-nirvana sucks
-i love neutral milk hotel, i don't care if most everyone else do too
-lavender diamond i like a lot because, while being quite typical in their music, they do very well written and arranged yet simple songs.
-i seldom listen to the lyrics in any band and definitely don't play a big role in my liking of music.

Courtney Love had some talent, there I said it.

Balls

:oyeh...im with you on this

Whoah that's crazy you said that. I got that album today, and that was the first song I listened to! It's a great song, I love the dual vocals at the start.

Bossanova sucks, and is one of my least favourite albums. I like Veloria though.

Trompe le Monde, on the other hand, rules.

I like Oasis and Blur and Incubus, but not their later stuff.

Sorry about the double post.

Blur are better than Oasis. Oasis are a boring working class band with a handful of ideas and a mouth to sell them, but not much more than that.

Dolphins are overrated singers. They only get good press because they smile all the time like idiotic creatures.

Sarramkrop - you're just dissing dolphins cos they turned you down once for sex.

Yeah, but you're only saying that because your canary is crap at doing backing vocals for your band. Dolphins make for shite groupies, anyway.

no way are blur better than oasis

I told you, I'll lend you the canary in 2 weeks. Sheesh!

Way, way. Oasis have only one good album to their name (Definitely Maybe).

I have always been a big fan of Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine and it most likely will remain like that :)

i wouldn't even go that far, i'd say they've only got about 6 or 7 good songs, but that's still more than blur

No way. The good song ratio is higher for Blur than it is for Oasis.

well i guess i add this now

i dig the arctic monkeys

off the top of my head i can only think of one good blur song (there's no other way), although, i should admit i've never heard any of the songs from modern life is rubbish

I've alway found Oasis a completely indifferent band, and ditto Blur, until they went into their mockney phase. I could kill them all for foisting "Country House" on the world.

This



was actually in my personal heavy rotation when it came out. Anyway, I'll play it tonight too. ;-)

You're just being controversial.

Edit - Toilet & Bowels

i can't help it if my opinions on the blur oasis divide can still whip up a frenzy a good 11 years after the issue was laid to rest

Of course they do.

Dinosaur Jr only made one good album.

The Stooges are, and always were, rubbish.

i didnt really like either blur or oasis to be honest. not because i want to be uber cool and was listening to something else i just really never bothered with them. if i had to choose then blur are better. i liked beatlebum.

Thurston Moore should leave Sonic Youth for a while, just like Ringo Starr threatened to do with The Beatles (and did for a brief period,i think). The only difference is that he should stay away for longer because he's become a bit of an annoying Sonic Youth member.

honestly?

Don't stop there, though. Let them all take one big leave of absence. It could do them a world of good. Granted, Thurston is easily the most annoying.

yeah, he is the most annoying, which is sad because he used to be the best member too.

what makes him annoying?

yeah, what gives with the last few threads?

the shitty poetry, the fact that he seems to dominate the band these days in terms of song writing, his pretentiousness in interviews...

Oooooooo so thats who you guys take after..makes sense now :P

i've never written any shitty poetry!

He also seems to write the same song over and over again. I listened to one of his new ones on that video that someone posted on that thread about his solo performance, and i could almost hear where the song was going next without even knowing it. He should have a go at retirement for a while.

hmmm...maybe. But I still think he's a legend!

I think the guy is fun, not to be taken too seriously. But I love much more lee and steve.

Yeah, but being considered a legend doesn't help you write good songs.

Jon Spencer is not the King Of Cool.

It really is beyond terrible.

But I can't really say that I'm a huge fan of Sonic Youth lyrics either. A lot of their songs would be so much better if they were kept as instrumentals.
