Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

[tribey]

Australian society is stupid. Nickelback are universally laughed at and yet shit like Jet, Powderfinger, 21st century Silverchair and the Foo Fighters are talked about as great Aussie (well, not the Foo Fighters) bands. They're all just as generic and shit as each other. I'd rather listen to How You Remind Me than any song the above quartet has released.

21C Silverchair are like, my ultimate pet peeve.

Still can't fathom the cred/sales that Straight Lines got. Would rather have a school of piranha ejaculated into my anus by a HIV-addled gent wearing a Sunderland shirt.

 

[Jonts]

People think about music way too much.

I don't know who or what How You Remind Me is/are but I agree with everything you said.

Just on the "chair" I respect Daniel Johns for branching out and trying different musical genres and styles. He didn't play it safe with his faux grunge so kudos for that. It is a shame for him and the Australian public everything he ever did was shit.

The Dissociatives.

God The Dissociatives were shit.

Favourite Aussie Album?

 

[powermacs]

I must say the half time entertainment at the granny this year is amazing.

 

[Portia]

The golden rule is that any band that wins an ARIA award is shit.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

I'm gonna go with X - Aspirations or Midnight Oil - Place without a Postcard or Rowland S Howard - Teenage Snuff Film or The Scientists - Blood Red River or Beaches - Beaches or about a million others.

Favourite ever Adelaide album? - The Primevils - Chicken Factory or The Mark Of Cain - Battlesick.

No, you mustn't.

Well I'm not sure how old people think I am, but to contribute to the musical nature of the current conversation in this thread, here are my most undderated bands ever (bands I can't believe aren't huge goliaths that continue to sell out stadiums around the world):

City Boy (like the missing link between Queen and ELO)
Type O Negative (throw Black Sabbath, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and 90s goth into a blender)
Ugly Kid Joe (attitude-driven street rock at its finest)
Soul Asylum (the masters of writing ridiculously depressing songs that sound happy)
Danger Danger (imagine if Bon Jovi had bigger and better hits)
Enuff Z'Nuff (The Beatles to Cheap Trick to Enuff Z'Nuff is kinda like the progression)
Love/Hate (attitude-driven street rock at its finest)

Edit: Decided to add descriptions.

Type O Neg are awesome! October Rust is one of my fav albums. Shame Peter Steele died.

Risking a ban posting a band with this name, but I technically didn't type the words!

 

[powermacs]

No, you mustn't.

Yes I should. #iwin

I felt a sense of loss when Seth Putnam died. He was my only friend on Facebooks.

And I liked his sense of humour and musical stylings.

Had been pretty much on his death bed since about Christmas. A truly unheralded Adelaide legend.

Missed the Oz part, but anyway, still stands I have not heard of any of that stuff.

Now that was a strange movie....

But as a Spotifier yourself you will appreciate the ability to have all these brilliant playlists (Eurythmics going as we speak) at the touch of a finger!!

Dig up the Tears for Fears, I had forgotten that they aren't total rubbish.

It is actually pretty amazing. I just hit some playlist that was '80's' and had about 400 songs on it. Was going through them and going, holy crap, I liked this song!! Tears were good!
