What do people on here think of the band Garbage?
 

Yeah.

nah

HOLY SHIT LISTEN TO SOMETHING ELSE FOR FUCKS SAKE

they are very true to their name

did the OP just discover them? I really hate to think people going back to the 90s without any context and reviving bands like Garbage and Everclear.

self-titled is still real good. version 2.0 sounds really dated but still has its moments. everything after that is just bad (with a few exceptions like Parade, Nobody Loves You, Tell Me Where it Hurts).

not bad for what was probably supposed to be a one-album experiment or whatever

pretty good

it's worse. OP is probably stuck with the taste he had when he was 13.

other bands he likes will be radiohead, nin, a perfect circle and primus

you know there's a lot of underground/indie shit from the mid 90s that's worth listening to more than fucking garbage

VOMIT FOREVER

we should make this an 90s indie/underground thread





There's a decent start.

thread would just be full of hum, slint, modest mouse and all the usual suspects

all better than garbage though

i had to listen to garbage's 'as heaven is wide' probably eighteen hundred times thanks to the very limited gran turismo 1 soundtrack. :dammit:

but as far as shirley manson is concerned: would do.

I've never heard self titled other than the singles but Version 2.0 is pretty good.

I have the first album. I can't remember what it sounds like that well actually, it's been a lot of years since I listened to it. I think I only thought it was mediocre back when I was 15, so it's probably not very good.

besides why is there so much elitism with music fucks anyway, nobody actually wants to say the obvious because then they won't be "cool" or something and we still haven't fixed the central problem that people still listen to Garbage

oh i like all those bands, it just gets tiresome when the internet tells you for the 100th time that lonesome crowded west is a good album. i'd prefer to be exposed to something new, or at least show cool different things to others

i youtubed "carry the zero" the other day. man it's been so long - totally took me back.

but it is there best album. i recently learned this.

well, duh!!

this, word for word

Apparently they ripped off this band:

that is fucking awesome, getting it now

Lillies Dying from that album is pretty intense.

i haven't really thought about garbage since the early aughts, tbh

not everything is about you.

Exactly.

i like elastica better

it was my first introduction to wire

I like, one of my favs after Smashing Pumpkins, NIN and Nirvana.

Garbage are my joint favourite band with SP. Absolutely unbeatable songwriting. I even wrote a message to Shirley on facebook recently and she replied :smoke:

I think you should listen to this band instead.

holy christ have you listened to music at all

i mean fuck superchunk it sounds like you need to go back to the beatles, stones, zep and the velvets because that's just ignorant man

I listened to my 2.0 cassette a shitload in 7th grade while playing San Francisco Rush on N64

1st 2 albums good


one of my fav 90s songs yo



remember this one?



interesting interpolation/ripoff/whatever of beatles' 'no reply'


blahblah, they were cool for a while yeah

in the context of music, garbage were an irrelevant band.

lovvvvvvvvvvvvved the first two albums. third one was highly mixed, fourth was okayface.

overall tho, love shirley, one of my fav rock "stars". so i'll always give em a chance. butch is a good guy too.

I especially like their early material that sounds like trip hop (Milk, Queer, The Trick Is to Keep Breathing, You Look So Fine)
