That's pretty narrowly defined. Do you have Asperger's syndrome?

to all you people who put black flag on your lists:
they released their first ep, nervous breakdown, in 1978. |

I don't have a lot of favorite American bands, but probably:
Sonic Youth Low The Softies The Aislers Set The Ladybug Transistor Bedhead American Analog Set Mercury Rev The Innocence Mission Bardo Pond ...honorable mention, R.E.M.

Oh yeah--forgot Galaxie 500 and Husker Du when I was making my list...important bands. other bands from reading the lists here--Cat Power (not really a band)....Yo La Tengo--like them but not my favorites...same with Ida...and I forgot Windy & Carl.

In no particular order: NNCK, SY, NWA, PE, Diamanda Galas (She is American, right?), Le Tigre, Prince, Madonna, Michael Jackson (if he scrapes in).
I should note two things: This was hard, because I don't really like that much American stuff; I'm including people I think are most important for music in general (hence no Justin Timberlake or Laura Cantrell, although I love them both dearly).

You should check out The New Year (that's the name the Kadane brothers are using now)...they also did the soundtrack to the documentary "Hell House," which is a must see.

i defintely dont think how good they are is left up to the individual. that stuff can be proven even if its with some relative difficulty. Sonic Youth doesnt have the full package?! yeah, maybe not the marketing package because of Nirvana's frontman as you put it, but I am convinced that Sonic Youth can satisfy any criteria we throw at them to define the greatest band. As far as the Pixies curt cobain openly admitted nevermind was his failed attempt to write a pixies song. I think definitely their most innovative album was Bleach but hmm, I wonder where they picked up on that dirgy sound that became known as grunge. yes, it would be The Melvins. not saying curt ripped them off but he did use their pioneering into sludge as a springboard for grunge. |

this post proves exactly why nirvana doesn't deserve to be in any list (unless it's personal taste) |
