Same here. Even when I was kid, which was back in their day, they seemed like my parents' band.

I think kids today are becoming like my parents, and I am becoming, to kids today, like a rebellious teenager.

Mudhoney was Creedence with heroin.

the guitar

Everyneurotic · 10.30.2007, 10:12 AM

mudhoney was crap who had a lot of luck.

Bicorn Halfelven · 10.30.2007, 11:41 PM

Harsh, but for the most part, i have to agree.

gmku · 10.30.2007, 11:45 PM

in their early days mudhoney probably copped heroin from creedence fans. then kurt cobain went all pop and shared his man.

Rob Instigator · 10.31.2007, 08:36 AM

Mudhoney rule all! mudhoney is a mix of stooges and creedence, an dthat is EXCELLENT to my ears

Bicorn Halfelven · 10.31.2007, 11:14 AM

There's a boot of Nirvana doing a cover of CCR's "Bad Moon Rising" out there.

I can post if anybody's interested.

I'm not so keen on their cover of CCR's "Bad Moon Rising."

Love their Meat Puppets covers and how they do Mudhoney's "The Money Will Roll Right In."

Their cover of The Cars' "My Best Friend's Girl" is downright embarrassing.

Meat Puppets? I think they're ok... Violent Femmes is another 'Americana' band I like... Very outre...

CCR hippy trash ? Are you serious ?

jetengine · 11.01.2007, 08:34 AM

'Bootleg' and 'Born On the Bayou' were great tracks. 'Have You Ever Seen the Rain' was probably their best out-and-out commercial single.

gmku · 11.01.2007, 11:34 AM

I like the Pixies. I don't care what any of you Pixies-haters say.

Rob Instigator · 11.01.2007, 11:59 AM

Pixies are very good stuff.
they rock. if ya wanna ROCK you oculd do much much worse.

Everyneurotic · 11.01.2007, 12:19 PM

mudhoney were like the dead boys mixed with the dead boys, it's just another garage band trying to be the yardbirds, only in the 80's. BUT they were in SEATTLE, and they released shit in SUB POP and they influenced KURT COBANG so they must be godheads!!!

i was a bit harsh, since i enjoy many of their songs but, they are not that special. rather listen to the mummies than mudhoney.

pixies are also overrated but they wrote and arranged a ton of amazing songs.

jetengine · 11.01.2007, 10:13 PM

Not sure why we're talking about The Pixies here all of a sudden, but I just wanted to admit that I've never understood all the hooplah over The Pixies--or Frank Black's solo career. As far as I'm concerned, they were just another one of those '80s/early '90s 'alternative' bands whose best tracks were the handful of commercial tracks--i.e., the singles--that could (supposedly) compete with or outshine the hits of the most respectable bestselling bands (The Cure, U2, INXS, The Smiths, REM, etc.). Take their 'classic' Doolittle album for example: 'Monkey Gone to Heaven', 'Here Comes Your Man' and maybe 'Wave of Mutilation' carry the entire record--the rest of the tracks you probably listened to once or twice and haven't returned to since. It's the same thing with Black's second solo record: it's just 'Headache' and 'Abstract Plain'--the two singles--and the rest is just immemorable third-rate filler.

Come to think of it, The Breeders were probably the best thing to ever come out of The Pixies...

This is horrible revisionist thinking. the pixies were fucking amazing and are still amazing and theuir first EP's and albums rock harder than anything "indie" these days. The breeders fucking suck shit compared to the pixies. DEBASER alone trumps anything the breeders ever put out.

this is what happens when a band is ripped off by EVERYONE to such an extent that the rip-offs garner more publcity and more airplay and people go back to hear the original and find it boring.
that's YOUR fault, not the pixies.
