re: McLaren - the idea was, by many accounts, theived from Throbbing Gristle/ COUM transmissions' music and aesthetic, but with this idea of making it more like Hell/ the Ramones. And failed on both parts, although I quite like some Pistols. Whatever, the Pistols' music is little more than borrowed Faces riffs.

They may have been covered already (I ain't wading through fifteen pages to find out) but I think Radiohead are a bunch of whining, po-faced, joyless fucktards.

A funnier title for this thread would've been 'Tipping the Sacred Cows'.

The Birthday Party are a lot better than Nick Cave solo.
Bob Dylan ripped off Woody Guthrie (it might be a fact though)

Bad moon rising sucks

Michael Bolton is a really sexy guy.

Too bad his music stinks...

on the bob dylan one i have to agree somewhat on the earlier stuff. given his lyrics were way better but the basic concept was basically guthries.

My Unpopular music opinion: There are way better Sonic Youth albums than Daydream Nation. I'm more into their early 80's music over the stuff you hear in the DDN/Dirty/Goo era.

i think Bad Moon Rising is slowly becoming my favorite SY album, lol

I think "How Am I suppose To Live Without You?" is slowly becoming my favorite Michael Bolton song, lol

I never got King Crimson.

Then go to the store and buy some

After the goldrush is much better than Harvest.

Sergeant Pepper's is not the best Beatles album at all.

the beatle barkers are much better than the beatles.

West european and American music (from Beatles to Cardigans, from Elvis to Nirvana) would sound all the same to an alien from outerspace.

The alien would say: "The songstructures are all the same, the singers all sound alike, the instruments are all equal, the studios that produced them are all the same, and bands all look alike."

"So whats the big deal with music? Why does anyone care?"

beat happening are GROSS.
i like gravy train.
"hounds of love" by the futureheads is better than the original.

hip hop is the fucking shizzle. tupac shakur is a god.

That was like a punch in the face.
No one should ever say that sentence.
