yeah. i don't hold anything against anyone who doesn't like it, though, i mean, there's things that other people love as much as i love dark side and i don't necessarily agree with them.

demonrail666 08.06.2008 03:23 PM

I must admit though, i could never really trust anyone who didn't like the first Ramones album at least a little bit.

...like Polvo.

Cantankerous 08.06.2008 03:36 PM

i hate them but liking polvo doesn't mean there's something wrong with you.

All the better !!!

Sorry, I'm so disappointed they didn't reach the top 20, I thought more people on this board really enjoyed their albums. I'm probably the only one who put Today's Active Lifestyles at the 2nd place.

HECKLER SPRAY 08.06.2008 03:57 PM

Oh, I'm mistaken, I put it at the 3rd place.

dude, that is like saying van gogh or monet should have FINISHED their paintings, instead of leaving them so "impressionistic"

Rob Instigator 08.06.2008 04:11 PM

I sent in my top 5 and it was this,

1- beatles - beatles
2 - daydream nation - SY
3- yr living all over me - dinosaur
4- Are You Experienced? - Jimi
5- Hairway to steven - butthole surfers

my top 3 made it in

HECKLER SPRAY 08.06.2008 04:17 PM

Any Sebadoh album, Rob ?
I'm surprised.

Rob Instigator 08.06.2008 04:25 PM

nope. I picked my top 5 all time records

sebadoh's smash yr head on the punk rock would be top ten though for sure.

so would Polvo's Exploded Drawing and Unwound's Fake Train

HECKLER SPRAY 08.06.2008 04:30 PM

As you want.


Do you still listen to the Beatles ?

hell to the fuck yeah. that shit's timeless.

I listen to the white album at least once a month, same with sgt pepers and ABBEY ROAD! plus I have around 10-13 beatles 7" singles.

me and my friends learned how to write music from the beatles when we were all age 13-16.

StevOK 08.06.2008 04:38 PM

My votes were:

1. Pinkerton - Weezer
2. OK Computer - Radiohead
3. Sister - Sonic Youth
4. Siamese Dream - Smashing Pumpkins
5. In Utero - Nirvana

I didn't put much time into thinking about it, it was just off the top of my head.

demonrail666 08.06.2008 04:41 PM

I've only heard Weezer's Buddy Holly. Is other stuff by them radically different from that?

Ah, ok.

I don't have any problem with the Beatles, it 's just... not my generation. Sometimes I feel like a little dumbass for not liking the Classic rock (Beatles, Stones, ...). That's life.

Haha yes it is. "Say It Ain't So", "Surf Wax America", "Only in Dreams", "Pink Triangle", "El Scorcho", etc...none of those sound anything like "Buddy Holly"! I wouldn't say it's a radical departure, I mean they all are just power pop songs, but they have a lot of varied stuff on those albums. Now when you get to the green album, that's when all the songs sound identical.

Weezer's first two albums are great.
