it's bootyful.

Oh yeah, MBV are beyond overrated. Some of their EP's have some good songs, Loveless is like half of a good record, but up until they did the YMMR EP they were just awful.

Isn't Anything is a great record, though, which unfortunately is always overshadowed by Loveless.

Agreed 100%. Loveless has like 3 or 4 great songs. Isn't Anything is way better in every way a record can be better. They're a pretty shitty band, all things considered. They have made way more boring, bland, awful songs than good ones.

Rage Against the Machine is one of the most hilarious fucking bands ever.

- Derek Bailey is a better guitar player than Jimi Hendrix.

- Jandek is more of a folk hero than Bob Dylan.

Trees is filled with very well written songs, sounds fantastic, and the guitars, though mostly acoustic, still manage to sound like Thurston.



I'm pretty sure we're almost all in agreement that TREES is better than PH. No?

SuperCreep 06.17.2009 01:13 PM

Yeah, Psychic Hearts blows. One of the most generic albums I've ever heard.

I don't know about that, but he's certainly a hell of a lot more consistent and interesting than Bob Dylan (and I love Dylan.)

I love The Whitey Album. All of it, I think it's one of their most underrated works.

Last night I drank so much it feels like I'm pissing it out of my pours, and I think I'm still drunk. Why do I look forward all week to feel like I fell off a bike going downhill. My spine feels like it's being played like a xylophone

I've never listened to a Yes album, but I remember really liking one of their songs that I had heard on the radio. I think it could have been a single. If this gives you hint, please suggest what the song might have been 'cause I wouldn't mind hearing it again.

SuperCreep 06.21.2009 03:59 PM

Was it any of these?

Those are the top three Yes songs that I hear on the radio anyway.

Agreed 1000000000%.

uhler 06.21.2009 07:01 PM

i really like old green day and rancid.

i don't like animal collective.

Newfoundland 06.21.2009 07:24 PM

I HATE "grunge". SY and Nirvana has absolutely nothing to do with those other horrible bands.

Im into prog rock like Van Der Graaf Generator, Genesis, Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso etc. etc.

I like 10CC and Supertramp.

I like Beyonce.

I dont like Hendrix.

I dont like Tv On The Radio at all.

atsonicpark 06.21.2009 07:26 PM

I didn't know anyone liked TV on the Radio. Now I'm sad. THey suck.

Newfoundland 06.21.2009 07:27 PM

Yes!

Me too.
Still, I guess it's popular around here!?
(but the lack of noisy guitar may be a bit surprising/confusing)
