Might be a fun game for you night owls.
eg If you like Offspring you must like Blink 182. Personally I hate both.
You need to correctly predict that fans of band A will also like band B. If you name two bands and no fan of A chimes in slate band B then you win the internet.
If B gets dissed then you lose and get a spider put down the back of your shirt.
It will only work if people post honestly.
And of course it won't work if people don't post at all.
Brand New and Taking Back Sunday
quite like brand new
taking back sunday just disgust me.
^
actually, i fucking love Brand New to death
but detest Taking Back Sunday
^ pretty much
there was Taking Back Sunday song I found acceptable once, so I bought an album - biggest waste of money EVER, and I own Feeder's most recent album.
agreed
BN ftw.
TBS suck.
I like both.
The first TBS album is brilliant.
i like both
but i can see how people won't accept that- first albums only might work
yeah i suppose
first albums only then!
If you like Set Your Goals
you must like The Movielife!
That might work
But I love the Movielife and hate Set Your Goals, so I'm not really sure how that affects your argument.
i love the movielife
but am utterly indifferent to set your goals.
doh
*If you name two bands and no fan of A chimes in to slate band B then you win the internet.*
Pavement and The Fall
Love Pavement, pretty much unmoved by The Fall.
Haven't heard tons though.
Pavement rule
The Fall don't....in any way.
^this
^ this
the fall are pure shite. pavement are one of the best indie bands ever.
I like the Fall
I mostly couldnt care less about Pavement
If you like GY!BE then you'll like Yndi Halda.
NONONONONONO
That's probably because
Yndi Halda are better.
^WHAT.THE.FUCK
Go home
If you like Husker Du, you'll like Mission of Burma
surely
no-one'll argue with that???
hmm, husker du have never clicked with me
and although i've not heard many mission of burma songs, i really like them. SO THERE.
Wire - Gang of Four
Mansun - Suede
Aphex Twin - Squarepusher
The Cure - Siouxsie and the Banshees
..
wire-gang of four - yes
aphex twin-squarepusher- yes
the cure - great - siouxsie - awful
suede - great mansun - not so much
The Wire and Aphex ones were my "safe" bets
the Suede and Cure ones were a bit more risky.
If you like Kaiser Chiefs
then you must like touching little boys.
^
you win
If you like Venetian Snares
You will like Nero's Day At Disneyland. Try it, it works!
why? =
the postal service
ed rush and optical - om
nick cave - the national
I don't like the national and I like nick cave
sorry
Can't see Why?/Postal Service
Ed Rush and Optical/Om is a joke right?
i heart the postal service
but try as i might, remain unmoved by why,
the postal service - the album leaf
maybe
no
i dislike the postal service and love why? more than life. i know many who will agree.
Surely
It's easy
If you like Owls you like Joan of Arc
If you like The Minutemen you like Mike Watt and the Black Gang
If you like Pavement you like Stephen Malkmuss and The Jicks
If you like Faraquet you like Medications
If you like Karate you like Secret Stars
etc?
But if you like Nation of Ulysses you probably don't like Weird War
^this
Either way
It's not a very good game.
Well of course you wouldn't like it
You don't like anything.
Thanks
for that insight into me as a person.
I was only pointing out that it's a bit easy as there are tons of bands that it's very obvious people will like if they like another...
It was a joke.
Lighten up!
SAD FACE
:( etc
You forgot ;)
SMILE!
Nah, I like the idea
maybe I'll start looking at some of these acts people think I should like.
I heard you invented the biscuit game.
My game beats yours.
...
death cab - rogue wave
sufjan stevens - bright eyes
the postal service - the blow
urgh, sufjan is great
bright eyes is boring
bright eyes is nothing like sufjan
sufjan stevens is amazing... bright eyes is not a worthy comparison...
Stone Roses -
The Seahorses
The Beatles - Oasis
The Kooks - Aids
Or perhaps more seriously -
McLusky - Future Of The Left (is that cheating?)
tomahawk and fantomas
.
woah
I love the Beatles but I fucking hate Oasis!
Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - Super Furry Animals?
they sound nothing alike
No they don't
but everyone I know that likes Gorky's likes SFA at least to an extent; probably doesn't work the other way around though, so :P
i wasnt replying to you!
woah no need for !'s
.
If you like Neurosis
you must like Cult of Luna
arcade fire/wolf parade
Yea, pretty much
but I got the feeling the NMEs of this world will disagree
Fugazi/mclusky
If you like Pavement
You'll like Guided by Voices.
If you like Jens
You'll like The Magnetic Fields
bis - dweeb
mardy bums - arctic monkeys
If you like Spoon
you'll like The Shins.
Worst example of this in a record shop... Our Price in 1995. If you loved Nirvana, you'll love The Offspring.
A little part of me died when I read that.
The Smiths - Alphabeat
MSDMSMSM
If you like Beirut, you'd better like Neutral Milk Hotel.
Daft Punk - Digiatlism
GYBE - ASMZ
Blood Brothers - Glassjaw
Minus the Bear - American Football
EitS - Caspian
Stabbing yourself in your ears - Duffy
all pretty solid
however i can see tons of Blood Brothers fans turning their noses up at Glassjaw
GJ are miles better
By far!
Slipknot and Mushroomhead
^^^
fugazi are pure shite.
mclusky are possibly the best thing ever.
__
if you like fall out boy,
you like aids, cancer, paedophilia etc
you are a very sick puppy
Fugazi are so much better than mclusky
if you like
Kate Bush then you must like Tori Amos.
Wrong-a-thon
but...
if you like Kate Bush you will like Bat For Lashes
True
ish
bullshit
bat for lashes is subpar-amos
Don't shoot
the messenger. I've got graphs and and pie charts that prove it is fact.
Spineshank and Mudvayne
Incubus and Alien Ant Farm
Nope.
AAF can suck a fuck.
noo
again incubus far superior to AAF
Mogwai and Arab strap
Also if you like scouting for girls you must like the feeling. And I will hate you forever.
WHAT?
mogwai and arab strap? what are you on? just cuz they're both from glasgow does not make them in any way comparable.
if you like huggy bear you'll like nation of ulysses
if you like pavement you'll like sebadoh
if you like sonic youth you'll like gowns.
There's nothing wrong with the suggestion.
If someone hears a quality in them both then it's a valid punt.
Frankly, I was hoping people would be a bit adventurous in their suggestions anyway.
I also thought it would be interesting to see what dead certs came up not.
The idea was inspired by the eternally surprising revelation that a friend who shares really similar tastes to you will suddenly reveal that they hate a band you love and vice versa.
that's fair enough
but they have no similar qualities whatsoever outside of location. Just seems a bit silly to me.
actually they don't even have
location in common. Arab strap are from falkirk. I thought the point was to have if you like a you like b. Not a sound like b.
Sort of related..
if you love the Jo Whiley show you probably LOVE The Kooks & The Wombats
I was thinking that too
but she doesn't deserve the effort.
and..
prefuse 73 - daedelus
sonic youth - trail of dead
coldplay - high pitch dog whistles
Coldplay and
the sound of your own lonely gasp of ejaculate *pfft*ing out of your bellend.
I'd copyright 'lonely gasp of ejaculate' if I were you.
Otherwise you might see a number one album with that name soon.
I also like the idea of *pfft*ing.
Hang on baby, I'm about to *pfft*.
if you like:
the locust you will like Bon Iver
Kind of the other way round I guess...
but if you like Jamie Lidell, you are duty bound to enjoy (and check out) Otis Redding.
haha
: )
"Girl, I'm going
to *pfft* all over you tonight".
Maybe that's what Chris says to Gwyneth when they are living their Eco-Hollywood Lifestyle ...
"You sleep that side"
"No, you"
"It's your *pfft*"
"But Gwynnie.
it IS organic."
