batreleaser: parliament-Funkadelic but no sly & the family stone?

atsonicpark: polysics but no devo?

really?

my answer: I.R.S.-era R.E.M.

With a little help from their artist friends like Jim Herbert and the Reverend Howard Finster, they established their own image. A lasting legacy was thus created that successfully avoided the preening pitfalls of the MTV eighties hit-making machine.

Asobi Seksu
 

 

batreleaser 07.15.2008 08:35 PM

asobi seksu looks like youre avrage indie couple. pretentious, boring, and trying too hard, i really dont see what you could find interesting about that at all. a dress on the girl, and a blazer on the guy.

Sonic Youth 37 07.15.2008 08:36 PM

I guess it's their whole vibe. Their albums don't look like anything that comes out today and the music is totally different.

I don't think he's that well-liked around here, but you can't deny Elvis Costello looked awesome:

props on the cramps and the damned and devo of course but i can't see how the metal bands you listed have a good look. they look like every other metal band to me.

Why on earth people think that Devo ever looked good? They look like twats.

This type of shit I find extremely naff.

atsonicpark 07.16.2008 04:24 AM

atari, as I said, i was going to put up a pic of devo but can beat me to it.

atsonicpark 07.16.2008 04:26 AM

Also, dir en grey isn't even that extreme looking compared to some visual kei bands.......

acousticrock87 07.16.2008 04:44 AM

Well they haven't been visual kei in quite a while, but they've always had a normal side. They're pretty comfortable about stepping in and out of their masks, which is one of the reasons I like their image.

Also, they're the only visual kei band that I like musically. That helps.
