when did I say you like shit bands?

I am a nerd, from waaayyy back, and They Might Be Giants is an art rock nerd band, from way back, playing all the same clubs and gigs and shows as all the underground NYC bands in the very early 80's.

My Bloody Valentine (who I like but only think they put out one GREAT album and one great ep -- if disappointment is counted as "how much hype a band gets and how much hype you hear about to make you think they're godlike versus how good they really are"; this band doesn't match the hype at all despite being good)
The Breeders (only "Pod" is decent)
Smashing Pumpkins
Sigur Ros
Birds of Maya
Television
The Clash
Patti Smith
Danzig (not the Misfits, just Danzig)
Electric Six
Tomahawk
Primus (who I like a few songs by, but...)
Mudhoney
Meat Beat Manifesto
That shitty thing that Mark E. Smith did with Mouse on Mars
Neil Young
The Rapture (EWWWW!!!!)
Pleasure Forever
Kill Me Tomorrow
Frank Zappa
Bad Company
Bad Brains
Beastie Boys
Bloodrock
Black Flag
The Exploited
Suicidal Tendencies
NOFX
Tori Amos
Angry Samoans
GG Allin
The Vandals

!!!
Armatron

Afghan Whigs
Mr. Quintron
Jesus and Mary Chain ("Psychocandy" has about 3 decent songs... the rest? Ew)
Unbroken
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Hella (who started out good but has gotten worse with every album -- disappointing)
Zach Hill/Mick Barr (that project has to be one of the worst things ever recorded)
Some Girls
Ned's Atomic Dustbin
Das Oath
Head Wound City
Black Eyes (their early single showed promise but they ended up being annoying as fuck)
Holy Molar
The Locust
AIDS Wolf
Cattle Decapitation
Chinese Stars (seriously, this band SHOULD BE awesome)

I could go on forever, but fuck it. Like I said in my first post, almost too many to name... most bands.

I TOLD you that you only listen to obtuse crap!

dionysusundone · 05.23.2008, 09:05 AM

You don't like Neubauten?
Damn.

I don't know that I'd say MOST stuff on GSL is a disappointment... but there was a lot of stuff. Especially after the Mars Volta started sticking their noses in everything.

I didn't know you liked the Phantom Limbs though. They were fucking awesome.

PAULYBEE2656 · 05.23.2008, 09:08 AM

another one i thought of

these arms are snakes and most stuff off jadetree....

atsonicpark · 05.23.2008, 09:17 AM

Yeah, Phantom Limbs are amazing.

"Displacement" is one of the best albums I can think of. That fucking organ!!!

Neubauten's okay, but they disappointed me. Not every band I listed was something I HATED, just stuff that wasn't what it was hyped up to be.

Rob Instigator · 05.23.2008, 09:37 AM

don't believe the hype

auto-aim · 05.23.2008, 10:26 AM

Rob, that was a joke, by the way. I despise TMBG but that's a different story altogether.

Rob Instigator · 05.23.2008, 11:06 AM

They love you, dude.

Pavement ? Are you serious, Torn ?
You mean the last album, I suppose.

I did not enjoy the Joanna Newsom hate a few pages back. >:[

Death & the Maiden · 05.26.2008, 01:32 AM

I also agree with Pavement, I expected more from them.

I've always wished I had the money for an organ after hearing that album. I mean, come on. Who wouldn't want to play it after hearing an album like that? I mean, "Castanets Cookie'"? Holy shit. They completely rewrote the rules of what a sorta 'gothy' band can do these days. I can't wait to go see Loto Ball opening for Silver Apples next month.

And word, I could see how they might be disappointing. They had to grow on me personally. But I love 'em now.
