First off, one chart ain't gonna cut it. I'll admit that Fray sucks but they still have a claim to fame. Flobots? HACKS? Damn your taste is music is lacking...sure not all of their stuff is awesome but they definitely have some good, quality music (much better than Fray). If you don't know who the '303 Boyz' are and why THEY are famous then why don't you pull your head out ur azz and pay attention to what tends to fly around the internet. You'll find quite a nationwide following about them. Their influence in other areas astonished me (from Texas to Nebraska and all the way to Seattle and Florida).
And if you wanna talk cars then I'd bet that my car smokes yours like a cigarette.
And I looked up your little reference band...and wow if that's your kind of music...man are you really in a position to NOT say anything. Indie died quite a while ago. Funny though that there's a punk band with a very similar name from NYC given the circumstance...
But really I think I'm done with you before this becomes personal. Because apparently you don't know jack about what pop culture music really is (and honestly I don't like pop culture music, but at least I still know what it is).
Wow! Your putting the Frey, Flobots, and 303 Boys (BTW, no one listens to 303 Boys in Texas) against the New York scene which includes TV on the Radio, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Animal Collective (although they're originally from Baltimore), Grizzly Bear, Yeasayer, Vampire Weekend, MGMT, Sufjan Stevens (he's based out of Brooklyn now), and the list goes on and on and on. I mean, how delusional do you have to be to try and put Denver's scene up against New York.

I wasn't then, I was simply trying to make my point that Denver's music scene doesn't suck.
BTW and FYI, when I was in Plano last year at one of the malls I saw a group of people (roughly 10 strong) all standing outside, blasting Don't Trust Me, and all wearing 3OH!3 t-shirts.

lol! I don't know that I would be bragging that Denver's claim to fame hip hop band is big in Plano. It doesn't get much more suburban than Plano. Besides, I've never lived in Plano. I've lived in Houston, Austin, Abilene (out in west Texas), and outside of Galveston. No one I've met talks about 3OH!3. They're really not big here. I did check them out just out of curiosity. They're a pretty goofy cliche Hip-Hop band. That kind of music may fly in Plano, but it wouldn't in places like Austin, Houston, San Marcus, or Denton. I'm kind of in agreement with Blackout. You haven't mentioned a good group from Denver yet.
Bigger isn't always better, I've never been to Denver so I can't come to a decision.
You're right. Bigger isn't always better and in the end it does come down to personal preference. Some people such as myself are perfectly happy living in a metro area the size of Denver because it is big enough to have all the amenities. NYC, on the other hand, has everything and more and can be overwhelming.
Within the U.S. NYC is in a league of its own while Denver is on par with several other cities/metros (i.e. Minneapolis, San Diego, Seattle, Pittsburgh, etc...).

3OH!3 claim Boulder, not Denver. Why is this?
BTW, the fact that you hang out at malls in Plano, TX explains a lot.

I guarantee I know a lot more about music than you do my friend as I do some work in the industry. The Flobots are trying to do what Public Enemy and Rage Against the Machine were doing years ago. They are also trying to be as innovative as the Roots. The only difference is that Public Enemy, Rage Against the Machine, and the Roots are 10x better. I will agree with you, however, in that they are better than the Fray . As far as the 303 Boyz are concerned, I am right in saying that they aren't known. They aren't on the national stage and they are hardly known in Denver. Heck, anyone who is into hip-hop in Denver is listening to groups like Atmosphere, Brother Ali, P.O.S., etc...

Seriously? No I don't want to discuss cars! How old are you anyway? I'm guessing 16, maybe 17.

I stated Devotchka is the only current band out of Denver I like (because they are more original than the bands you've listed). It doesn't mean I sit at home and listen to them everyday. The fact is Eon-krate you're one of those people who wouldn't know real music (especially punk and hip-hop) if it hit you in the a$$.

Go ahead and get personal. It will just give me and everyone else more reason to laugh at you.

Wow. That's all I can say. You were the one who didn't know who Run-DMC was, and now you're going to pretend like you're up on popular music? GTFOH. Seriously, GTFOH.
Underrated culture and restaurants there and the Rocky Mountains are in the backyard. Being a higher level mtn and rock climber some of my favorites in America are within several hours of Denver
Longs Peak East face "the casual route" (some locals up there might know what I am talking about)

No kidding. I lived in Denver and obviously know more about the place than you do.
