CCR are great, and CPR is therefore the greatest medical procedure ever to be performed.

Little Feat don't exist.

If you can't dig Minutemen's "Shit From An Old Notebook," you don't dig.

There are sacred things-your ears just haven't heard them yet-

The VU are not the greatest rocknroll band of all time.
I thought VU were good,cool out there and yes they were-then I heard
Fire of Love-and it blows all that velvet underground school of rock ,class project rock band stuff -away.

this should be in the unpopular thread...

Funny how you say there are sacred things but go and post one of most disageed opinions in the thread.

ZEROpumpkins · 10.07.2007, 11:29 PM

Yeah, but I think it's generally accepted that VU aren't the best rock band. They are certainly good, but not the best.

Ok Computer really is that good

And when the critics got on at Kid A at the time it was released they were so fecking wrong (this made me mistrust music critics from a young age - a skill many should learn) and now everyone has re-evaluated it as a work of genius which they should have realised at the time.

Amen.

Popular opinion: The Clash are the classic UK punk band.
My opinion: The Clash are a big bunch of meh.

alyasa · 10.08.2007, 06:04 PM

Television, especially Marquee Moon, is an obvious influence on Rather Ripped.

pbradley · 10.08.2007, 06:24 PM

Pussy Galore is the best driving music.

ZEROpumpkins · 10.09.2007, 01:27 AM

Silver is the worst Pixies song and it appears on the best Pixies album.
Gigantic is the best Pixies song w/ Kim on vocals.

alyasa · 10.09.2007, 02:15 AM

Jim O' Rourke is much better as a solo artist, than as a member of Sonic Youth.

ZEROpumpkins · 10.09.2007, 02:28 AM

I think that one has been said a bit in this thread haha. Having Jim in SY didn't hurt though.

Yes, they're seen as the most influential rock band (in the sense of prompting band formations), not as the best.

Torn Curtain · 10.09.2007, 09:17 AM

Marquee Moon is really great (and one of the best NY and 70s albums).

I wholeheartedly agree with this.

10.09.2007, 09:28 AM

That's disputable. I don't think that the best music comes necessarily from people who come from shitholes, especially because certain fringes of the creative working classes take it almost for granted that their suffering is going to automatically make them better artists, or artists who know better about their plight than someone from a more privileged background. Shitholes also produce a great amount of shit music.

pbradley · 10.10.2007, 12:16 AM

I don't believe that creativity can be put into a formula, no matter how many "more likelys" you stick in there.
