perhaps this has already been covered, but: steve albini's agreement to record bush's razorblade suitcase, saying he honestly thought they could play.

i don't think that was too popular on either side of the fence.

Bands i like, but i don't think many on here do...:

Sultans of ping f.c.
Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine
Howling Bells
Unwound
MC Solaar

Over-rated bands/artists:
Yo La Tengo
Nirvana (they're not that fucking great, surely?)
quintessentially, O-fucking-asis!

Also, i find i like the idea of Leonard Cohen, but can hardly listen to 90% of his stuff...

Queen is a good band.

Yes!

I Looked up your number in my address pad

Best. Song. Ever.

I only have the double live LP, Le Tour de la Question. I love it. That second version of Les temps changent finishes the thing off perfectly.

Also, I love sea shanties.

The Beta Band sound like C-grade Beck songs. Except for a couple.

Not sure if that's an unpopular opion though.

Van Morrison bores me to tears.

80's Clash sucked.
Trompe Le Monde kicked the living shit out of Bossanova, which I believe is a really weak album.
Moby's Play is a good album
Warehouse songs and stories bored me.

Wait... I dont get this thread. Are you posting your musical opinions or do you jsut post crappy random ones?

I've said this before, probably on this thread, and I'll say it again.

Fugazi are boooooorrriiinnnng.

Slint's Spiderland kind of bores me. I prefer The For Carnation.

That's the popular opinion. Mine is the unpopular opinion, The Clash's 80s output was fantastic.


I never got Slint. A poor man's Big Black.

slint aren't anything like big black!


70s or 80s it makes no difference, everything the clash did was total rubbish.

I prefer Squirrel Bait than Slint. Perhaps Pookie is thinking about them, when he compares them to Big Black.

The Walkabouts might have made their fair share of crap records, but they still remain underrated.

No, I'm thinking about Slint.

Bollocks.

By the way, I'll send your 7"s tomorrow. I couldn't carry them everybody's to work in one go, so I'm doing them a bit at a time.

I heard of them, but not heard them - any recommendations?

i dont really like slint, never really liked fugazi. i loved brothers in arms by dire straights.
