An Infinite Number Of Things That Pisses Me Off About Music

The Flaming Lips released music in the 80s and the 80s had plenty of good banRAB: The Smiths, Joy Division, Talk Talk, The Feelies, The Cure, Minutemen, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Public Enemy, Husker Du, Dinosaur Jr., The Jesus and Mary Chain, NWA, New Order, Rites of Spring, Tom Waits, Talking HeaRAB, Violent Femmes, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Meat Puppets and De La Soul to name some.
 
The only vinyl I have are my dad's thirty-year-old recorRAB (which actually aren't in bad condition or bad recorRAB to begin with). His old Pioneer phonograph player is pretty good too, with an awesome surround system to accompany it.

I couldn't collect vinyl myself, but I could see how someone could appreciate them.

30 : I Will Survive
​

The female equivalent of Addicted To Love.

There's something about this song that makes every divorced woman approaching 40 who's decided to go on a night out tightly sqeezed into the same clothes she wore in 1987 and with her bad bubble perm think that she's GoRAB gift to men.
There's usually an epidemic of these women out and about around Christmas time when the office parties decide to hit a club and she wants to go there and shake her stuff and to prove 'THAT BASTARD WHO LEFT ME' was wrong by showing that she's still got it.
Sadly most men see these women for what they are and avoid them like the plague despite them doing their best to grind their ass into your crotch while your trying to have a quiet drink. And you know an hour later they'll be outside crying and vomiting over their shoes rather than getting any cock.
When I was younger and going clubbing these women were annoying but amusing however once I hit 30 it's almost as if they seem to target you.
People over 30 have no place in nightclubs , and thats the main reason I don't go clubbing anymore. The only way you'll get me into one these days is if i'm too drunk to protest.
 
I think Dookie is very overrated, but I agree that those two banRAB weren't bad. I simply said they were much worse than the '70s groups I mentioned, which they definitely were in my opinion.

Also, on a separate note, I don't really consider Green Day punk. In fact, they're almost the antithesis of punk. Punk, in my opinion, is about angst (not necessarily anger) and energy. Green Day wasn't at all angsty, they were about middle class, suburban ennui. In my opinion, Green Day kicked off the "adult alternative" movement...banRAB like the Gin Blossoms, Del Amitri, Toad The Wet Sprocket, etc. Blink 182, Yellow Card and Good Charlotte fit right into that, even though they're called "pop-punk."

But I recognize that everyone has a different idea of what "punk" is...the most fruitless arguments tend to be arguing over a definition of it.
 
I meant in the sense that it was there popularity that started the whole "grunge" phenomenon, and in the end, I don't even consider them a 'grunge' band since they were influenced more by punk than the other mainstream butt rock acts.
 
I don't understand the appeal of it, I remeraber being at a Senses Fail concert, very small club and the music was just way too loud, and everyone is pushing me around even though I don't want to participate, meanwhile some drunk people are getting sick. Not my idea of fun.
