AC/DC
Smashing Pumpkins

Bands that are bad/ ok/ good but whose influence is vastly overplayed (this applies mainly to this board):

1. Sonic Youth
2. My Bloody Valentine
3. Jesus and Mary Chain
4. The Pixies
5. Dinosaur [Jr]

Bands whose influence entirely mystifies me:

1. The Beatles
2. Dame Dave
3. G!YBE
4. The Doors
5. Pavement

jesus and mary chain?

i've seen the talking heads, radiohead, the stones, zeppelin, etc in this thread, and...
good lord, you people have your priorities all fucked up. it doesn't have to be arty or poetic to be deliciously GOOD music. it can just be fun.

however i understand the hate for RHCP. they just suck.

Glice · 03.14.2008, 10:46 AM

RHCP seminal though? Aren't they just the most prevalent example of a very shit form of music?

✌➬ · 03.14.2008, 10:47 AM

Isn't the term "seminal" by itself subjective?

So bands like RHCP can fall into this list.

Rob Instigator · 03.14.2008, 10:57 AM

the first 4 RHCP albums are fucking amazing good

just because funk ain't "cool" no more....

Rob Instigator · 03.14.2008, 10:58 AM

I got some "seminal" shit right here in my hand, there it is!

2. sioxie and the banshees
to my ears JuJu is still a fantastic psychedelic pop album. "Nightshift" is just drenched in layers of thick rich syrupy guitar. wouldn't want to hear anything after that lp though.

4. the talking heads (except remain in light)
I'd argue they were pretty much great through Remain in LIght. But then they sucked. and david bernie really sucked.

SuperCreep · 03.14.2008, 11:29 AM

There's a handful of "seminal bands" that I despise. I'm just going to limit it down to five that I find absolutely no worth in. Some of the bands I was thinking about listing before I actually do like a few songs by.

1. Dream Theater
2. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
3. Aerosmith
4. GnR
5. Slayer

Rob Instigator · 03.14.2008, 11:44 AM

I fucking HATE aerosmith

it depends what era of james brown you're talking about really, but the 70s stuff in funk for sure.

anywayz, some people probably need to read this:

Seminal

1.pertaining to, containing, or consisting of semen. 2.Botany. of or pertaining to seed. 3.having possibilities of future development. 4.highly original and influencing the development of future events: a seminal artist; seminal ideas.

davenotdead · 03.14.2008, 01:31 PM

gnR

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 03.14.2008, 01:40 PM

1 Led Zeppelin
2 Beatles
3 Morrisey
4 Smashing Pumpkins
5 Metallica
