TVotR are okay. There's worse things in the indie canon like Joanna Newsom, but she's pretty much dead at this point, no?

Decayed Rhapsody 06.21.2009 09:36 PM

What's even weirder is that Steve Albini digs her. I think she's alright, never got why so many people are afraid of her.

automatic bzooty 06.22.2009 01:23 AM

tvotr is okay. they have a couple decent songs, anyway. that one with bowie is good. the tribute to howlin' wolf is good. "golden age" is a class-a jam, nothing more, nothing less.

Newfoundland 06.22.2009 07:36 AM

I still love Deftones. THe only one I didn't like was self-titled.

loubarret 06.22.2009 12:31 PM

I still do love them also, their latest is underated. The selftiteld was a let down but yeah, one averge album out of 5 isn't to bad.

That and Nevermind are about 50/50, so while generally gets talked about more (Because it came first and had Smells Like Teen Spirit), they're generally divided.

Like you, I prefer In Utero myself.

Kind of agreed.
I bought Dear Science due to all the hype and just could not fucking get into it.

loubarret 06.22.2009 01:22 PM

I never bought it, but listend to it and felt the same as with return to cookie mountian. It just doesn't do it for me.

SuperCreep 06.22.2009 01:35 PM

The Who's pre-Tommy material is better than the bloated cock-rock that came after, but even then, it's still kinda meh. The Kinks whip their ass.

loubarret 06.22.2009 02:12 PM

I adore tommy and the who next but also they pre-matarial. The Kinks are great as well.

Newfoundland 06.22.2009 04:11 PM

Daydream Nation is one of my least favorite SY records. At my bottom 4 list somewhere.

Rob Instigator 06.22.2009 04:21 PM

TV OTR have AMAZING live shows though

amazing

Rob Instigator 06.22.2009 04:21 PM

FUCK The Who

I dunno, someone else said they didn't like it I think.

Oh and Joanna IS great.

And most of loubarrett's list isn't that unpopular.

summer 06.22.2009 11:53 PM

To use an overused cliche.. I am awaiting Joanna Newsom's next album with bated breath, eager anticipation, etc etc <3 her. It took a while to get used to her voice, but once I did, I loved it.

Here's one that I doubt anyone but myself on this board will agree with: Incubus is one of the best band of this decade =D (okay their last album kind of sucked, but Make Yourself, Morning View, and A Crow Left of the Murder are all great)

Also, the following bands suck to incomprehensible amounts:
The Smiths (big time)
The Arcade Fire (a little less so, but still big time suckage)
R.E.M. (blahhhbalhhhbalhhrahhh im michael stipe blahhhh)

dionysusundone 06.23.2009 12:11 AM

I've always thought Arcade Fire were INSANELY over-rated. I guess the first record's OK but the second one? Most boring piece of shit I've ever heard. When I worked at Border's we played that record at least ten times a day and I STILL can't remember how any song other than My body is a cage goes.

automatic bzooty 06.23.2009 12:48 AM

the smiths are so boring. i don't get the moz/marr worship. they have a few (emphasis on few) good songs, but loads of generic or downright awful ones, too.

won't get fooled again is awesome. i don't really listen to the who anymore, especially not their arena RAWK stuff, but that song still grabs me by the metaphorical balls and kicks my ass all over town. yeah. all the build ups, break downs, little explosions on that track... fantastic.
