it all would annoy me. I too would like to see the crazy duds though. We don't have any real clubs here either. We have a gentlemen's club, but no one will ever tell me what that is.
