Razorlight

Keane

 

It's a shame I had to stop at 3. :(

 

Hang on, I feel the need to do another block of 3. :w00t:

 

Oasis :puke2:

Coldplay

My Comical Romance

My Chemical Romance

Panic! At The Disco

Fall Out Boy

Nine Inch Nails (6th form angst-ridden poetry nonsense for people who think Personal Jesusu is Depeche Mode's best record. Drab)

Marilyn Manson (the embarrassing token goth in the old 80s movies.... laughable)

Nirvana (one good single and a genre is made? nah... rubbish, the most over-rated rawk band EVER. Maybe it's an American thing?)

I can certainly understand your disliking for much American "RAWK" muzak, but seriously, you're trying to say that these three are actually worse than insufferable w*** like Stone Temple Pilots, post-"Appetite for Destruction" Guns N Roses, Limp Bizkit, Motley Crue, Skid Row, Extreme, Spin Doctors or Papa Roach????? Please dude....... You picked the wrong targets to aim at my friend......

 

Nirvana and Nine Inch Nails were an antitode for the frankly AWFUL rubbish LA "Hair Metal" that was around in the late 80s.... And not all Manson is rubbish, just the past two or three albums and those sh!t cover versions they did.....

but Nine Inch Nails were always more entertaining when they were called Depeche Mode, I think ;)

Nickelback, Ocean Colour Scene come to mind straight away.

 

Would have to think about the other... Razorlight would be a good call but I did quite like their first album. Killers too.

I offically hate you, Marilyn i understand, he sucks but...

 

NIN! sorry but they are easily 100times better than anything you listen to and i dont even know what you listen to but NIN are 100times better than most people and Nirvana, the one good single you are refering to is proberly smells like teen spirit which is nothing on there other amazing songs like Sliver and Lithium

 

cant belive you would want to erase the two best ever songwriters from music history

Oh, and maybe come back to argue the toss as an adult - not a 15 year-old (in smudged eyeliner) with his bottom lip petulantly poking out.

 

Bless.

I can certainly understand your disliking for much American "RAWK" muzak, but seriously, you're trying to say that these three are actually worse than insufferable w*** like Stone Temple Pilots, post-"Appetite for Destruction" Guns N Roses, Limp Bizkit, Motley Crue, Skid Row, Extreme, Spin Doctors or Papa Roach?????

I have to agree with this post. Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, and Marilyn Manson have all had their lows (especially Marilyn), but all three definitely have written some amazing stuff. Nirvana have Polly, Teen Spirit, Rape Me, and Lithium...NIN have Closer...MM has The Dope Show, The Beautiful People. I can understand disliking them, but erasing them from music history? =/

 

Anyway, I'd have to say...Insane Clown Posse, Nickelback, and Limp Bizkit. Korn are up there, but I do like Twisted Transistor.

...What's wrong with Bloc Party?

There was a time when Manson was great, but after listening to his last album (which was, how should I put it? c**p) and this silly "theatrical"? lifestyle he leads in the media, it shows how downhill they've gone.

 

Oh and I completely forgot Keane (Yawn) and Nickleback, they where always a VERY very very waterdowned version of the Foo Fighters in my opinion. :lol:

...and actually, the one and only song of Nirvana's I give any credit whatsoever to is All Apologies.

 

Smells Like Teen Spirit is a pretty average little rawk ditty - a song that only America could think of as 'genre inspiring' or 'revolutionary'. To the rest of us? A catchy, throwaway little number - but, ultimately, just another rock song.

 

Nine Inch Nails will always be teenage boy angst nonsense.... 6th form poetry for people who really should read actual poetry. Watered-down, sub-Depeche Mode quasi-goth nonsense - about 10 years after goth was relevant, too. Hilariously awful. Reznor makes me laugh, really he does - all this dark, gloomy "I'm in SO much pain" tiresome nonsense - oh please. If you're that at odds with life listen to Bob Dylan on repeat for a few weeks - surely enough to drive anyone to suicide. To even consider this pillock as a 'great songwriter' - I seriously, strongly suggest you invest in your music collection, mate, as it's patently missing any real quality.

 

And Cobain one of the finest ever songwriters? :lol: This statement is obviously generated by someone who, quite frankly, doesn't have a very panoramic knowledge of many (if any) great songwriters.

i dont wear eyeliner

Sorry Russ - can't agree with you about Nirvana. Teen Spirit was more than just an average rock song albeit it was inspired by The Pixies. Then when you add in About a Girl, Polly, Rape Me, All Apologies, etc.

 

And any band that furthers the cause of the Pixies aesthetic is fine by me.

 

I do like NiN and Manson but I can understand your points but they were sooooo needed in America during the 90s. Even if Ministry were a thousand times better than either of them.

 

Oh and Teen Spirit didn't create grunge - it was going to happen anyway. Mudhoney, Soundgarden and others had laid the powder and Teen Spirit was the spark.

I cannot agree with this in any way at all... Granted, NIN have done some pretty excrutiating stuff ("Closer" being a song that I utterly despise), but to say they were irrelevant is pretty silly... For a start, NIN's first album came out in '89, when Goth was still pretty big (Sisters of Mercy and The Mission still getting in the Top 10) and I wouldn't even call them "Goth" anyway tbh... Definitely more the more experimental "indutstrial/electronica" end, especially these days with that excellent "Year Zero" album they did, which is a pretty good slab of post-Industrial electronica/noise..... Obviously, there's no one who can beat the likes of Skinny Puppy, Minsitry, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb or Frontline Assembly at this game, but NIN are a decent band, and they at least gave Industrial a more "human" face....

you took the words from my mouth, Scott... my take on industrial is... Skinny Puppy are the masters, the rest is chaff. NiN are just awful, awful, awful - throughout their career, from start to finish, Reznor's written some of the absolute worst lyrics. Truly shocking.

 

But.... the kiddie goffs loved 'em.

You talk about the lyrics again, but frankly, have lyrics ever really been that much of a concern in Industrial music...? Personally I'm more into how Industrial bands use sound and production, and Reznor's production skills are seriously good.. In saying that though, "I Want Something I Can Never Have" is a very melancholic tune, it's probably one of the more obvious times where Reznor really does bear his soul and shows his vulnerability, and this is where I feel NIN are different to other Industrial bands, other Industrial bands are cold, emotionless (but still cool as fukk...), NIN can show real vulnerability on occasion....

 

And I would've thought you'd be able to at least respect Trent's independent attitude towards his music, the story of how "Pretty Hate Machine" was recorded is pretty legendary, Trent works as an intern at a record company and works on the album during the night without much support, doing everything himself.

 

Of course, the problem was with later releases when he had a bit too much money to play with, and it not really sounding as "life or death" as when he was barely scraping by....

 

I assume you mean indie / rock bands...

 

Korn

Errm, aren't these a Metal band mate.....? :unsure:

 

and like this is an idie area :lol:

 

with all this hard rock why dont you just do what q mag has done and feature led zepplin and just call it rock

 

hasnt this area gone a bit too much towards hard rock than britpop these days, shouldnt you just get rid of both areas or make the metal/punk area hard rock and metal

 

look youre upsetting the manic street preachers!!!!

oh sorry my mistake thats a "punk" group called the stranglers :lol: :lol:

what!!! rainbow chaser :lol:

 

 

OCS are worth keeping around

 

and with all the hard rock in here surely they should come under r&b these days, would keep gabrielle company when paul wellers not around :lol:

well i suppose it could all go a bit relix mag here, what with all the alternative jam bands and acts called things like Umphrees Magee. though if after phish, the dave mathews and the gratefull dead, ben and jerrys make an ice cream honouring them i might take an interst. tho its a good thing that their ice cr4eam shakes are not branded as cooler shakers as after cherry garcia that would be one awful pun to far :lol:

 

Nirvana and Nine Inch Nails were an antitode for the frankly AWFUL rubbish LA "Hair Metal" that was around in the late 80s....

 

yeah thats why i think foos should be moved to the harder rock area for nirvana role in achieving this (even tho they might just be seen as bon jovi with more credibility these days after the jovi were on a credible alternative show over the weekend :lol: :lol: )

 

You talk about the lyrics again, but frankly, have lyrics ever really been that much of a concern in Industrial music...?

 

however in indiepop land i suppose morrissey would just be level pegging with paul heaton & suggs as a pop thing if it wasnt about the lyrics and the man he was. think he a bit too heritage for the hard rocking indie section these days dont you think???

 

so in the end america's hard rock won, britpop died!!!

 

Yea i would kill Coldplay 3 times

Can you stop making complaints about the naming of the indie forum and leave it to the thread you made in the Mod Lounge? This thread is about 3 bands you would erase from music history if you didn't notice.
