Julian Casablancas

Just does what Lou Reed, Stephen Malkmus, hell, even Beck had done already.

*Please note, this is just fun and I actually really like Casablancas/The Strokes.

I'll stop now. This thread is silly in a good way.

Whiny, nasally, shoe gaze music that perfectly exemplifies the pretentiousness of the 90's.

Tame Impala

So everyone's just gonna hate everyone's music, correct? Seems to be the way this is going. :laugh:

I loved Linkin Park as a kid, don't keep up with them anymore but I've enjoyed the singles off their new albums. Not enough to immerse myself in them again.

Muse or Brand New. It flip flops, take your pick.

Cantera sounds about right. Maybe I'll get into their garbage interpretation of metal music eventually, probably the same day I think about entering a mosh pit.....so never.

Linkin Park :laugh:

I used to like Linkin Park. Then I remembered I wasn't 14. Not surprising someone who's never been in a mosh pit would like them. Kinda says something that the best album they ever released was remixes by other people.

Rammstein.

*edit* Awwwwww beat me by one minute. Okay, I'll do Muse too.

Muse. That's easy. Here's the same song done two decades apart:



*editedit* Oh, you even got a stealth edit in there, did you? Don't know Brand New.

The thread premise doesn't really allow for anything BUT that. If you talk about how you like or are simply neutral about the band, it's basically going off topic.

It's The End of the World as we Know it was just a ****** knock off of We Didn't Start the Fire.


The Smashing Pumpkins

It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) - 1987
We Didn't Start the Fire - 1989

So how's it a ****** knock off again?:dunno:

This is called putting your smartass before the cart:sarcasm:

Smashing Pumpkins were great for 3 albums (plus a b-sides/cover album), good for 2 more, then absolute **** when Corgan and Chamberlain tried a comeback without Iha and Wretzky (who's in jail now, isn't she? Last I saw of her was a mugshot). That said, I didn't hear their last effort except for part of one song, which indeed sounded better than anything on Zeitgeist.

Hard to pick a fave as I have several, so I'll just go with Grant Lee Buffalo/Grant-Lee Phillips (treat Grant's entire body of work if you want, he's released more solo albums than GLB released as a band), since it'll be new for most people.

And yeah, I went out of sequence.

Yeah, I'm taking it semi-seriously so I guess I'm thread-hijacking. Sue me.

EDIT: Wretzky's not in jail, though that last thing I saw about her was an arrest for a drunk driving charge. Apparently she and Corgan reestablished contact for the first time in 16 or 17 years this year, so there's that.

Less a music act, more an excuse for a skinny dude to flail around shirtless in music videos. Also, can 'thank' them for bringing extensive DJ mixes to rock music.

Pearl Jam

I love Pearl Jam and have seen them multiple times, but Last Kiss is one of my least favorite songs ever. So terrible. Also, Eddie talks a little too much during shows at times.

Tool. Pseudo-intellectual metal played slow to hide a lack of ideas.

Radiohead or Talking Heads. Take your pick.

:laugh: "Water, fire, air, and dirt. Blanking magnets, how do they work?" ICP ;)

Greatest lyric ever AINEC :laugh:

As for Frank Ocean, I was initially intrigued by the guy with Channel Orange but.......I was not superbly impressed by his latest work. I find his music a tad boring overall, the R&B's version of the xx. I wanna get excited a little, ya know?

Also, I put up Linkin Park earlier but I admit to looking over the "favorite band/musician" part, doh, so I'll come up with another one in its stead, my ultimate guilty pleasure band:

The Killers
