the Pixies
The Doors
The Velvet Underground
Weezer- before recently...ugh

Never heard of them...will check them out now.

I typically don't collect vinyl either, unless I can't find it on CD. CD's are cheaper. And I can't listen to vinyl on the train.

also you suck for not mentioning Pink Floyd (UBER LEGEND x infinity)

Ah, oops. I have trouble listening to them sometimes, though- it's not something I can just put on, I have to be in the mood for it. Good, though.

HOLY CRAP!!! There's another NSer from good old Norfolk? I was begining to think i was the only one

I'm bored. So it's time for another music thread! :D

So, which of these bands do you like? Any glaring omissions you think i'd like? Suggest away...

Think these bands are shit? Argue away.... :p

Nirvana - Like them, but a little over-rated. Mudhoney were the first grunge band imo.
Led Zeppelin - Like Nirvana, good but over-rated. Only just managing to be able to listen to their music now that I'm away from all the metal/bodgy/westie type dicks who think music began and ended with LZ and so do nothing else but play it 24/7.
Rage Against the Machine - not bad, but limited. Can only handle listening to one or two songs together. Then they start blurring into one another. Great music to work out to, though.
Dead Kennedys - very good band. Great combination of hard punk, sarcasm and political ranting. Like them!
Black Flag - didn't really get into them much, so won't make a comment about them
Screaming Trees - see my answer for Black Flag
the Pixies - very cool band.
Refused - going to have to check these guys out.
Tool - One of the bands of the nineties. Awesome band, awesome live too.
A Perfect Circle - ehh...Good first album, but that latest one of anti-war covers - yeuch. Certainly reduced this band's overall rating
The Doors - see my answer for Led Zepp. Except Page is way better than Morrison.
The Velvet Underground - Good band and very influential. When I'm in the mood (mainly lazing about on a warm Autumn day) I enjoy listening to these guys.
Weezer - Super band. Love their slightly cheesy garage music
Smashing Pumpkins - good, but over-rated and usually only a couple of songs on each album that stand out. Rest just blur into each other.
Candlemass - another band I'll have to check out.
The Kinks - Used to enjoy these guys when I was young, but haven't listened to them for yonks
Spiderbait - ehh, so so.
The White Stripes - vastly over-rated, imo.
Faith No More - see comment above.
Stone Temple Pilots - yeuch.
Sonic Youth - Never really got into them. Don't know why. Just one of those things. Don't dislike them, just don't really like them.
Black Sabbath - unfortunately became viewed as a parody for heavy metal. Not that bad, really.
Kyuss - see comment for Stone Temple pilots
Queens of the Stone Age - see above
Monster Magnet - have to check these guys out
Fu Manchu - ehh, not really interested in them
Fireball Ministry - see comment for Monster Magnet
Sleep - see above
Candlemass - see comment for Fu Manchu
Soundgarden - some great songs, but overindulged and started believing their own hype
Alice In Chains - yeuch
Mudhoney - One of the bands of the 80s. 'Superfuzz bigmuff' still a classic that gets played regularly in my place.
Babes in Toyland - good, but never really got into them
L7 - overrated and undertalented
Butthole Surfers - THE band of the 80's, along with Big Black.
The Clash - best punk band of the 70's
The Sex Pistols - started listening to them again after years away. Nice nostelgic trip for me, but don't know if anyone new would see anything in them
Stiff Little Fingers - another great punk band from the 70s. Opening rift to 'Alternative Ulster' gets me every time even after all these years.
The B-52's - never understood what people saw in them
The Birthday Party - great band, loved Blixa Bargeld's voice (hence my liking Einstürzende Neubauten)
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - used to really like them,but gone off them in the last couple of years. Can't say why. Just decided I didn't really like Nick Cave's voice and felt he's trying too hard to sound menacing and strange.
Offspring - yeuch. Overrated pap
The Hives - ehhh, take it or leave it.
Sepultura - see above
Soulfly - need to check them out
Hatebreed - see above
Placebo - see my comment for the Hives
The Cure - overrated and never could understand why people loved them so much
R.E.M - Can handle in small doses. Songs tend to blur into one another after a while. Usually at least one very good song per album.
Muse - see comment for the Hives
Radiohead - really like these guys. Another 'band of the 90's'. Awesome live too, btw.
System of a Down - System of a shite more like
Machine Head - ehh..
Public Enemy - love their early stuff, but definitely a band that should have broken up after the 3rd or 4th album
The Datsuns - see my comment for White Stripes
Deftones - ehh.
Everclear - yeuch
Foo Fighters - nice poppy music. Happily mindless and instantly fogettable.

phew, that'll do...

Phew...that took a long time!

While this is quite a list, I'm gonna try my best...

Nirvana - Brilliant new wave punk consciouness
Led Zeppelin - Nothing but rip-off artists
Rage Against the Machine - Great first album, good second...and then
Dead Kennedys - simply brilliant

Refused - not bad, lacking in originality a bit
Tool - Always good for something good and different
A Perfect Circle - Good, but too tool like at times
The Doors - good for the sixties
The Velvet Underground - Odd art rock, for the first time
Weezer - Pinkerton was great, green and blue were ok...the new one?
Smashing Pumpkins - Great in their time
Candlemass - no idea
The Kinks - pioneers of raucous rock
Spiderbait - no idea

Faith No More - brilliant
Stone Temple Pilots - crap...pure crap
Sonic Youth - amazing band, hands down great

Fireball Ministry - ?
Sleep - ?
Candlemass - weren't they here twice?
Soundgarden - Great up until that last album
Alice In Chains - not bad on their first, but after the drugs they sucked
Mudhoney - brilliant
Babes in Toyland - brilliant
L7 - ok...chick core, made up in showmanship what they lack in talent
Butthole Surfers - funny, but not always my cup of tea
The Clash - brilliant!
The Sex Pistols - punk clones...their songs were ok, but they were annoying
Stiff Little Fingers - not really into them
The B-52's - different, quirky, good for a laugh (LOVE SHACK BABY!)
The Birthday Party - ?
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - not bad...but not good..depressing
Offspring - cheesy riff meisters
The Hives - funny, but still more neo-garage crap
Sepultura - brilliant death metal...although I can't listen to them all the time

Or I can zip 'em up and send them to you if you're willing.

I'd like to hear something more upbeat; maybe some of the hardcore influenced stuff? (as your main page says, "daymonthyear's music has been described as many different buzz-words, but in truth is a mesh of styles...from prog-rock to hardcore and just about anything else that they can get their hands on.")

How are there so many people who don't like Led Zeppelin? For shame.

My guess is backlash. Led Zeppelin is one of those bands I have trouble being objective about. I really can't understand how someone who likes rock and roll could dislike Zeppelin.

I hate people who dislike bands simply because they're really popular. That better not be the reason.

Well, I don't think it's fair to go that far. I am at least willing to give people the benefit of the doubt that they are being honest. I'm just saying that if you hear all the time that a band is the greatest thing ever, and if their songs are as overplayed and overexposed as Zeppelin's are, then backlash can set in.

I'm just saying that if you hear all the time that a band is the greatest thing ever, and if their songs are as overplayed and overexposed as Zeppelin's are, then backlash can set in.

I normally wouldn't jump to such a conclusion, but I've seen it far too much on threads of this nature.

Coldplay - 1.5
David Bowie - 8.5Agreed, except I'd probably have given Coldplay 0.5. They're shite and totally overrated.
Queen - 810 from me - one of Queen's biggest fans here :)
U2 - 2If I could separate the music from the personnel, I'd probably give them about 6.5. However, I can't, so I'd give them 1. Still better than Coldplay as you say, but not by a huge margin.

Coldplay scored 1.5 because they had to be more than the Foos. And 1 was the lowest I'd give anyone. So U2 scored another .5. Simple.

Coldplay scored 1.5 because they had to be more than the Foos. And 1 was the lowest I'd give anyone. So U2 scored another .5. Simple.

I only especially like the very first Foos album. The rest is meh.

Hey, the first 5 U2 albums rocked...then they started sucking.

First three Foo Fighters albums = great, One by One was rubbish and the new one has a couple of good tracks (out of both CDs).

Foo Fighters is a very good album, and The Colour and the Shape is truly awesome. I kind of think they've been going downhill ever since.

Foo Fighters is a very good album, and The Colour and the Shape is truly awesome. I kind of think they've been going downhill ever since.

Weezer - pretty damn good
Smashing Pumpkins - catchy but otherwise a yawn

Stone Temple Pilots - meh. won't be missed
Sonic Youth - errrg...not my thing
Black Sabbath - legendary and rightfully so
Kyuss - really good, though I now find their music a little too wankish
Queens of the Stone Age - Kyuss was better.
Monster Magnet Good back in the day. Pass.
Fu Manchu - who?
Fireball Ministry - who?
Sleep - who?
Candlemass - meh

Alice In Chains - should never have had radio play. BLAH. hate them. Glam metal parading as grunge.
Mudhoney- influential and good, not amazing
Babes in Toyland yawn
L7 - yawn
Butthole Surfers - infantile, no longer amusing. Thought they were great when I was zit-faced teenager
The Clash - OMG. Amazing. R.I.P. Joe Strummer
The Sex Pistols Legends, lots of attitude and distortio. I like.
Stiff Little Fingers - who?
The B-52's - MUST DIE HORRIBLE DEATHS
The Birthday Party - total non-starters

The Hives Meh. Blah. As annoying as the skin condition they named themselves after.
Sepultura - Fuckin Eh!!!! love em.
Placebo - alright. not my thing usually except for Special K, which is only a special song to me because it was playing at a very magical time ( first thing in the morning, last day @ my first Burning Man Festival)

R.E.M - yeah. I like. Escpecially their earlier stuff

Pink Floyd - Well, duh, they're brilliant
Hendrix - awesome
Bad Brains - meh


and I would like to know why the hell The Melvins aren't on your list?

You reaaaaaally should get a hobby :D

the best is definitely tool or ratm, too few people know tool, it's a shame

I thought so too until I heard the new one. They've really broken out of that formula problem they seemed to be having.
I don't know, the rock side of the new album just hadn't inspired me at all. Some of the acoustic stuff is very good though.

I would also like to nominate Spinal Tap for the list :P

and I would like to know why the hell The Melvins aren't on your list?

I only have one album (Stoner Witch), so I need to get into them more before they're list-worthy.

Foo Fighters 5 words: SHUT THE FUCK UP DAVE! Your music sucks. Go do what Kurt did, despite being 30000 times better than you ever were.

Oh come now, you saw them 30 years past their prime without two of their members, including their guitarist and prime songwriter. That's not exactly fair.

Ok, true, but I was taking that into account, and they were still utter wank. I saw Stiff Little Fingers 30 years past their prime as well, and they were fantastic.

The Replacements-Stink

I can understand most of them, but these are rather strange friend.

I can understand most of them, but these are rather strange friend.

Sandinista! is a fundamentally flawed LP, certainly, but over its sprawling six sides there is a depth and a variety which is not present on their other LPs. You would not believe the ludicrous amount of bootlegs, alternative versions, rough mixes, unreleased tracks and the like that I have accumulated by The Clash, yet their humongous triple experimental LP remains my favourite.

The Who-Sell out is an LP where the band are still young, and although not every track is a resounding success it has its gems - I Can See For Miles being an obvious one, and the oft-overlooked experiment in playing guitar to a reversed backing track, and then reversing the guitar that is Armenia, City In The Sky. However, this uneasy mix of stunning tracks and less finished pieces is repeated throughout nearly all of their LPs. I could equally well have said Who's Next, but would then have to justify the existence of the Entwistle tune there. Same with Quadrophenia - another mix of the quality and the bland. I have a certain prejudice against the sound of live rock LPs - I prefer to keep live rock as a live experience and LPs as studio products...

Van Morrison-Its Too Late To Stop Now - having said that I then come to a live LP, but I don't particularly consider it a rock one, rather a rhythm and blues one. Astral Weeks just doesn't do it for me, whereas the Gloria/Here Comes The Night on side 4 of this Lp does set me on fire.

Beach Boys-Smiley Smile - the track 'Heroes & Villains. Next.

The Replacements-Stink - straight and to the point. Incredibly focused. A fantastic early hardcore LP, even though it is standardly viewed as a punk LP. I could have gone for Sorry, Ma... but Stink just holds my attention better. I lose interest in them after their third LP.

Dead Kennedys - good, but not great, though they have some great songs.
Black Flag - eh. I like them, but they're not great.
Screaming Trees - One of the 5 best Seattle bands (and that's saying something.)
the Pixies - good, have a few great songs. But Black Francis irritates me.
Refused - heard of, but haven't heard.
Tool - good
A Perfect Circle - good, but not as good as Tool.
The Doors - Not too familiar with. Seem to be a little overrated though, from what I've heard.

Weezer - First two albums were good, music quality dropping a bit.
Smashing Pumpkins - 2nd best band ever.

Sonic Youth - Underrated.

Queens of the Stone Age - Okay. I have Songs For the Deaf, but that's mostly because Dave Grohl and Mark Lanegan are on it.
Monster Magnet - have at least one great song ("Negasonic Teenage Warhead") and one awful song ("Space Lord").
Fu Manchu - heard of, but nothing by.
Fireball Ministry - I enjoy the album that I have.
Sleep - I really enjoy the album that I have.
Candlemass - Underrated.
Soundgarden - Good, but not great.
Alice In Chains - Good, but not as good as Soundgarden.
Mudhoney - the 3rd best Seattle band.
Babes in Toyland - the best all female band.
L7 - Great, but not as great as Babes In Toyland.
Butthole Surfers - Great, except for Weird Revolution.
The Clash - Good, but overrated.
The Sex Pistols - Good, but overrated.
Stiff Little Fingers - Heard of, but nothing by. On my list of CDs to buy.
The B-52's - Have some good songs.
The Birthday Party - Heard of, nothing by. What do they sound like?
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Listenable, but not great, from what I've heard.
Offspring (Old stuff *only*) - Great.
The Hives - Good, not great.
Sepultura - Good, not great. Influential in a good way.
Soulfly - Dislike, because of the vocals.
Hatebreed - I like what I've heard. On my list of CDs to buy.
Placebo - See Weezer (first two albums great, went downhill from there.)
The Cure - Good, not great. Influential in a good way. (I'm saying that a lot, aren't I?)
R.E.M - Great. One of the 10 best bands ever.
Muse - Heard of, but nothing by.
Radiohead - Peaked with "Creep". Declined steeply with OK Computer but rebounding ever so slightly.
System of a Down - Good, but overrated.
Machine Head - First three albums good, downhill from there.
Public Enemy - Best rap group.
The Datsuns - Never heard of.
Deftones - Have one good song, the rest listenable.
Everclear - First three albums good, downhill from there.
Foo Fighters - First two albums good, downhill from there.

Pink Floyd - Overrated.
Hendrix - Overrated, but influential in a good way.
Bad Brains - Heard of, but have heard nothing of.

how about we switch gears a little bit: Name your top 20 bands/artists, and your favorite record by them There are a few with more than one best record, so I've used "or" when speaking of them. Also, once I get past the first 5, it becomes hard to order, and so the order may have changed if asked this question in the future.

1) Nirvana - Nevermind
2) the Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
3) Local H - As Good As Dead or Ham Fisted
4) Metallica - Metallica
5) Therapy? - Nurse or Infernal Love
6) Motörhead - Overkill or Rock and Roll (the re-release with bonus tracks.)
7) the Melvins - Houdini
8) Ministry - Psalm 69 or Filth Pig
9) Napalm Death - Scum or Harmony Corruption or Diatribes
10) R.E.M. - New Adventures In Hi-Fi
11) Soul Asylum - Let Your Dim Light Shine
12) Sebadoh - Harmacy
13) Mudhoney - Mudhoney
14) Death - the Sound of Perseverence or Symbolic
15) Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting
16) Babes In Toyland - Fontanelle
17) the Plasmatics - Coup d'Etat
18) the Misfits - American Psycho
19) Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden or Virtual XI
20) Godflesh - Selfless

Nirvana - easily the best band ever.
Pink Floyd - Overrated.
I think you got these two confused... ;)

Stiff Little Fingers - Heard of, but nothing by. On my list of CDs to buy.

A band that get worse and worse as time goes on: their LPs chart the chronological descent in hideous mediocrity of a once-great band. Start with Inflammable Material, then pick up Nobodys Heroes and Go For It. Stop at that point.

LOL!

It's funny that all the Sex Pistols haters are Americans who know nothing about the band. Oh, I'll give ratings to the bands listed, but I just needed to comment!

*laughs maniacally*

You forgot 'Hanx!'. In fact I'd recommend buying only 'Inflamm', 'Heroes' and 'Hanx!' and forgetting 'go for it'. But that's just me.

Refused - heard of, but haven't heard.


There are no excuses for this in our world of internet file-sharing. Get on it!

Pink Floyd - Overrated.

way to get into the Holy Church of Floyds bad books, the Little Purple Barret Monkey won't be visiting you this year :P

4. Desire
5. Freewheelin'
6. Before the Flood
7. Highway 61 Revisited
8. John Wesley Harding

Those are in no order, too hard to do.

I just realized I left Zeppelin off of my favorite bands list, but I can't take any of those bands off. :confused:

Nirvana
Alright, certainly influential for a lot of people. Over before they had a chance to grow beyond the genre they were born with, I'd say.

Led Zeppelin
Very tough to argue against. No fear of the epic when the world ran on three-minute singles.

Rage Against the Machine
Powerful, energising. In some cases a little paranoid, but nonetheless equipped to rock.

Dead Kennedys
Amusing yet caustically relevant on politics.

the Pixies
If you need a way into a hip girl's pants, this might just be it. I like em anyway.

Tool
Innovative and creepy.

The Doors
Drugs in music form!

The Velvet Underground
crap. Running out of time. From here on in it's yea or nay. Yea.

Weezer
Yea.

Smashing Pumpkins
Yea for the most part, slid into nay eventually.

The Kinks
Yea

The White Stripes
Yea in a nay sort of way

Black Sabbath
Yea

Queens of the Stone Age
Yea

Monster Magnet
a Big Yea for bringing back the Sci-Fi.

Butthole Surfers
Yea. They had me at "Hairway to Steven".

The Clash
Yea

The Sex Pistols
Nay

The B-52's
Yea when no one's looking.

Offspring (Old stuff *only*)
Yea

The Hives
Yea

The Cure
Yea

R.E.M
A resounding Yea that probably saved the eighties and early nineties for me and several others.

Radiohead
Yea

System of a Down
Nay

Deftones
Yea I think.

Everclear
Yea, unless I'm forced to listen for more than 20 minutes. Then I start to wonder what heroin is like. Can't say why.

Foo Fighters
Yea

Pink Floyd
Yea

Hendrix
Yea

And a few more Yeas.

U2, Jim's Big Ego, Blue Oyster Cult, Neil Young, David Bowie, The Tea Party, The Tragically Hip, Mr. Bungle, The Flaming Lips, and Devo.

You forgot 'Hanx!'. In fact I'd recommend buying only 'Inflamm', 'Heroes' and 'Hanx!' and forgetting 'go for it'. But that's just me.

I'm not a big fan of live LPs, and omitted it intentionally. Maybe swap in the Peel Sessions record in the place of Go For It!?

These ones, basically.

Idlewild - The Remote Part


Dude, that's not even their best album. 100 Broken Windows is my favourite, even though the previous two albums were awesome as well. Warnings/Promises is shite, though.

I know, but The Remote Part was the first one I had of theirs, so it holds a 'special place', if you know what I mean.

LOL!

It's funny that all the Sex Pistols haters are Americans who know nothing about the band. Oh, I'll give ratings to the bands listed, but I just needed to comment!

Whoa, first time i've heard anyone say that. I like them purely as a live band - they were brilliant...their recorded stuff doesn't really do it for me.

Public Enemy (heard of...are they not a rap group? hate rap music)

Yes, but they're a rarity in that they're a good rap group.

What about Jeff Buckley???

Unfamilliar with his work...
