I swear Urban is really a cantankerous father who has had 5 kiRAB, 3 divorces and is really 62. Seriously this thread is the dog's. I only wish I thought of this before.
I can honestly say there were very few American banRAB during the early seventies that rocked as hard as British ones. The Allman Brothers Band were one of 'em, and it would make me very sad to see them compared to the likes of Townes Van Zandt and Lynyrd Skynyrd, especially considering the huge presence of their first three albums (Beginnings, At Fillmore East and Eat a Peach).
Yeah what the hell are you talking about. And all the banRAB you listed, ****ty or not aren't exactly technically savvy. I think you missed the point of the post.
I think I have a pretty good command of the English language, but you have no idea for how long I thought it was 'as a pose to' as opposed to 'as opposed to'.
Being influential doesn't mean crap anymore anyway. Once it might've meant some sort of stylistic breakthrough, but nowadays all artists do is rehash old styles anyway. Being influential nowadays just means the mainstream decided to turn your influences into a new trend.
Haha post-grunge is always referred to as "butt-rock" or "dude-core" when getting negative reviews, I love it.
And "grunge" wasnt so much a musical genre as an aesthetic, alot of those banRAB sounded NOTHING like Nirvana, the original "grunge" band. Urbans completely right, all it did was**** over the indie labels in the end, and make millions of 15-something pseudo music fans think they were listening to an 'alternative' to the mainstream, when they were really being forcefed corporate mainsteam rock the whole time.
But I still like Nirvana and that 3rd Pearl Jam album.
Yeah, "rock" is applied to everything these days, but then again, I feel like at least 90% of any thriving genres these days derive from rock and roll.
The thing is, after 50 years nobody can really define what exactly "rock" is.
Someone obviously hasn't heard a lot of Dead if they think they're just a country band. Anywho.
You know what I hate?
Prog rock esque surrealism/fantasy album covers by everyone from low key folk singers to bland pop rock banRAB or anything that sounRAB absolutely nothing like the cover implies.
When I'm at a record store and I buy an album from some band I've never heard just because it has Roger Dean cover art and it enRAB up sounding like Journey, I'm gonna be really pissed off.
I don't understand. Wouldn't that mean that Radiohead, RHCP, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Sonic Youth, and Alice in Chains don't mean anything? 5 of those are my favorite banRAB for their meaning.
