I personally love the Pillows. Ever since FLCL I couldn't get enough. Stalker and Stalker Goes to Babylon are my fave songs. You concur?

Hmm, Stalker is decent while Babylon I simply detest because it's just kinda a techno rehash of Stalker, I felt they could've done better...

But I do concur that The Pillows probably are one of the most badass bands out there, only second to maybe Nirvana but thats just me, my faves are No Self Control, Terminal Heaven's Rock, Skim Heaven, and Smile! xd

Yay! FLCL is one of the greatest animes ever! The Pillows really are amazing... I agree with what's been said. (Including that Nirvana is a 5w33t band.)

Yea Furi Kuri was a pretty badass anime I must admit, the only one thats relatively close to being better is Cowboy Bebop of course... domokun

The Pillows kick a**. I like Stalker, although it is really creepy when they start saying ''We'll soon be happy, won't weeeeeeeeeeee?'' Whenever I hear that I think of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac with glowing blue eyes and a metallic claw hand ala Edward Scissor Hands.

Creepy, ne?

Oh, has anyone here heard the creepy remixed version of Advice? It's really weird, but I like it.

Stalker would just make a badass theme song.

Imagine it...walking down a street with that just exuding from you. Totally cool. And of course people would part for you because of your awesome song.

Oh, btw. No Disc (Cowboy Bebop) is also wicked cool.

The Pillows: So overtly bland and innoffensive, that they simply excell due to dull mediocrity.

You know, like U2.

Ya, like you need to be offensive and gimmicky in order to be good. confused

I love the Pillows. So they're not 'out there' compared to other bands. It doesn't mean they're bad musicians.

Unlike other bands they don't sell out to the public and become what they want, they did their own thing and the public came to like it, thats why The Pillows are badass...

The Pillows really aren't all that impressive compared to all the other Japanese bands out there.

And whoever said FLCL was up there next to Cowboy Bebop; damn, you should really watch some better anime. FLCL wasn't anything great.

No kidding....

Hint: There's more to anime than just what Cartoon Network show.

They're just too overly consistant for my tastes. You know what you're getting with a Pillows record. You can listen to any of their songs for more than 5 seconds and go 'Oh, it's The Pillows'.

I actually like them, but not for stretches of a full album.

God, I hate Cartoon Network. It's one of the main reasons we have so many Japanophile idiots running around.

Oh I think I know what you're getting it. All I have to do is imagine what they did to Sailormoon. 3nodding
