television

is vastly overrated

if forced to choose, I'd honeslty rather listen to Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend album w/ R. Lloyd than Marquee Moon...(by then, Richard could play a guitar well!)
well, maybe not///don't make me listen to either actually

put on a record by anyone from that scene ...
Talking Heads
Ramones
Patti Smith Group
Blondie (I hear Toilet & Bowels gagging...what's he gagging on?)
these bands are tough to beat live or otherwise\

I love
Devo
Sparks
The Cars

damn, who's better out of these? now, that a fuckin' toughie...Kraftwerk certainly isn't as good as any of them.

note it.

television isnt overrated now the cars on the other hand....

By what indie-creedo?

I've heard every bit of Television....the albums, the live, how much The Cars have you actually heard?

Even lesser songs by The Cars are better than the best Television. Listen to the albums & drop the pose; The Cars are no ordinary popular rock band.

I made a comment earlier disparaging Yes.
Television are even worse. At least Yes can play uptempo; they're adept at it, and by the opposite token, they also employ a layered soundscape at will...just the wrong notes at the wrong time and just-plain-cheesy counter-melody. Damn, Television are a severely limited band to lose out to Yes.

the velvets are 60s you dork!

Can

Henry Cow are pretty good.

Alex Chilton

How about some Cleveland punk: Rocket from the Tombs, Electric Eels, Pere Ubu maybe even Dead Boys.

or

Hawkwind
Wire
Suicide
Motorhead
Sabbath
Neu!
Fela Kuti (was he 70's?)

Nick Drake

DEFINITELY do Rock In Opposition.
DEFINITELY.

AND the Residents.

like totally dude...like, they're rad:rolleyes: & people think you're cool if you drop their name...hell, you can hide your ignorance by just dropping some names is what I've found...
