Awesome tune and having just seen them in concert earlier this month, I can say they are the real deal; meaning amazingly talented, Unpretentious, and actually fun-loving guys creating uniquely powerful and refreshing music.

  You have JUST GOT to be kidding me ! They just keep getting worse and worse - more and more pretentious - more and more freaking awful. I just don't understand ?

Goo Tune! I never heard it before.  Thanx RP!

Good tune! Another band that I never heard of before. ...Thanx RP!

Weirdly entertaining.

Actually the Ramones were way ahead of you.  30 years or so.

I fondly remember the introduction of the words HEY and HO into popular music.  I was there in 2014.

Yeah, all the kids are doing it these days. Gets them all riled up. I bet there's a suite of patches for all that crap for midi keyboards.

Alt J goes HEY. Lumineers go HO. HEY, HO LET IT GO. Enough already. Jeez. 

 
It's also possible that it's your acid intake level that's wrong.

There seems to be a lot of this going on at RP these days, but: the lyrics on the page are hilariously incorrect. A small sample:

You're the first and last of your kind
Hold me like an animal utaffable
I wanna be every lever you've pulled
And all showers that shower you
Not a pop or a tune
Like a cat falls and I wanna dump her
Me, I'm in bin
Ignore her worth, and some trivia

You're the first and last of your kind
(Pull me like an animal out of a hole!)
I want to be every lever you pull
And all showers that shower you
I'm gonna paw, paw at you
Like a cat paws at my woollen jumper
Be your Minpin
And Borrower of handsome trivia

Unfortunately the next time I hear this song it will probably be for a car commercial or some other sort of advertising thing . . .

Utaffable is not a word

They've either taken too much acid or not enough and I've never been able to work out which.

Utaffable is not a word, and despite great production, Alt-J are lacking something. They've either taken too much acid or not enough and I've never been able to work out which.

This song and band STILL suck!

the song is a caliopy of moving sonic crud

Yup.

Good to know Adam Sandler has launched a music career since all his movies have been suffering the last few years.

hipster gods. enjoy it now kiddies, it may soon be forgotten. 

hipster gods. enjoy it now kiddies, it may soon be forgotten. 

Alt-J.....still sucking.  Becoming the absolute definition of pretentious crap.

Calling me names makes me not want to play with you.

That took all of 5 minutes to figure out.  Math isn't that hard.  And you're still a troll.

You have too much time on your hands, or you're autisitic, or both.

Since RP ratings are on a per-song basis, not a per-artist basis, the numbers aren't misleading at all.

But let's play it your way for a moment.  As of right now, your 207 1 ratings are 46% of your total, so that's 450 total ratings.  Run those through a couple of filters and there are 93 unique artists.  Let's leave the rest alone, biasing things in your favor.  93/336 is 28%.

28% of the artists played on RP are "Sucko-barfo", per your ratings.

So while you've been busy in the last few weeks (when I first looked, 202 1s were 54% of your ratings, so you had 374 total; you've since added about 71 ratings higher than 1 - good for you, I suppose), you're still in the wrong place.

Many of those 54% are the same artist so the figures are somewhat misleading.

Your math is suspect.  54% of your ratings are a 1; at 202 ratings, this is no statistical anomaly.  Add in your stalker-ish obsession with Alt-J and tendency to spam the same enormous picture around (though to your credit you've cleaned some of those up), and you're simply a calle01-esque troll.  The picture you'd like to paint of your opinion of RP simply isn't congruent with observable reality.

Nope. Great station, it's just unfortunate that one in 20 songs are utter crap like this band. Pretentious, stupid inane lyrics, lead singer sounds like a bad Adam Sandler impression. They will be completely forgotten in 5 years.

Gee, Hoosfoos, did you ever think that maybe this just isn't the station for you?

Some of the worst lyrics I've ever heard.

I recently walked into the house after driving home from work and told my wife, "Let me be the wallpaper that papers up your room."

She failed to see the romance in that.  :-/ 

Dude, you should have used

I'm gonna bed into you like a cat prance into a female
Turn you inside out and lick you like a crisp packet 

That'll you get some action I gairowntee.
