Has anyone ever heard of morphine?

hookman · 01.06.2008, 01:02 PM

My step dad used to be really into zappa, he bought all of his records and stuff. One day he bought me a morphine album because it was on rykodisc; the same label as zappa, i instantly took a likening to them.

There were kinda bluesy alternative rock band around from 1989 to 1999, when Mark sandman the singer and two string bass player unfortunately died of a heart attack.

Are there any sonic youth fans who listen to morphine?

█████████ · 01.06.2008, 01:06 PM

yes, i've listened to them.

hookman · 01.06.2008, 01:07 PM

what stuff have you heard?

HaydenAsche · 01.06.2008, 01:08 PM

Morphine is the bomb.

█████████ · 01.06.2008, 01:09 PM

good, cure for pain, yes & the night

01.06.2008, 01:16 PM

Yes, I have heard of them. Most apt name for a band ever.

hookman · 01.06.2008, 01:16 PM

cool, do you have them? what was your favourite?

01.06.2008, 01:17 PM

None.

Rob likes 'em.

I don't devote any time to Morphine, and I'm someone that even likes horns a whole lot when done well. Their songs don't do much for me.

█████████ · 01.06.2008, 01:32 PM

my favourite is good, i have it on cd.

StevOK · 01.06.2008, 01:47 PM

I have their album Like Swimming. It's good. My favorite is "French Fries With Pepper".

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 01.06.2008, 03:35 PM

I'm not super into them because they don't have walls of fuzzed out guitar and crashing drums, but they are pretty "chill."

The album Good is good.

avantgarde1 · 01.06.2008, 07:24 PM

buy everything they have out, cept for the live album that came out after he died, it sucks. one of my top 5 fav bands of all time.

terminal pharmacy · 01.06.2008, 08:01 PM

i have a goodly amount of their disks, mostly good, some crap, i havent bought any post death disks though and probably never will, if they released any.

batreleaser · 01.06.2008, 08:55 PM

i used to shoot it when i couldnt get smack

atsonicpark · 01.06.2008, 09:02 PM

the drug is pretty good.

the band gets annoying but is interesting.

therealglenstyler · 01.07.2008, 05:01 AM

I like em. like swimming is my fave,

Rob Instigator · 01.07.2008, 10:09 AM

Morphine is and was one of my favorite bands.
Cure For pain, like Swimming, Yes, all sorts of great shit

Mark Sandman (RIP) called morphine LOW-ROCK

No guitars, two string slide bass, guy playing two saxophones at once. great fucking drummer.

Their music is fucking amazing. wholly original and noone can touch them.

plus they were older than the average band when they began so they sang about much more subtle shit than the typical cliches.

I'd rather inject bleach into my eyeballs than listening to Morphine ever again.

Rob Instigator · 01.07.2008, 11:57 AM

yeah, but you listen to bleep bloop house music....
