Led Zep
I was sitting in this lovely bar in town last night, listening to loooooooads of absolutely wonderful Led Zep records one after the other, drinking sweet beautiful Erdinger. I think its a tragedy that they're associated with greasy beardy losers who are into Megadeath and all that silly music. They're essentially a blues band, and aren't anything like the rest of that evil style of music.
The Stone Roses
Again, really well-crafted beautiful music. They were obviously really talented people. But they're now associated with either these fake mods that think they're Liam Gallagher, or skinhead fat bastards that walk around in gangs and shout things at people.
Led Zep
I hate how the rock has been hijacked by the the tasteful cloudy beer subculture.
Led Zep are everything thats bad about pop music
bloated, pompus and self indulgent tripe
Maybe that's because they're not pop music.
They didn't even release any singles.
pop - oxford english dictionary definition
music of general appeal esp. amoung young people, that originated as a distinctive genre in the 1950s. Characterised by a heavy rythmic element and electrical amplification.
... seems like a pretty apt description of Led Zep to me
Either way,
they are an exceptional band.
Describes almost everything
You're arguing that anything acoustic cannot be pop?
The Stone Roses are one of the worst bands in history
fact.
Even the self-titled album?
I think that album is brilliant.
they arent the worst
they make nice well produced pop music which if it wasnt totally overplayed would be alright
The first album is a stone-cold classic
That is the fact of the matter here, nothing more, nothing less
deftones?
maybe?
^ probably agree with that

bell end city
i know all the above is opinion, but some of the people who post here have no idea what so ever.
Whorror
Leviathan, Xasthur, Sunn O))) etc. suddenly seem to be all the rage with the so called hipster crowd, not that it's a bad thing just a tad inexplicable.
Moz
attracted beer swilling football chanting Rod Stewart lookalikes. In Donny at least. Was most distressed and took away some of the magic.
Dear god...
it was horrble wasn't it?
I'm sure I heard one shout for him to get his cock out at one point.
lol'd. Seriously,
All the way through How Soon is Now all I could hear was a couple arguing about what they were having for dinner! Not what I was expecting the Morrissey clientèle to be like.
NIN?
because I like them and their "hardcore fans" scare me.
hahahaha
when i saw them at the Astoria it was all GOTHS! GOTHS EVERYWHERE! i was stood behind some 40 year old bald one who kept shouting the lyrics AND POINTING WITH HIS FINGER IN THE AIR CAUSE HE REALLY MEANT IT MAN.
Hahahha
foals
foals foals foals
^this
what subculture
are foals associated with?
the NME band?
(not taking the mick, i actually don't know.)
yeah, the whole Skins/Nu-rave
Like em cos their cool thing. Obviously they aint a 'math rock' band but a lot of the people at the gigs....eesh.
music nazis
in this thread. loads of em.
minor threat
?
nah
.
Klaxons
.
^this band
has made reading pynchon or ballard in public nigh on impossible for the forseeable future because you will invariably be taken for a hipster.
get over it
don't read in public. or grow up.
Yeah
'Ooh I can't read this in public, people will think I am a 'hipster...'
Do you realise how fucking stupid you sound?
We all have little paranoias
that just happens to be mine.
klaxons
absolutely
*megadeth
and no one links them to led zep. you silly.
Why do you care ?
Listen to what you like and don't bother about who else might like them.
'Lovely bar'?
You're from Burnley.
This story doesn't ring true!
I am also from Burnley...
... and can confirm that there are, in fact, no 'lovely bars' at all.
Well, the bar in the Mechanics (theatre/concert venue) isn't bad, but that isn't open to the general public (I think....).
There is one lovely bar.
Serving a selection of Continental beers and playing wonderous music for my picky ears.
would that be
the bridge?
i'm not from burnley but my girlfriend in, and the bridge is lovely.
Bright Eyes/Emo
It's a shame to lump BE with shite groups like Good Charlotte.
nobody does that
surely?
Good Charlotte are emo now?
Jeepers.
So are Simple Plan apparently.
It's bizarre, the elasticity with which 'emo' (in it's contemporary faux incarnation)
is treated.
Simple Plan and Good Charlotte were just second rate major label pop punk that washed in with the wake from Sum 41's chart success which in turn was just rehashing what every single band on Epitaph/Fat Wreck/Lookout/Fearless and countless other labels had been doing since the late 80s/early 90s.
emo just means
fringes, black jeans and stripey t-shirts now though.. its more a look than a sound
same with
new rave.
it doesn't exist as a musical genre - just a fashion.
emo
things which wouldve just been called goth 10 years ago are now called emo, just because thats the current popular image. my friends claim my housemate is emo, just because he has a fringe...even though he mostly listens to novelty europop...
skrewdriver
....Although in a sense that is true.
In their original incarnation they weren't a racist band.
It was only when Skrewdriver was resurrected with one original member after a 2 year hiatus that the whole race hate thing came about.
Marc Riley of BBC radio fame used to play in Skrewdriver, bizarrely.
No he didn't.
Mark Radcliffe did.
i'm studying
music related subcultures for my degree right now.
I just have to pick one, hmmm
Led Zep
probably one of the worst bands ever. I'd rather listen to Skrewdriver at their racist prime.
what you said
Oh really, judging by your artist ratings; you should know.
was marc riley
not in the fall for a very brief stint?
More than
just a brief stint - Check the cover of 'In a Hole'
jewdriver
rule the earth.
vegan reich
but they were nutters themselves
minor threat
and militant straightedgers. maybe.
yup
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardline_%28subculture%29
yes!
Nirvana
Sabotaged by horrible metallers.
cky
testing is such a cool tune. gtfo bam.
Panic At The Disco
Ignore Brendon Uri(n)e's annoying posing, and his mildly irritating voice (which I got used to after a while), and they are infact a very good band. It's just their fans are some of the most dreadful people in existance.
'essentially a blues band'
no, they were 70s rock. Which was blues influenced. Also, I've never heard Megadeth say they like Led Zep.
And The Stone Roses were utter shite.
My offering is Brand New, who are all too frequently lumped in with the nu-emo mob. When they are at least 100x better.
Could
say the same about Ramones, you know with all these trendy little gits going round wearing the tshirts who have never been anywhere near a Ramones CD, never mind a gig
black flag
and braindead scener-than-thou knuckle dragging 'hardcore' tough guys who think it's all about the violence.
