Out of Silversun Pickups, The Joy Formidable and Yuck.....

[Catherine Wheel]

Which band is the most creative?
Which band do you think will have the most success?
Which band has the best musicianship?

[soniclovenoize]

All three are extremely derivative and offer nothing new. Why not look for bands that are moving forward rather than worshiping 90s-nostolgia acts?

[Catherine Wheel]

I listen to a lot of other more interesting new stuff. Wild Beasts and the Deerhunter guy's side project Atlas Sound for example.

But lately I've gotten kind of hooked on Yuck in particular. And I just listened to Swoon again after not hearing it for a while and have grown kind of fond of it.

gee these silversun pickups sure do sound alot like the pumpkins

[MyOneAndOnly]

Joy Formidable has the most potential.

oh get over yourself

[Netphorian Gadabout]

Creative? Yuck by a millimeter.
Most success? Silversun Pickups.
Best Musicianship? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Catherine Wheel]

Joy Formidable are the least accessible of the three. They are by far the noisiest and most dissonant sounding. There is a real punk rock quality to their music.

Yuck are the most accessible / catchiest. Also the most straightforward.

Silversun Pickups are somewhere in the middle. There is an edge to them but also a prettiness and softness that Joy Formidable tend to lack. They are also probably the most derivative.

[Eulogy]

I mean seriously, I enjoyed all three upon first listen, but then I realized my enjoyment was actually 90s nostalgia. So when I put those emotions aside, I realized how unimportant all three were.

Who listens to music putting emotions aside to realize that the music is not "important" enough? That`s like having sex with a sheep with your eyes closed just for the sake of having sex and being able to brag about it.

well that didn't answer the question at all

[The Omega Concern]

The Joy Formidable already have a nice body of work for themselves. I like the style of the songs the guy sings in as it creates some actual depth to their overall sound. Their tones are an original wash because the girl uses the ole Line6 2x12 and she's found success with it where most muso's wouldn't even try. Kudos to her.

Because the question is irrelevant.

[Dogfighter28]

soniclovenoize hates fun

[TuralyonW3]

Yuck has that one good song and the rest of the album is zzzzzzz

Silversun have coll guitars at times but a lot of mediocre songs, and they're kinda overwrought

Joy formidable has some fantastic songs, and they don't have any really lame songs. They win

[TuralyonW3]

To answer the original poster I don't think any of the three bands are particularly creative, good musicians, or will have much success beyond the following they have now

[Trotskilicious]

well the silversuns already peaked

yuck probably has too

joy formidable is on the twilight soundtrack

[redbull]

joy formidable
silversun
joy formidable

[Trotskilicious]

i like yuck, thought it was a good album

[redbull]

me too, and they're good live
but joy formidable are a better band

lol ok

so is the fact that the joy formidable is "unimportant," but that didn't stop you from asserting it. you're so obnoxious.

That's the mentality AC/DC and 70's rock fans had of the grunge bands at the outset. The AIC's, PJ, Soundgarden and the Pumpkins were a throwback to 70's AOR (album oriented rock).

besides all that -- If you can't tell that the Silversun Pickups are a derivative and The Joy Formidable are innovative, then I can't value your musical opinion that highly. Not a big deal of course, just sayin.

[slunken]

when you dance i can really love kind of sounds like cinammon girl

Holy shit did you just call me scottytheoneand?

Wow, that's fucked up.
