Well, I just heard Auf der Maur's song "Followed the Waves," and I'm pretty impressed. The music's pretty catchy, and this lady can rock out.

I hear she's pretty big in Europe, so I assumed that at least some of you guys have heard of her. So, any fans?

What kind of catchy are we talking about here?

Not poppy catchy.

Shes pretty cool, her album isn't as good as I had hoped, but it beat the living shit out of Courtney Love's. 'Followed the Waves' is a cool song as is 'Real A Lie,' but there is some filler on the album.

Yeah, what Minotaur said. Not catchy like pop music, but still catchy enough to get stuck in my head.

My mate bought her album. I found it okay, just a bit boring. It melded into the background and I didn't really notice it. I wouldn't buy it myself, but if somebody put it on in the car or whatever, I wouldn't voice any complaints.

Also: was it her that used to play in The Smashing Pumpkins? Or am I just making this shit up?

Yeah she did, when D'arcy left TSP, Melissa Auf Der Maur took over but only for one album before they split-up. She was in Hole as well.

Meh. In my opinion the "pop" kind of catchy is the only kind there is. This isn't really catchy at all. =\

haha no. X_X

You can be catchy like The Ramones or you can be catchy like the Backstreet Boys or a million other things, but I can't think of anything that has absolutely no pop in it that I would really describe as catchy.

Besides, I don't think I sounded like "FOOLS!" at all. =\

I'm not really a huge fan of her. I can't pinpoint anything I don't like about her, but her songs don't grab me, I guess. Evidence she lacks this thing called "catchy".

I think she's quite pretty though.
