I've changed how I look at music over the past year, I like to think. I don't think it's really fair to say any band sucks, the most mature thing to do if you do not like a musician or a band is to accept that just because you don't like them doesn't make them bad. It's all a matter of perspective.

Well, I've always thought like that. I can recognize good qualities in every band. I still think some bands outright SUCK FUCKING ASS, though. I mean, I'm sure some serial killers have good qualities -- they still can go fuck off for all I care.

I'm just kidding. But you know what I mean.

I dig to much british Nme indierock

1. Animal Collective is brilliant
2. Frank Zappa is great
3. I read Pitchfork every day

bring it

I don't think many people would disagree with those 3 nr.

I personally don't like Pitchfork, specifically their reviews, but their news section would be worth reading if they covered bands I cared for. I also think Animal Collective keeps getting more and more boring. And I am not a huge Zappa fan -- but he's definitely a genius. I actually love a few of his albums and 200 Motels quite a bit, I just think he has far too many albums I don't care for. JAZZ FROM HELL, WEASELS, and MONEY are all brilliant though.

Pitchfork sucks but I read NME.

So where even.

I agree at both other points(only AM new album is a let down)

This is probably the best musical video ever:

i have always thought Televison were overrated, or perhaps mis-rated. If I was going to rated them by relevance and influence then yes their rating would be more or less fair. BUT, if I were to rate them on actual musical creativity,dynamics, and excitement then it would be far lesser cry of genius.

I like em', some of the songs, well I love 'em but honestly, they tend to get boring rather quick.

Pitchfork reviews do basically suck (or rather, I disagree with them a lot), but I still read them for some reason. But I read a lot of reviews (allmusic, prefix, allaboutjazz, etc). So whatever. The Pfork news section is so much better now that they moved the tour dates to its own section. I was so sick of the news constantly being "_________ starts tour today"

I've been an AC fan for a long time, and it seems there's 2 kinds of us. Ther'es me who loves MPP and you that thinks it's boring. I hate Danse Manatee personally. But I appreciate what they were trying to do. I really think they're a great band though. And they always keep me excited to see what's next.

Zappa is great, but yes there's albums I love and albums I don't. ONLY IN IT, SHIP ARRIVING, for instance I f'ing love. APOSTROPHE i think is kind of silly and stupid. But that's the chance you take when a discography is nearly 100 albums. Right? I'd rather have 100 albums to dig thru and make up my mind about than have a band that put out 3 geat albums and called it quits. That's just how I am.

I don't like Television that much either, I never can listen to Marque Moon longer then 20 minutes.

I do like Richard Hell's later stuff(Blank genartion and the heartbreakers) way better.

Count me as another non-Television fan, though some of the guitar interplay on Marquee Moon is amazing of course.

I personally love Television though I can see why some people don't like them. I think it's one of those hate the or love them bands.

I like the new Marilyn Manson album "The High End of Low"

-Combat Rock is a great album.
-I'm starting to enjoy De La Soul Is Dead, Buhloone Mindstate, and Stakes Is High a lot more than 3 Feet High and Rising.
-Days of Future Passed is fantastic and absolutely slaughters Sgt. Pepper's. The Moody Blues in general kick ass.

Combat rock is just awsome, the clas on poptour is great and should Should I Stay Or Should I Go is a great catchy popsong

-I love Genesis
-I really do not like MOST british post-punk
-I love The Fall, but I don't like early Fall

Probably because they're all better albums.
