Taylore Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Taylor Hanson of Hanson, James Iha of Smashing Pumpkins, Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne and Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick have come together to form "Tinted Windows" http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/iha-ca...003942166.story Well, being a huge Hanson fan, I am very excited to hear how they sound.

danelectro Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Wow, really? I can't say I'm a fan of any of those guys, though FOW was kind of cool for a minute. I'm only interested because it's a bizarre collaboration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only interested because it's a bizarre collaboration. I'm not a fan of any of those groups particularly either but I knew Adam Schlessinger a long time ago I'd give it a listen only out of curiosity - though I could be pleasantly surprised!

jimmie ray Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 The Traveling Wilburys were the last true supergroup that comes to mind. I never even accepted ASIA as one - so I don't know about this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigzepfan Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Velvet Revolver was sort of a supergroup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfman Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Bun E. Carlos is a complete douchebag. I read an interview awhile back where he said both Zeppelin and John Bonham were overrated. Jealously is never good Bun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylore Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Ok so...I'm kind of ashamed that I posted this here. Rolling Stone posted their first single and yeah...definately not what I expected. I mean, I do like it and I think it's a good song in terms of catchiness but I thought they would sound much more mature than this. I expected so much more out of Taylor especially since he is such an amazing songwriter and multi-talented musician. I'm kind of disappointed that they sound more like Fountains of Wayne, which I think is the least innovative group out of the 4 that each of the members are from. If you listen to Hanson, they really sound nothing like this. Oh well, maybe the album will have some better, less poppy songs on it. You can hear their first single here: http://www.rollingstone.com/blogs/smokings...ted-windows.php It's called "Kind of a Girl" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could definitely hear the 80's powerpop influences they were speaking of, though I rather put on my old Buzzcocks records then listen to this.

Jahfin Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Oh well, maybe the album will have some better, less poppy songs on it. With the exception of Iha, judging by the lineup I'd expect the album to sound "poppy". By the way, I love Cheap Trick and Fountains of Wayne. Can't say I ever cared at all for Hanson. I also really like early Smashing Pumpkins but they completely lost me after that. As for "power pop", I love that kind of music but so often people seem to get thrown off by the "pop" part of that description. Think early Beatles, Nick Lowe, Rockpile, early Elvis Costello, Cheap Trick, Fountains of Wayne, etc. "Pop" in this instance isn't meant to be a bad word.
