Dude, you love Tool and NIN and badmouth the Beach Boys & The Boss and then write that you love James Taylor?

I can't stand James Taylor. That music has no balls. It's as bad as some jazz fusion...fucking elevator music.

Bob Dylan sucks? Look, you may not like Bob Dylan, and that's your own demented prerogative (and your own loss), but please, realize you make yourself look stupid when you write that "Bob Dylan sucks..."

Yeah, maybe you're someone that can't handle drugs.

I don't like John Zorn and Mike Patton.
I don't like the Stooges.
The Beach Boys were somewhat boring. I'm not a big fan of Bob Dylan neither.
Trout mask replica is a good album, but not a timeless masterpiece.
Blonde Redhead's last album is boring and uninteresting.
Faust's self-titled album was a masterpiece, but Faust so far is very poor imho.
I can't listen to Borbetomagus and Diamanda Galas.
Recent Autechre albums are better than early ones.
Grateful Dead are overrated.

Flog me.

ALIEN ANAL · 05.01.2007, 10:09 AM

i dont dig mike patton either, cant stand his voice.

05.01.2007, 10:16 AM

Aphex Twin is overrated. He hasn't put out half a decent record in years, but some people still talk about him like he's some sort of Mozart. Besides, Raymond Scott or Pierre Henry did some of that electronic stuff better than him and way before him.

The Heads
Electric Wizard

There's probably more, but my brain can't remember much else right now.

Good call on The Heads. I hadn't heard of them and my friend played me one of their records the other day and it was pretty damn good.

05.01.2007, 10:39 AM

Awesome. Smelly, do you have this one? It kicks butt.

sonicl · 05.01.2007, 10:46 AM

Thanks, Pork, I can't see any more.

MellySingsDoom · 05.01.2007, 10:49 AM

sarramkrop - I don't have that, but damn, that's a sho nuff funky cover. Looks like another one to add to the wants list.

05.01.2007, 11:02 AM

Let me know if you want me to up it.

MellySingsDoom · 05.01.2007, 11:14 AM

If you can, that would be much appreciated.

I love most things that The Ramones have made, have throughout my life and feel I will still listen to them a lot every so often until I die.

Most electro-punk/punk-funk we have around is abysmal art faggotry and I hope their radio shows are taken off the air and their art galleries burnt down.

leys forget that you said that mr bungle suck and motzart is overatwed. its all moot because you said that the smiths, can, zorn are underatted. now dont get me wrong i love all of those bands (especially can and zorn, very very much) but underated?
ther smityhs have sold millions of records, can i can understand. but zorn. he wonm the mackarthur genious award last year. doesnt that make you "rated"
hjow much more rated can you be that to be awarded 100 grand for five years, simply to continue to be a genious?

pbradley · 05.01.2007, 12:21 PM

And saying the Butthole Surfers are overrated is a difficult claim considering how early material is the only stuff worth really mentioning. Do you mean the early albums? Or are you saying the band's whole career? Because if it is the latter, I'm sure a lot of people will agree.

Mr. Bungle I'd liken to spending an eternity in a "special" class with kids who spend their breaks spinning around in circles watching the mittens attatched to their jackets going round and round.

The Smiths are one of those bands that are so ace that they're aceness is independent of however many mere humans love them.

Yes, John Zorn has been recognised as a genius which is something that was bound to happen. This doesn't stop him from being far too underappreciated and underlistened. 11 year olds should be making Zorn #1 in the charts.

And for the love of merciless God, why can't you spell?

Good call on This Heat, C93, Kayo Dot and Toby Driver.
Can are great and underlistened but not underrated being widely hailed as a great and influential band by rock critics.

Cardinal Rob · 05.01.2007, 02:33 PM

I must say for this case CAN and Pink Floyd's positions on the -rated scale must be switched, except Pink Floyd have a reasonable amount hate at their position, which CAN of course should never have. Yes though, us smart ones do put CAN where they deserve it.

And liking Kayo Dot too! I bid thee the best of days!

Apologies. I got confused with the covers of the albums (as you can see they like orange and red on their artwork), so i've thought that that was the album by The Heads in my possesion. After nearly dropping a big pile of cds on me, i've found it and here it is. It's called 'Under Sided' and it's on Sweet Nothing.I couldn't find the image on google , so i've scanned it. If you don't have it, i'll up it:
