I used to really love them. I still like their music but I'm not as rabid as I used to be. They've got some really catchy songs. I remember when I first heard "Dare You to Move" I totally fell in love with them.

Switchfoot! "Dare You To Move" is <3

not only are they a great band, but they're also the sweetest guys ever. I happened to meet them at a CD signing in San Diego (their hometown), and I knew of them before they got big, because one of my church members used to room with Jon. He told me the day that Jon came home and told him he joined a band. ^^ Ah, the college days.

I do agree that I think their older stuff is better, and I hope that they don't fade out with the influx of other bands that sound like them. =T

... I have a picture with Jon! I should try to scan it and post it~

It's about time someone made a thread about them =)... Switchfoot is definitely one of the most talented Alternative bands I've ever heard of. I love so many of their songs. "I Dare You To Move", "Stars", "You", "This Is Your Life", "Let That Be Enough", "Meant To Live", & "The Shadow Proves the Sunshine" are the songs I like most by them.

Yeah! "Meant to Live" is a really great song. I listened to it so much, but maybe because it got played a lot that I grew kind of tired of it. But these days I can listen to it and still love it no matter what.

I was never really into this group, but I'm really enjoying their latest album Oh! Gravity.

Although it is more polished and pop-sounding than their previous albums... it's terrific. The lead singer's voice is great.

So far, "Oh! Gravity" and "Awakening" are my favorite.
surpr!se. ^^v

I adore them. Their music, too. Even though... HAHA, I'm not even Christian.

You know, their stuff is really good. But then the radio totally ruins it, like the radio does ALL the time by overplaying things and making you sick to the stomach of the music they play. Like, say, "Meant To Live" or "Dare You To Move". I remember it was "the rage" and they played it every other song. Which made me almost want to murder the radio. Hm.

Anyway. Good stuff. :]
