U2
Pavement
Rolling Stones
AC/DC
Smashing Pumpkins

Bands that are bad/ ok/ good but whose influence is vastly overplayed (this applies mainly to this board):

1. Sonic Youth
2. My Bloody Valentine
3. Jesus and Mary Chain
4. The Pixies
5. Dinosaur [Jr]

Bands whose influence entirely mystifies me:

1. The Beatles
2. Dame Dave
3. G!YBE
4. The Doors
5. Pavement

jesus and mary chain?

i've seen the talking heads, radiohead, the stones, zeppelin, etc in this thread, and...
good lord, you people have your priorities all fucked up. it doesn't have to be arty or poetic to be deliciously GOOD music. it can just be fun.

however i understand the hate for RHCP. they just suck.

RHCP seminal though? Aren't they just the most prevalent example of a very shit form of music?

Isn't the term "seminal" by itself subjective?

So bands like RHCP can fall into this list.

the first 4 RHCP albums are fucking amazing good

just because funk ain't "cool" no more....

I got some "seminal" shit right here in my hand, there it is!

2. sioxie and the banshees
to my ears JuJu is still a fantastic psychedelic pop album. "Nightshift" is just drenched in layers of thick rich syrupy guitar. wouldn't want to hear anything after that lp though.

4. the talking heads (except remain in light)
I'd argue they were pretty much great through Remain in LIght. But then they sucked. and david bernie really sucked.

the only funk that was EVER cool is parliament/funkadelic

precisely.

ahhh, you are but a wee babe in the woods of funk. that explains everything

sly & The Family Stone
Curtis Mayfield
JAMES MOTHERFUCKING BROWN
even Stevie Wonder got down with his bad funk self
Ohio Players
fucking gap Band
THE BAR KAYS


funk can not only move, it can remove, dig?

lotta pavement hatred, i find that strange for some reason, (oh yeah, slanted and enchanted)

slanted and enchanted being the reason i find it strange, its a perfect record

There's a handful of "seminal bands" that I despise. I'm just going to limit it down to five that I find absolutely no worth in. Some of the bands I was thinking about listing before I actually do like a few songs by.

1. Dream Theater
2. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
3. Aerosmith
4. GnR
5. Slayer

I fucking HATE aerosmith

forgot about how much I hate them.

i was going to mention james brown and sly stone but they're soul (which i absolutely love) if you ask me. I HATE STEVIE WONDER.

i despise them

it depends what era of james brown you're talking about really, but the 70s stuff in funk for sure.

anywayz, some people probably need to read this:

Seminal

1.pertaining to, containing, or consisting of semen. 2.Botany. of or pertaining to seed. 3.having possibilities of future development. 4.highly original and influencing the development of future events: a seminal artist; seminal ideas.

why the pavement hate?

i hate aerosmith
u2
gnR
and i really dont like the stones either

1 Led Zeppelin
2 Beatles
3 Morrisey
4 Smashing Pumpkins
5 Metallica

yeah no shit to that...

i really prefer 60s james brown

yes DREAM THEATER ARE THE FUCFKING WORST!!!!! im taking a classical music appreciation class right now and theres this fat fucking slob of a kid who plays piano and wears dream theater shirts EVERYDAY! he once tried to tell me that dream theater are the most innovative band ever and without them there wouldnt be any bands that make long songs, he really said that, so i told him if he didnt shut his fucking mouth i was gonna give him the worst pink belly imaginable.
