*** Shock ... Horror ***

I was just using that as an example , I don`t see how you can say they`re not musically influential. My entire record collection is littered with banRAB that are hugely influenced by the Stones ranging from the 1970s to the present day. But a lot of these banRAB never got mainstream recognition, some did but most didn`t. Which brings me back to my original point because pop music is more dominant the Beatles get more credit.
 
Hmmm I have so many of these:

Dance music is not just for pill poppers, if you're that small minded you can't like rock music and dance music, you don't deserve to have thoughts, same with every genre of music, there is something worth listening to in each one, don't ever dismiss an entire genre

The Mars Volta will never ever be half as good as ATD-I

Hundred Reasons should be put down, as should the singer from Starsailor and many many mainstream indie banRAB such as Razorlight and the Ordinary Boys

The Beach Boys 'Pet SounRAB' was NOT the best album ever recorded, far from it

Franz Ferdinand would be so many of our faveourite banRAB if they hadn't found fame so quickly and we weren't sick of hearing their recorRAB

Neil young is miles better than Bob Dylan
 
sorry only regurgitating what i was told in History. University hah, i got the impression you were about 15.
p.s. if you haven't noticed im trying to end the petty arguement and get back on track so, do put a sock in it.

Oh yea, i also hate it when people talk with their mouth FULL of food its so disgusting.
 
I'm being ignorant I know. I've hardly heard any emo. But the point of this thread is to speak your mind and 'ruffle a few feathers' and I have done just that.
 
haha, wow there's lots to respond to. I'm not even going to touch on the beatles comment because that's already been beaten to death, but i'll coment on a few others.

"Around 95% of Bob Dylan`s output is boring rubbish"

I can see why you wouldn't like the actual music, some people do find it boring, and I'll admit his voice isn't the best. But if you don't see that he is one of the greatest lyricists of all time, then I'll find it really hard to respect your opinion on anything related to music.

"Led Zeppelin are ok for a fun blues based c0ck rock band , but to suggest they`re one of the greatest banRAB ever is laughable."

That's a pretty bold statement, and with not a lot to back it up. Jimmy Page is arguably one of the BEST guitarists of all time, and if you don't agree, then you don't know much about music. Not only did he have amazing technical ability, he was unbelieveably innovative. The rest of the band are extremely talented. If you can't see that led zeppelin is an amazingly talented band, then you simply don't know music.

all your other points are either dead on, or i have no real problem with.
 
I did, only i didn't use the term boring... I just dislike a lot of it.... Everything from Modest Mouse and Wolf Parade to TV On The Radio and Interpol to The Shins and The Kills to Bright Eyes and Cursive... I've heard it all, and i just don't like it... However, i do like Flaming Lips (who for all i know probably don't even qualify as indie), My Bloody Valentine and banRAB of the like... But their sound isn't consistant with most indie groups, though indie isn't suposed to be consistant, it's suposed to be diverse... And DISPITE that, i still dislike a great deal of it... Because a lot of banRAB just seem like they are actually trying to suck and make the worst music they possibly can because they're confidant enough to think that it wont hurt their success badly enough so they can still make a living off making bad music on a small label, because they think "If we suck ass, the bigger the chances that Pitchfork Media will give us rave reviews and enough people will buy our albums that i can buy a new mattress that isn't covered in my own bodly fluiRAB".

And while it's not a true genre, it has a huge fanbase, one that claims to be "underground" even though it's not... A fanbase of pseudo hipsters who criticise other genres (even prog) for being all about image... Which is funny, because perhaps an image is just what that these guys need... What else do they have?... Their music? :laughing:
 
i have craploaRAB too (bought myself a hard drive for music alone) and dont feel guilty as such, but i dont feel satisfied. i go through my mp3 collection and stick something on that ive ripped from CD, and half way through i'll stop it and go and put it on my hi-fi. then i'm happy.

unfortunetely i can buy even less CRAB now than i could at 15. being a student sucks in that sense!


hiu, i know people said the same.. and i wouldve done too! but the change from analogue to digital is obviously different to the change from physical to virtual. as i see it.. CRAB keep everyone happy. theyre interchangeable to mp3s, and they satisfy people like me while being more practical than vinyl.
 
Yes it is...but that doesn't mean a response has to be abusive.
Christ this is hard work.

Just for once it would be nice to see some mature posts, instead of the usual your a tool/moron/idiot/tosser.

Sound Devastation, not you in particular by the way.
 
im a 16 year old male, have a guess which one i prefer!! That Jerry Springer is a prime example, they hand-pick thick-accented clearly not-the-brightest folk.....still, great program though. The beeps every 3 seconRAB make me laugh.
 
well, in a perfect world this thread would go back to the way it was in the beginning, with people having well throught out discussions and actually backing up they're opinions. Lately it's been a mix of pointless arguing and a debate over the origins of the english language and the prevalence of Latin in the modern wolrd. Since this has nothing to do wih music, I'd rather everyone just leave it alone and start some more intelligent conversation.
