Do you like Cake?

I like Cake.

I think the rhythm section is proper, and their restrained use of brass is acceptable to me.

They have a very distinctive sound. Driving beat. Gets inside and cranks things up a bit.

A lot of people don't like the guy's lazy/talky/rappy/singy style, but after I heard the bass I never noticed it again.

I like the sound, but a lot of their stuff, well, sounds the same.

Maybe they have stuff that doesn't sound like the "Typical Cake Sound" but I haven't heard it. Or I have heard it and didn't realise that it was Cake because it didn't have the Typical Cake Sound.

The cake is a lie.

Oh yes, love Cake. Little Griff is working on "Guitar".

There are some odd covers out there Zen that don't have the Cake sound but I prefer the sameness because its a lot different than everybody elses sameness. I love the humorous spirit of their stuff.

I am disappointed in this thread. I thought there would be cake.

Haggis, despite (or because of) knowing exactly what you mean and agreeing entirely.

jinx said they sound like a rip off of the butthole surfers.

this came before Cake.....sounds like Beck might have been influenced by these guys just a little bit.

Best live show I've ever been to.

Cake....or death.

I'll take Cake thank you very much.

I'm not sure if the Chuck theme song is performed by Cake or just a rip off of Cake, but it's all Cake.

It's real Cake--the main theme from "Short Skirt, Long Jacket."
