Ben Folds was born in North Carolina (contrary to other definitions) and has been creating (and performing on piano) original music since his first single, Jackson Cannery with Ben Folds Five. During his span in the late nineties, he released three albums (where he popularized his use of percussion with the piano) with his band Ben Folds Five, a trio, featuring Robert Sledge, Darren Jessee, and himself. His most popular song, on the album Whatever and Ever Amen, was Brick. The band broke up after their third album (The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner), and that is when he released his first solo album, Rockin' the Suburbs, featuring him on drums, guitar, bass, and piano. During his break from the Ben Folds Five, he played with a group called the Bens, where he played with Ben Kweller and Ben Lee. From there he composed his next albums, Supersunnyspeedgraphics LP, Songs for Silverman and Way to Normal, which seemed subpar to many Ben Folds fans. He keeps creating music, and is most widely known for his improv stint on Chatroulette and his comedic Dr Dre cover of Bitches Ain't Shit. He is often criticized for his lack of vibrato and pitchy voice.

When you think that you want to cheat on your girlfriend, and then right as you are about to have sex you decide to change your mind because you feel guily, which is a great time to get a guilty conscience. This is called a fold, it relates to poker because when you go ALL IN you can't fold.
1. when you want to fight someone and you can't back up your words. thats a benfold.
2. when you decide that you're only gonna sorta cheat on your girlfriend.

An amazing NC band consisting of a piano, bass, and drums line up. Led by the front man Ben Folds on the piano, they shot into stardom with their hit "Brick" in 1997. They have recieved a large amount of popularity since then. They broke up in 2000 but their music lives on.
Bascially, they make the best piano rock you'll ever hear.

An emo singer who sings and plays the piano at the same time. Has a voice about as high pitched as a 6 year old, and sounds like he is crying each song he sings. None of his songs are something you would want to listen to, unless you enjoy hearing some guy moan and wail about some girl over and over. Takes the spotlight away from real musical artists such as Ludacris and Kanye West.
David: OMFG BEN FOLDS IS AWESOME HE SINGS GOOD SONGS!
Me: You must enjoy listening to pots and pans fall down the stairs because that is the equivalent of his music.
David: AHH HIS MUSIC MAKES ME SO DEPRESSED IM GOING TO GO CUT MYSELF SINCE HE IS SO RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!
