I know The Strokes are an easy target for indie boy hatred, but that album really is great. I dance to it in my kitchen when I'm cooking dinner. EVERY DAY.

i like is this it too, its simle, nothing new maybe, but enjoyable.

I know, it really is an indie boy thing to hate the strokes. But I'm really not an indie boy. I like EVERYTHING. I just think the strokes make horrible music. It's not a hatred of their fans or their fangroup, I just hate them. With someone like Cat Power I can admit, even though I hate the music, yes I also hate the leigons of pretentious hipsters that worship it

seriously tho....

 

I was calling The Strokes indie boys, not you. Because they are big indie boys, big hipsters, cool cats, and that could be repugnant, but I sort of fancy them all so it's okay.

I'd rather listen to Urge Overkill any day than the no sense of humor Strokes

Their lyrics are actually quite funny, sometimes. I can't be bothered finding examples because I know you don't care either way.

Urge Overkill rocks! Sister Havana!

But how did they end up in a comparison to the Strokes???

I wouldn't consider Mr. Bungle [especially not "California"] a rock album, but glad to see them mentioned!

Anyway, the following 10 albums that fit more in a rock genre never get old:

wire - pink flag
thinking fellers union local # 282 - mother of all saints
metallica - and justice for all
minutemen - what makes a man start fires
butthole surfers - hairway to steven
the wipers - over the edge
the fall - grotesque (after the gramme)
captain beefheart - ice cream for crow
polvo - today's active lifestyles
pavement - slanted and enchanted (I'VE GOT! ONE HOLY LIFE TO LIVE!)

atsonicpark's got that shit KICKIN'!

Mellow Gold is not rock , but I like it.

'Fuckin With My Head' is a great rock song, and 'Mutherfuker' is unmistakeably hardcore.. but I know what you mean. What genre could you put this album into, though? It chops and changes far too much to be anything in particular.

sonic youth - sonic death
fushitsusha - the time is nigh
the dead c - dr 503c
bardo pond - lapsed
harry pussy - what was music?
guided by voices - alien lanes
big black - atomizer
the jesus lizard - bang
nirvana - incesticide
sleep - jerusalem

i wouldn't call cornelius rock music

Indy , folk , garage , rap ( Loser ) , Motherfucker is rather thrash or noise to me ... so many genre on one album.

Fantasma is a rock album, it spand the full spectrum of rock, from early beach boys harmony, to thrash, to loud abrasive rock.

Point is NOT a rock album in that sense.

sonic youth - sonic death -> you gotta be shitin :D

i dunno if id consider bands like the dead s, fushitsusha, or harry puss 'rock bands' in the conventional sense. but hot damn, thats a fucking list!

maybe we shouyld do a thread titled top ten RAWK albums

more (once again only rock in the conventional sense, no really experimental stuff, like krautrock, for simplicity's sake):

11. suicide-suicide
12. the minutemen-double nickels on the dime
13. black sabbath-s/t
14. the damned-damned damned damned
15. thee headcoates-beach bums must die
16. polvo-today's active lifestyles
17. eyehategod-dopesick
18. bad brains-roir
19. the birthday party-prayers on fire
