Bands that were never good, then became awful, then became complete shit
 

anyone?

DEVO rules... better than Sonic Youth.

OK, I hope yr joking. DEVO is incredible.

yeah, bad call. everything they did was great. perfect band. more consitent than, and possibly (probably?) better than sonic youth.



how about the white stripes? bad, fucking bad, and then embarassingly fucking bad.

Ah, one of these 'let's antagonise people' thread, they're always fun.

Rolling Stones!
Dinosaur Jr!
The Pixies!
Pavement!

Etc.

I'm seconding Devo. Gash beyond redemption.

At least White Stripes did some Beefheart covers (then again, didn't Black Keys or Black Lips or whatever the fuck do one too?). But other than that, yeah they sucked.

But yeah, Glice, while I do enjoy a few assorted Dinosaur Jr. songs from "Bug" and "Living", I never thought they were that good. Then, they definitely got worse and worse...

Unfortunately, anyone who seriously says "Devo" is silly beyond words. It'd be very difficult for me to actually sit here and name more than 30 bands that wrote songs as good as "buttered Beauties" and "Mongoloid" and "Triumph of the Will"...

Fucking nuts.

i cant sit here and think of one band that debuted with a record as perfect as q: are we not men

What's the Devo album most likely to change my mind? I've been mystified by any appreciation for them for years and years.

Yeah, those songs were so perfect; I love the minimal, clean, somewhat surfy guitars mixed with low-tech and catchy keyboard lines. Mindbogglingly perfect songs on that one.

"Freedom of Choice" is also so good that it's unbelievable.

Glice, get Q: Are We Not Men A: We Are Devo.

It's brilliant...

DEVO is amazing and brilliant. A lot of you are sounding like idiots right now. FREEDOM OF CHOICE, ARE WE NOT MEN, NEW TRADITIONALISTS, etc etc. Insane.

And I'd say the White Stripes' first 2 albums were good, and that WHITE BLOOD CELLS was rather solid. They still knock out a handful of good tunes these days on each record, so I wouldnt catagorize that as awful.

Downloading...

atsonic, do you have E-Z LISTENING? So awesome!

This band is just complete fucking shit.

Haha, yeah, I heard it a while back and appreciated it. More bands should do that.

I love Hardcore Devo vol. 1 and vol. 2... some crazy shit on those.

Good call, slavo.

Really, my answer to this thread should be .... "most bands."

Has anyone heard the new Keane single? Absolutely preposterously shit.
