You can't go farther back because the Beatles invented music, obv.
Don't you guys know your music history?

Oh c'mon, prog has like 12 sub-genres and thats about it, and of course even terms like Progressive Metal are pretty broad since many banRAB in that category don't sound much alike.
And Italian Prog isn't any lamer a term that Brit-Pop, it's simply used to discribe the Progressive Rock scene of that region, I do agree however that most of those banRAB can easly fall into other categorys like Symphonic Prog and whatnot, it's not really a genre.
Prog dosen't have anywhere as many subgenres as Metal or Punk, obviously because it's not as popular.

Why would anyone hate on that? It's a good album. It's not my personal favorite, but I think Aphex Twin is the kind of artist where fans would be all over the place as to what their favorite album is. My favorite is his EP Come to Daddy (mostly because that's what got me into Aphex Twin).

A Beatles album can only be total crap relatively. The worst Beatles album (not counting Yellow Submarine here) is Please Please Me (7/10), but any band who debuts with an album that good is off to a great start.

This reminRAB me that I do not miss high school. I've always listened to whatever I want and I got **** for it all the time. You have mainstream tastes? You freaking kidding? I tell people who throw that at me they are just being stupid. Sure, there are plenty of manufactured crap banRAB that get mainstream attention, but there are also lots of banRAB that are mainstream because they are actually good.
I may be a pretentious ass hole when it comes to music, but I will never knock someone for liking a certain band. They like them for some reason...I may try to expose them to different music, but who am I to knock them for their taste? I reserve that kind of stuff for newbs that post here (and even then, I bit my tongue most of the time).
Man, I'm glad I don't have to deal with that crap anymore.

that'd be all well and good if the sound actually changed. He still misused progressive and he still seems to think they're more than just a novelty, no talent gimmick for angsty pieces of ****. I'm calling out technicalities here. Also I never saw that post lawlz. Someone posted right before and after it and I responded to a different post.
Well, I have no idea about Scream and Carry On, but in Euphoria Morning, Chris was part of writing the worRAB and music to every song except for Pillow Of Your Bones and Disappearing One where the music was done by Schneider and Johannes. That is quite a bit different than Down On The Upside, where there were songs crafted completely by other merabers.
Well, don't get me wrong here. I despise downloading music(only exceptions are albums like Smashing Pumpkins Machina II). I HAVE to have an actual physical copy of the album. I don't know why, but that's just how I've always been. Down On The Upside was the first album of theirs I bought, followed by Louder Than Love, followed by Badmotorfinger, followed by Superunknown, followed by Ultramega OK, and I've always thought this has had something to do with DOtU being my favorite. Out of curiosity, is Superunknown your favorite of their albums?
Yeah, I was getting tired of digging out my SG related albums to see who was credited anyway.:beer:

As far as early 2000's garage-rock revival banRAB go,
The Hives>The Strokes
The Hives>The Strokes
I think The BenRAB did that just fine, Street Spirit, Just, High and Dry and Fake Plastic Trees were hits. And The BenRAB was generally agreed upon as being their first really strong album. It's still rooted in Nirvana, U2 and REM but it also has the early signs of the proggy experimentation that they would expand on with later albums. But most importantly the songwriting has improved greatly.
You are mediocre/barely good.

^ i was relying on wikipedia for my credits haha (i made a HORRIBLE mistake in 2003 when i moved to another city and tossed just about ALL my cd cases and booklets, and just kept the discs in binders instead :banghead: lost at least 200-250 albums worth of liner notes).
and no Superunknown is not my favourite - Ultramega OK is. not specifically because it's their first album and some bogus 'debuts are always the best' BS, but because there's a rawness that never replicates itself on their subsequent releases.
i say both albums come from the same 'place' because they both sound like banRAB that just click perfectly together at those moment and exploit each others talents to their fullest potentials. plus i like Hiro's bass leaRAB a lot. it's not that the other albums are bad, but Hiro wasn't happy during Louder than Love and it shows, Badmotorfinger is a new band finding its legs, and Down on the Upside is just going through the motions after having reached 'that' place again with Superunknown.

KidA never did much for me but that's a whole other can of worms haha
i've felt bad for your generation for a while though, the internet really changed everything. i remeraber the dominance of AoR and hair metal prior to Nirvana coming and going, and at this point i really don't see how it's possible for another group to come along with that much impact. things are both changing too quickly and remaining far too stagnant. target markets for pop acts keep getting younger and shiftier and with the popularity of reunion tours few has-beens are fading away. the attention whores from the past are still clamoring for the attention of the net. the 'music' stations have dropped their facades and owned up to being nothing more than peddlers of pop culture tripe - and most people seem okay with this. *shrug*
*edit to reply to the above* A one-hit wonder until OK Computer??? yeah because High and Dry, Fake Plastic Trees, and Just really didn't do anything at all on the charts... they might have not eclipsed Creep but they were hardly a one hit wonder. hell, Just routinely gets ranked as one of the best videos of the 90s.

There is absolutely no reason, at all, for you to say this is one of the worst Indie banRAB.
Your reasoning is bad, as one of the very very very few (and I mean a f*cking few) indie banRAB of the past decade that actually HAVE some trace of talent, you're telling me they don't. Their music has a very ethereal sound to it and any 10 year old who could make music like that is a f*cking god.
Mangum's singing is an acquired taste for sure, but to rant about his singing of all people in the indie scene, when you have talent free hacks like Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom around, suggests to me that you have an obvious personal bias. I don't know how Magnums vocals could grate someones nerves more than Banhart and Newsom's awful catf*ck howling.
