...Because Sonic Youth aren't that great.

When I think of great bands I don't think of bands I like that much. Maybe Explosions In The Sky, GY!BE, or ASMZ. I dunno. Most bands are shit.

Boredoms are nice.

You don't like EITS, GY!BE or ASMZ much???

EITS are sy hacks are you kidding?!

well you live in a meth-lab so what do you know
and 8,300 since march?! no fucking honor.

The Velvet Underground.
Peter & the Wolf.
Joy Division.

Not as much as Xiu Xiu, Cat Power, or others. I'm just saying Xiu Xiu and Cat Power hit me where it hurts but they aren't worthy of best band ever.

but!!!!

PHISH IS!

whoa i guess ive underestimated what this city has to offer. personally my favorite locals are Fuck Work ....wait is there another PATW?

alright so theres obviously all this love for Unwound so who else loves Worst Case Scenario

the velvet undeground
the smashing pumpkins
the breeders

The Smashing Pumpkins
Belle & Sebastian
Kyuss
Queens of the Stoneage
Pink Floyd
i don't know...

They were my homies back in the East Oly days! The whole group lived at the Lucky Seven House (WCS) at the time when they had these amazing coffee hours (since 2/3s of them worked at Starbucks as well) every other Tuesday.

Nah, it's Whiskey & Apple's Peter & the Wolf straight from Austin, TX. If you want to get hooked with some music by them, just hit me up. Excellent "folk" music, possibly the best I've ever come across.

there can be no greatest or worse band ever. bands positive and negative aspects depend on the contextual tastes and pleasures of the individual listener.

personally, of that ive heard - raincoats, sy, shonen knife, deerhoof and mbv would be my best bands ever.

Radiohead is also a very decent band.
MBV, good call.

Hootie and the Blowfish.


no, shit, not really.

I would say one of those:

Joy Division
Radiohead
Television
MBV
Cocteau Twins

in terms of importance and legacy for artists following.

oh fuck yes. i was getting worried i was all alone here for a second.

haha! you crack me up slavo
