Ike Turner's guitar playing kicks the combined asses of Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Link Wray, et al. Extremely underrated. One of many examples. Real rockabilly feel to it: http://www.zshare.net/download/6194695761b04e5d/
My favorite guitar tone: Pop Staples of the Staples Singers on their really early records from the Vee-Jay label. (quality doesn't do it justice, but: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhtgZKC9tts) Especially on their version of Uncloudy Day. |
darryl hall and john oates are talented tunesmiths

^ that's not an unpopular musical opinion. closer to fact than anything.

Otis Redding does nothing to me. I don't get the praise, I much prefer Curtis Mayfield for instance.

I agree. |

Status Quo's best producer was themselves; Pip Williams' productions are a travesty. |
I'd kinda agree... fugazi has one great album (the argument). I think 13 songs is terrible.
|
13 songs is their only album that i still LOVE
it was one of those albums that changed everything for me. repeater is great as well. steady diet and red medicine arent as great. |
I love you, fugazifan.
I'm glad I never named my username after a band or album or anything.. ...Oh wait, I did! |
aw....shucks.....
and yeah, its a pretty shitty username (mine) but oh well... my charles gocher avatar makes up for it, at least i hope it does... |
It does.
|
I don't think 13 Songs is terrible, but it's certainly their weakest (yes, I even like SDoN better.)
|
I think every album they did was better than the one before it.
|
Bright Eyes is whiny shit for someone that is not in need of anything.
Elliot Smith's first album is the only one worth any count. Cat Power hasn't made good record since moon pix. ''Blame It'' by Jamie Fox is a good pop song. |
13 songs is the mother fcking shit people! yes it rules alklllll

^^^ Definitely.

This is by far the best band nu-metal ever spawned (though I dunno if I'd call 'em "numetal" necessarily):

james chance and the contortions suck.
lydia lunch annoys the shit out of me. i appreciate what no-wave was about but for the love of jesus LEARN TO PLAY YOUR FUCKING INSTRUMENTS. that goes for the shaggs too. |

As long as you like In On The Kill Taker, you're OK with me. Quote:
What about Deftones? |

yeah, isn't that one of the... uh... how to put this... fundamentals of no wave? not "knowing" how to play?

I think saying Lydia Lunch is shit is a POPULAR opinion.
Best thing she weaseled her way into was that bit she did with Roland S Howard, but I haven't listened to it in years. I never understand people who write endless panegyrics about her. I was browsing around once and came across this cute thing: http://fagcity.blogspot.com/2009/03/...dia-lunch.html And then there's this video where she fails to shut down some douchey chauvinist comedian: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lXUd7VxuSA |
Metallica > Sonic Youth
yup. |
Quote:
what i appreciate was that they did something really different and subversive, tearing shit up and all that...some of the guitaring actually sounds brilliant but i'm generally not a fan of too much no-wave these days maybe it's just lydia lunch. she's bloody off-putting. (i still like mars and DNA) |

this. |
I think Lydia has said a lot of intelligent stuff. Not a big fan of any of her music besides Teenage Jesus (which was probably the worst no wave band, though).
|
lydia lunch needs to stop talking about herself.
|
yeah exactly
just because you can play your instrument properly (i don't know what that means either..."with some degree of technical proficiency") doesn't mean you have to and if you can't play it at all there's only one thing you can do and that gets old real fast |
lydia lunch is the most predictable, boring person on the earth

I won't naMe any naMes, but that's my main criticism about one awful band in particular. |
"Marquee Moon" is a lousy album.
|
I wouldn't call it lousy. But boring? Yeah, definitely.
|
Ohh, I got a controversial one for you all:
Black Flag mostly sucks. Some good songs here or there and some weird, awesome riffs in a few songs aside.. most of their material blows. |
Oh man, Le Tigre are one of the worst bands ever.

Live Through This is a really great record, though I do think without a shadow of a doubt Kurt wrote that record (Or say 90% of it). ~Jeremy~ |
