ZEROpumpkins 03.14.2008 02:54 AM

Geen Day bought a whole lot of pop punk bands into the world. May they be damned.

like the ramones, buzzcocks....

ZEROpumpkins 03.14.2008 03:16 AM

Haha, I meant of Green Day's vintage. Ramons were responsible for loads of great punk bands of the late 80's, and Sonic Youth as well.

As for the Buzzcocks, I don't listen to them. Old school punk isn't my thing.

im not sure what qualifies as seminal but five 'classic' bands ive never seen the point of (much) are

1. ac/dc
2. soundgarden
3. led zeppelin
4. guns n roses
5. janes addiction

ZEROpumpkins 03.14.2008 04:25 AM

Oh yeah, ACDC.
Never dug them at all.
Jane's Addiction too but I don't see them as seminal.

Torn Curtain 03.14.2008 05:25 AM

AC/DC
Pavement
Battles (yes sorry I don't get heir music)
Red Hot Chili Peppers (but who seriously thinks they're great...)
Neutral Milk Hotel

Torn Curtain 03.14.2008 05:28 AM

I hate Bono but some of U2's music is actually amazing (Achtung Baby especially).

demonrail666 03.14.2008 07:26 AM

Seminal bands or not, I don't like the following at ALL:

1. AC/DC (God, does ANYONE here actually like them?)
2. Dinosaur Jnr (They were OK when Lou Barlow was in them, but after that they became a sort of Steppenwolf for the Converse generation)
3. Shellac (Boring, boring, boring, etc.)
4. Smashing Pumpkins (I've never knowingly listened to a single record they've made, but just by looking at them and reading their interviews I just know that they're rubbish.)
5. Nirvana (I know they meant a lot to some people, but I'll be buggered if I know why.)

Fair enough. And there was me being all deluded and thinking they were crap. You live and learn, as they say.

Toilet & Bowels 03.14.2008 08:25 AM

well, i'm not saying you're deluded, but you did ask if anyone actually likes them. personally i don't understand what's not to like.

demonrail666 03.14.2008 08:28 AM

I suppose I've just never 'got' them. I've tried a few times but, nope, nothing. Maybe its the vocals, which play a massive part in my inability to fully appreciate other bands, such as Led Zep.

nicfit 03.14.2008 08:32 AM

not really sure about the "seminal" thing, but I never liked:
Pearl Jam
+
some others already mentioned.
p.s. I kinda like ACDC too, they do what they're supposed to do imo.

dionysusundone 03.14.2008 08:42 AM

Take this list and swap Jane's for Metallica and you've got mine.

the buzzcocks, descendents, adolescents, the ramones, screeching weasel etc.. were all responsible for pop punk, so i don't know if you want to retract that statement or not.

Rob Instigator 03.14.2008 09:29 AM

1. the sex pistols
2. blondie

I have to disagree with this one, I really enjoy their music. However, each to their own.
