Has anyone heard of the band fun.? I am a major fan of that band and listen to all their songs every day, much to the annoyance of my family. You should listen to them because they are amazing!
Fun. is a fantastic band.

I've only heard two songs (well one and a half really). The person who was playing one of them on their computer stopped it halfway because it had a really bad cuss word in it.

I know what song you are talking about, that's the only cuss word in the whole song.
Fun. is a fantastic band.

I've only heard the song Some Nights, as far as I know.  I like it, except for that bit that is all autotuned; that sound just grates at me.   Apart from that bit, it's okay.

SOME NIGHTS I STAY UP CASHING IN MY BAD LUCK,
SOME NIGHTS I CALL IT A DRAW.
SOME NIGHTS I WISH THAT MY LIPS COULD BUILD A CASTLE,
SOME NIGHTS I WISH THEY'd JUST FALL OFF.

Love that song!

I absolutely love their song We are young with Janelle Monae. I downloaded that song on my ipad :)

I love this part:

Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)

The moon is on my side (Nananananana)
I have no reason to run (Nananananana)
So will someone come and carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
The angels never arrived (Nananananana)
But I can hear the choir (Nananananana)
So will someone come and carry me home (Nananananana)

Yeah their music is just plain awesome and inspiring.
Fun. is a fantastic band.

Some Nights is the song I was talking about. I like We Are Young, though

Dawnwing

Oh, I know We Are Young as well; that one's good too.
'Course, whenever I hear it now, it reminds me of a parody I heard protesting the US government's policy for tiny school lunches.  xD

I like Fun. My favorite song of theirs is "We Are Young", but I also like "Carry On" and "Some Nights" (the radio-edit version, though). In my opinion, they were the best new band of 2012.

I like fun., unfortunately they're on hiatus. We Are Young and Some Nights are the best from them IMO. Then Sight of the Sun and Carry On. Has anyone heard any songs from Jack Antoff's Bleachers band, or Nate Ruess's solo songs? They're really good too.

I love Fun., so I was really excited to see this topic; I'd never known it existed.  I like the entire album Some Nights.  It's clever: every song on the album either uses the lyrics "some nights" or includes the night theme.  Try branching out beyond the most popular 3 songs, because there are better songs on the album.  "Some Nights" is still a favourite, as is "Out on the Town" and "Why am I the One."  "The Gambler," off of their 2009 album Aim and Ignite is bittersweet and beautiful.

You know? I actually THOUGHT I knew about this band, but I got it mixed up with another one called "Fun People", but anyway... I'm listening to some of the songs that you guys listed here and I gotta say that I'm really liking what I'm hearing (granted, I won't listen to every song by this band, but still).

They did a song with Panic! At the Disco called C'mon which is amazing so I guess I should start listening to them

I like Nate Ruess a lot. I first heard We Are Young from this:


And Some Nights from this:

Everything else I heard through Pandora and iTunes Radio (my pre-Spotify days).
