Don't worry. The whole board has been on a bit of a slope for the last couple of months.

Yes.

Regarding their "clean image" as opposed to - for instance - the Rolling Stones I think it's bullshit, with what happened backstage with the drugs and groupies they were no angels. EDIT: I was thinking specifically about their Hamburg period when they took lots of speed to keep themselves awake and gladly "benefited" from the prostitutes, I don't think that their behaviour changed that much afterwards.

Yes, anyway I think the decline started when we lost Hip Priest's very good threads.

im confused.... didnt you praise to allah, buddha, hari and any other deity that will listen that there are no crap glam bands on another thread and strongly disagreed with anyone who didnt agree?..... surely they are high in ......... erm................camp value!

as for the battles bashers.... man, stop being so trendy... just because a band became successful that doesnt mean that you have to hate them to retain indie street cred! battles are a fantastic band.... and i am not a kid!!!!

more bands to the list
razorfuckingshite- probably said that!
melvins-- i agree, dont see the appeal
isis, again, dont get it
gogol bordello, sorry, i have the album and its shit, even with the novelty factor put into the equation.
lightspeed champion... bollocks trendy nme styled newwave country muck!
that band thati couldnt even be arsed thinking of their name.
suede, mind you the kids have grown up by now......
rancid
bad religion
nofx
pearl jaaaammmmmmbbbbbbe

The first Melvins and Bad Religion albums are amazing. Isis was pretty consistent until a few albums ago. Everything else you mentioned is awful though.

Pauly, correct me if I'm wrong, and you may have said it on this thread elsewhere, but don't you hate Neurosis? I think that style of music just isn't your thing, man...

I think we should ask if young people like Sonic Youth.

funny - when i was about 22, i saw SY at roseland with my boyfriend and we commented how we were the oldest people there, which was odd considering the band was twice our age. when we came out and saw all the parents waiting for their kids, just to be mean, my boyfriend turned to me in a very concerned voice and said "there was so much drugs in there." one mom nearby just gave her husband this look like "you see!"

yeah, neurosis... i dont get it and that kind of erm, "style" doesnt cut it with me. its like watching something like vh1 on heavy metal and an interview with dave lee roth comes on... im like "thats not fucking heavy metal, ill show you fucking heavy metal" sorry... im not sure what i mean....

yeah, i dont like neurosis.....

Really surprising.

Neurosis are one of the best bands around. Not something I want to listen to all the time, but when I actually listen to them, I'm surprised at how damn musical they are. They have a few trudging, boring "riff goes up riff goes down" parts on all their albums, but they actually have lots of interesting sounds going in within the structures of their songs, especially on the last few albums.

Ah well.

the only good freak folk = Espers and Faun Fables (it's a sin that Dawn McCarthy isn't praised like that childlike lunatic Newsom)

I've noticed some Cat Power haters in this thread, and although I'm a fan I can absolutely see why some people loathe her. In her defense, I will say, at least she's not Joanna Newsom.

i agree with you on the last three genres. even though what people considered emo in the 90's is still pretty good to me. i still bring out the first get up kids and promise ring record sometimes. twelve hour turn are still one of the best bands to come out of the 90's to me.

anyway, nu-metal is the worst shit to me and it's not just the music (even though it's shit), but in florida redneck 16 year old meth freak dropouts still think that drowning pool is the shit and wearing jncos is the cool thing to do. also, i can't stand their blacken rotting teeth. all nu metal fans, i have come across, have that bad teeth look going on.
