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.
