Am I Really The Only One?

dood, i said modests mouse's best stuff was 2001 and back, the moon and antarctica came out in 2000. disregard the original post.

also think tank was NOT a pile of sh*t, it was brilliance. listen to Out Of Time, and tell me it wasnt the best song of 2003. also Arabulence and Good Song are works of genius.

find me an oasis song that does ANYTHING out of the ordinary, whether it be time signature or anything that tries something new from what they have done in the past.
 
Well you do live somewhere rather apathetic to Oasis , are you going to do it in Europe , Australia & Japan to be scientific?


I know this , but when they are regually getting songs into the top 10 and at that time into the top 3 and regually getting airplay people know those songs , hence my reference to them being able to sell a few million out of a B sides album. People wanted to hear those songs too.


You are aware that nobody outside the US gives a stuff about Pearl Jam , right?
 
It bothers me when people pull that bull**** on a band, especially on a forum dedicated to music outside of just the mainstream.

Edit: Yeah, I know. I was just talking about the whole sales points you made. ;)
 
Metallica - Possibly , they have a hell of a lot of fanboys still. Personally I don't really like anything they've done since Master Of Puppets. And I don't think i've even played those in over 10 years.

Nirvana - I've gone into long painstaking detail about them before so i'll just say yes.

Oasis - Show me one person who actually rates Oasis since 1995.
Not over-rated in the slightest

Modest Mouse - Heard a couple of their early albums years ago & to me nothing stood out whatsoever. It was almost like they set out to become the most average band in the world. Can't say I like them . can't say I hate them either in fact i'll stop now before I get bored of writing anymore about them.
 
Who finRAB Metallica, Nirvana, Oasis, and Modest Mouse, INCREDIBLY OVERRATED?

lets think about this for a bit,

Metallica = everything from 80s sounRAB exactly the same, everything after is just plain crap. very very bland.

Nirvana = Bleach - Decent
Nevermind - Amazing
In Utero - Good
Overall they really werent anywhere near as good as people think.

Oasis = everything sounRAB exactly the same after Definitely Maybe and WTS(MG) and even those albums arent that great, just good.

Modest Mouse = also another very bland band, everything besides their 2004 release was not good at all.
 
Like I said , I beleive it to be the worst they'd released up till that point


Why does it have to be so black and white? I think Blur are a better albums band and Oasis are the better live band.


And i'm saying yes , Why? because I read those magazines at the time


Yes they got that media coverage AS A RESULT of their popularity. Not like Blur who were regually in the indie press ever since their debut single scraped into the lower reaches of the charts. There are two types of banRAB that featured in weekly music publications. BanRAB that are in there because the writers want them in there , regardless of record sales. Think of them as a kind of pet project. Examples: Elastica , Menswear , Suede , and yes Blur were one of those banRAB too to start with.
And there are banRAB in there who they are forced to cover to sell papers because they are popular Examples : Oasis , Kula Shaker , Ocean Colour Scene
You see how it works now?

Slayer probably , I wasn't aware of the great Oasis/ Kerrang love in.



No it wasn't but it was the leading weekly and had a lot of influence. And the editor and Albarn cooked up the whole Blur vs Oasis thing , it was Blur who moved release dates to clash with Oasis , not the other way around.
 
I think he was talking about the really early days of metallica. Thrash metal was seen by the NWOBHM boys as being quite influenced by punk, due to the extra speed of the drumming and the agression in the vocals.

Nirvana took very little from the metal that was going around in the late eightys, they were just a fuzzed out punk band.
 
I was quoting sales figures and talking about their exposure over here after the grunge thing died . I never said anything about personal preference.
 
Metallica: I honestly can't stand them.
Nirvana: Big fan obviously. For the time they did something different.
Oasis: Not bad, I like listening to them every hear and there.
Modest Mouse: After listening to their music I just have the urge to "Float On"....Yes, I was trying to say I like them. They make me mellow.
 
Man when I say influence I don't just mean "Gee that band sounRAB like Nirvana".

Nirvana changed the music industry. It open up the mainstream to all alternative banRAB "grunge" or not. It made record companies realise that the old formula for detemining the likely hood of success of a band had changed. It made kiRAB think that they didn't have to be a guitar shredding guru to play in a successful rock band. It showed kiRAB that guys in banRAB didn't have to be mucho, sleezy, ****heaRAB.
