Just Jack Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 After the split, how can either BNL or Page be as popular? Using the old chestnut "by mutual agreement," singer Steven Page and the rest of his former band mates in Canadian super pop group Barenaked Ladies announced on the BNL web site that they're breaking up. Jim Creeggan, Kevin Hearn, Ed Robertson and Tyler Stewart will continue on as Barenaked Ladies while Page will pursue other things, including theatrical productions. It's likely that this split has been in the cards since Page's well-publicized arrest for cocaine possession in Manlius in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanNC Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 BNL definitely jumped the shark when that damn song one week. Their first two CD's Gordon and Maybe you Should Drive was their pinnacle. I remember seeing them at the old Icon downtown in the early 90's. Good times. They put out a children's album this year that my four year old loves. They should just stick to that genre at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erynthered Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Ed's probably crying in his maypo right about now about this news. Though, He'll always have Britney Spears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Hodgson left Supertramp at the height of their popularity and became a one hit wonder, he quickly realized his mistake and went back to the band and they've been struggling ever since. One down...four more to go. Can't happen soon enough. Bonehead!! BNL definitely jumped the shark when that damn song one week.

"Pinch Me" is a great song too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyemike Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I love "One Week" it's been beaten to death but it's still a good song. "Pinch Me" is a great song too. "If I Had $1000000" is still their best song. The final line of that song was my first sig line on this board six and a half years ago (God, has it really been that long? I need to go outside and get a life). I think that the breakup of the band is near. Everything to Everyone was not a good album and Barenaked Ladies are Me(n) didn't do hardly anything on the charts. Sad to say, but I think BNL's best days are behind them. A side note: years ago, when my brother still lived at home, he told my mother he was going to a Barenaked Ladies show. Mom thought he was going to a strip club, and got upset. I had to explain to Mom that BNL was a rock band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't care for much else they make. BNL and Nickleback can somehow make their music sound Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnykterstein Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 BNL is still around? Did one of them get busted by the feds for growing weed or something. I could swear one of them was in federal prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theesir Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Agreed, easily my favorite song by them as well. And like yourself, there aren't many, if any, more. I vote for "Bank Job" Barenaked Ladies are Me as my favorite. Not popular, but a GREAT song. Their Barenaked for the Holidays disc is excellent as well. SnowMan is my favorite on it. It literally chokes me up each time I hear it. As for other good songs being few and far between. I guess that's true if you only count radio hits, but I could list MANY really good songs....just off the top of my head. Bull in a China Shop Jane Its all Been Done Blame it on Me and again from the Holiday disc Green Christmas and Elf's Lament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
