The best King Crimson song is 'Moonchild'.

When will they learn that the point of a drum machine is to make it sound like the drums?

^ Not sure if that's the "point" of them, you can do whatever you want with them... certainly, I've pretty much only used them as a substitute for "real" Drummers, but you can program beats real drummers can't play.

My main thing with machines in general is I don't like the idea of robots, so I will usually make things a bit off-beat or program an extra few hundred fills or so to make it seem more real.

It's weird to hear bands like The Cure, The Smiths, Joy Division, and so on.. who have real drummers, but seem to make them intentionally seem to sound like drum machines..

The Red Hot Chili Peppers' album One Hot Minute actually have a few good tunes

just curious. what is this amazing country that america dishes out? Fucking country sucks.

Youre right about this, its lovely, thanks

I really dig skinny puppy (at least up until the process). Too dark park is a fucking timeless classic. I find it hard to understand that the average friend of noise seem to ignore this. I guess it has something to do with cultural capital. Be sure to check out related projects as well.

Nick Cave shouldn't have started before Junkyard and should've stopped after the Mutiny Sessions.

^ No, no. That goes in the "Tone Deaf Musical Opinions" thread.

Your reply actually invalidates itself.

- flaming lips = boring
- manic street preachers = bland
- nine inch nails = annoying
- whoever says avril lavigne has any kind of serious talent must be taking the piss and i assume they all agreed to do this as a practical joke on the world
- sade = good
- van halen/the police = most annoying music ever

BLASPHEMY

Trent Reznor is a musical genius.

If you mean specifically tone, then Nick Cave hasn't actually hit a note in 30 years. I don't mind his voice, but he's no singer.

Must we go through this? She's got an amazing voice. She's like the Anti-Cave.

Agreed. Though I think "The Holy Bible" is an incredible album.

The flaming lips aren't ALWAYS boring. They still got some good songs.


and the Police? oh wait...that's right you're goth.

Parody thread alert. I am not a troll. Society turned me into one.

Agreed, so long as we're talking music only and NEVER lyrics.

Yeah. lyrics suck.

I could never manage to get into or give a piss about Neutral Milk Hotel

Yeah Neutral Milk Hotel are toss.

i respect them and like about 3-4 of their albums, but honestly, fuck the melvins. too much bullshit.

along similar lines, fuck mike patton too. that talentless hack should be thankful every time he makes a nickel. christ he sucks.

^ agreed with that second point. The only good stuff Patton's done has been because of the actual talened people he's been involved with; I mean, look at Mr. bungle. It's basically Spruance and Dunn's band, and both those artists have done AMAZING things w/o Patton... in fact, Patton is the worst part OF the band...

Kaada/Patton - Romances and Disco Volante are the only Patton related albums worth owning and he's the worst part of both...

A sub-point to the unpopular musical opinions thing: Patton is the tip of a shit iceberg. Doesn't make the other musicians he works with better. Except Zorn, obvs.

love neutral milk hotel.

mike patton is annoying.

i lot of people (not avril lavigne) have interesting voices but that doesn't make them talented. she's specifically more annoying because she thinks she's more badass than hannah montana. the hey hey boyfriend song is the winner of the "upset my stomach" category.

yes. Mike Patton is shit!

I wanna lock Betty Crocker in the kitchen
And knock her upper during supper
Clutter up her butter gutter
Hostess Ding Dong wrapped an eggroll around my wong
While Dolly Madison proceded to ping my pong
Your Milky Way is M'n'M in your britches
And I'll tell you Baby Ruth it looks mighty delicious
Keep blowing my gum, cuz here I come
I'm gonna get you all sticky with my Bubble Yum

Knick knack paddywhack and give your dog a bone, baby

I was givin' some head to some french bread
It was a four course orgy on the spread of my bed
French kissin' french fries in my Fruit of the Looms
I get deeper penetration with a fork and a spoon

I got yogurt meat loaf smeared all over my ass
I stick my weiner in two buns and and then give it the gas
Sour cream from my spleen into Levi jeans
Gonna bust the seams with my refried beans

Ronald McDonald just loves to be fondled
With Big Mac he'll fuck it like a Chicken McNugget
Colonel Sanders wants to goose Granny's loose caboose
He's gonna give her a boost with that Kentucky fried juice
Sooper doop poop scoop, loop de loop, chicken coop
Shoot some hoop, top sirloin from the groin
Topped with dick cheese, sneeze, wheeze,
From the skeez disease, wooi!

Take a dump, baby, squirt some gravy
Pour some sugar on me, honey, make it brown & runny
Give a little Flavor Flav, back from the grave
Gonna burn some toast, pump some humpin' rump roast

Knick knack paddywhack, jump in the sack, in fact
Jerk the smack and crack Jack from the back
Bananarama or ramabanana
Fuckin' Barry Manilow on the Copa Cabana

Squeeze me macaroni, slop your face with my bologna

You gotta syphon the spinach, you gotta cream the corn
Sperm scrambles the eggs and a meal is born
Cookin' like a beginner, but I'm goin' up in her
I had Fritos for lunch I'm havin' bush for dinner
Chef Boyardee and the Three Muskateers
Shove Charleston Chews in their rears like queers
"Holy moly, guacamole!" said my Chips Ahoy
I'm gonna pinch a ravioli on the Pillsbury dough boy

Knick knack paddywhack and give your dog a boner, baby

We came to pottie...we came to pottie down your throat

^Mike "the Genius?" Patton

The only thing Mike Patton has done that was of any interest to me at all in his entire music career was curate that Ennio Morricone compilation called Crime and Dissonance...... what a great fucking compilation......

I still cannot fucking believe I am posting on a board where people gush over Avril fucking Lavigne. What next, a Justin Beiber thread?

The Cure, Johnny Cash, The Clash, The Smiths/Morrissey, Feist, Broken Social Scene, Cat Power..... all pretty shitty........

Deathklok and any other ironic metal bullshit is worthy of a kick in the balls........

Besides some Smiths songs and Cat Power's 'Moon Pix' album, I agree fully.

Screw you. Ironic metal is the most hilarious thing ever-ESPECIALLY when it's unintentional (case in point: Manowar).

I don't think so......

1. Faith No More rules and improved tenfold once Patton joined. I don't care what anyone says.

2. I'm insulted.

3. I agree. Johnny Cash, The Clash, the Smiths, Feist, Broken Social Scene, and Cat Power all make me cringe.

However, the Cure is amazing! Have you heard Faith or Pornography? Oh man, it just doesn't get better than that! Honestly.

4. Yeah, I could never listen to something like Deathklok... that's just too silly for me. However, I think Anal Cunt and Ten Masked Men are brilliant.

Absurd nihilism

Music that makes you "cringe" is actually touching something inside you that you hate or hide about yourselv es

The Darkness were incredible.

I have their first album on cd, yeeeh. Too bad the xmas song is not in it.
