Pavement

Kak (60s west coast psych, very good, totally accessible)

SYRFox · 11.27.2006, 03:47 PM

EDIT: that was stupid

Inhuman · 11.27.2006, 04:54 PM

Clipse, but they still may. Produced by the neptunes, so I would assume they will sooner or later

Savage Clone · 11.27.2006, 04:57 PM

Pentagram should have been huge in the mid 70s-early 80s.

oooh! pentagram! poor guys...

i was outside their last concert buying tickets. when i heard it was them i opted to say outside. and a good thing it was, aesthetic reasons aside/; the guy apparently was taken away in an ambulance.

You music taste really knows no fear, does it?

Urusei Yatsura and Stony Sleep would've been enormous if they came out about 5 years after they did. In fact, there was a load of bands that weren't britpop bands that should've been huge over here. It always surprised me that Gene weren't bigger. I know lots of people hate them, but I think they're as good as a lot of things. Certainly more appealing to me than Suede, who had a better image but, to my mind, not the tunes. "The Britpop sins of Glice, episode 1".

I tell you what, shall I say MBV ironically so that everyone can have fun calling me a cunt?

MBV should've been bigger.

How could Pentagram not have been a good candidate for arena-rock success in the 70s and early 80s? Loud as shit, evil, not good-looking, heavy riffage? They were better than Dio Sabbath for sure.

Glice · 11.27.2006, 05:19 PM

Helen Love! Fucking Helen Love. In a just world they'd be where Oasis are now. And Bis. FUCK OFF. I like Bis.

porkmarras · 11.27.2006, 05:21 PM

Gene bigger than Suede?Someone is just being contrary.

Savage Clone · 11.27.2006, 05:22 PM

Glice, I didn't know you liked such cutesy music.

Glice · 11.27.2006, 05:22 PM

I learnt to be contrary from the best, sweety.

I LIKE GENE. Is that such a crime?

It's not cutesy. There's the beating black heart of a goth underneath Helen Love's oh-so-indie exterior.

Or, alternately, I was 14 once, and I'm not going to pretend I don't still have a little 14 year old in me [insert pederast inference].

Yeah, well one can be goth and cutesy at the same time. I give you this "Autumn" comic as proof. This is a fine comic series, by the way.
