Not me. But I found it funny that they have a lot of cool stuff in the list but still manage to sound boring.

Well maybe, but at least the Switchfoot singer doesn't sound like he's chewing tobacco when he sings, as opposed to Scott Stapp and Chad whatever his last name is. But I absolutely loathe that "Dare You to Move" song.

tossing switchfoot in with that crowd (except maybe jars of clay) is pretty unfair, but i'll assume those making the comparison haven't heard them. i had a roommate who used to play them all the time back in my freshman year.

i feel bad for you. what's more embarrassing is i used to be a big jesus lover like 5 years ago and that's the type of shit i listened to(and their big single "i dare you to move" came out in like 2000 or 2001.. am i right?). except i did listen to the misfits and sex pistols and.. i think that's all.

i don't know what changed me.. well i do, i felt like i was in a cult, everyone was telling me everything i felt, thought, and did was wrong in the eyes of god, listening to stuff like the misfits was sinful, i threw away about 100 or so rap/hip hop cds because of this church, i was constantly criticized and i felt really sad a lot so i left the church, and i stopped speaking to everyone there.. i don't believe in god now. after being surrounded by that shit, it's sort of hard to.

it's not like it was some horrible experience, but it wasn't good. it was unhealthy. they just made me feel like i was this terrible person.
oh well, it's all over now. i started listening to stuff like matt pond pa and les savy fav and the grateful dead (weird combination. still matt pond, not so much into it anymore) a little while after i left the church. here i am now, switchfootless.

My fondest memories of Switchfoot was last summer when I was walking to the store and a drunk chick and guy were in there lexus suv blaring the music while head banging as hard as they could to it.

and when I was on the 'el' and a girl sat next to me blaring switchfoot out of here headphones while nonchalantley headbanging.

Yes, I have heard switchfoot and I group it into "nu metal'. The same genre as those other hacks.

I laughed.
