i was going to reply to this earlier but i had a funny turn and wound up in hosptial!

i guess it's unpopular enough.

i like stevie ray vaughan, at least the first two albums.

The fact that Steve Albini is so insistant on defining Shellac as punk rock annoys me.

I find Battles' Mirrored tedious and repetative. Other bands get away with the same riff repeated four or eight times because they have vocals to provide some counter melody. It just bores me most of the time.

I think Highly Evolved by the Vines is one of the greatest records ever.

damn...

that's true. and i LOVE joy division!!!!11

Steve Albini's personality annoys me, particularly his persistence in defining Shellac as punk rock and his dedication to analogue recording. I mean, yes I'd buy vinyl if I could easily rip the songs to my mp3 player, but I just don't have the time to just sit down and listen to music, that's why I listen to it when I'm out doing stuff. But you know, he's a good musician, I like his work.

I don't like no wave apart from Glenn Branca.

I tend to like proto-punk and post-punk but not punk itself.

Weezer rock

Agreed, but only the first two albums.

Though generally now 99% of what could be called indie-rock or alternative rock is the worst, most soulless shit ever. Bunch of assholes trying to make the most average music ever.

have you seen them do Get Free on david Letterman?
I love it

what about Shellac is NOT punk rock?

If only punk rock was more like Shellac!

punk rock is not a sound, it is an attitude, a mentality.

The first two and a half Partridge Family albums now sound like classic rock. Ditto for some of those old Archies singles and the first Bay City Rollers album.

crazy horses by the osmond brothes is a great tune. and the crazy keybords in it are awsome.
a great song for SY to cover....

That opinion is not unpopular with me.

I like yellow by coldplay.

Take it back.

The best singer last night was NOT the blonde bird, it was the tall bird in the dark green dress with the featureless face. I contend that everyone preferred the other one because she had a better rack. The pianist was alright, but he wasn't all that.

I realise this might be described as a slightly obscure opinion, but it's true, so there, the 60-odd other people who were there last night.
