Sonic Johnny · 07-31-2015, 05:40 AM

Man it's a hot one

Mals Marola · 07-31-2015, 11:48 AM

zeppelin aren't overrated, the songs just aren't always that great

redbull · 07-31-2015, 03:28 PM

songwriting isn't really the point of zeppelin, people shredding the fuck out of electric blues is

you could go further and add The White Album and Abbey Road, but then that goes beyond a 3 year span. Oh well, I hate arbitrary rules.

LaBelle · 08-01-2015, 08:31 AM

Wait, Smash Mouth has more than one album and a single?

yes

they are also walking on the sun

reprise85 · 08-01-2015, 05:47 PM

and doing bad covers in hell

Dogfighter28 · 08-01-2015, 05:55 PM

the thing is the guitar player wrote all their songs, and he is a fantastic writer.

he never wanted to license any of their music, but he was the anti-BillCo, letting democracy rule, and the other guys wanted mo money

his lyrics are consistently clever, and the arrangements/production on their early albums are really great. but shrek and annoying singer so they suck lol

I am a little confused by this. Are we actually referring to the three-year period commencing with what might be regarded as a given band's breakthrough album?

You're right. Initial isn't really the word I should've used. I guess what I really meant to say was which 90's band had the best 3 year run in the 90's cause I wanted to focus strictly on the 90's output.

Pavement(92-94) is one I definitely forgot to add

D. · 08-01-2015, 06:19 PM

Dogfighters championing Smash Mouth so much almost has me taking the plunge and downloading some Smash Mouth albums.

D. · 08-01-2015, 06:20 PM

One of my favorite bands of all time is Marcy Playground so I definitely understand the "BETTER THAN THEIR ONE HIT" attitude.

Dogfighter28 · 08-01-2015, 06:21 PM

fush yu mang is a fun album. if you only like "serious music" you will hate it. but i think its just fun to listen to

D. · 08-01-2015, 06:27 PM

were you hip to them in 97 or whenever when they played "walkin' on the sun" at the ESPYS? that goes down as one of the worst performances i've ever seen. looks like it is not online but i just remember thinking "this is the not only the worst thing i've ever heard but it's also totally the wrong venue - sportsball people looking stone-faced and self-conscious".

like, weird al fun? because i cannot with weird al.

Dogfighter28 · 08-01-2015, 06:33 PM

1) Smash Mouth is the worst live band I have ever seen (not in person, but in footage)
2) Walkin' on the Sun was my fav song when i was like 12.
3) The music is fun and the lyrics are clever, but I would say its closer to something like Weezer in tone than Weird Al. Though they do have some fun novelty songs

Haha I was thinking the same. They're a band I never checked out at all (aside from the singles of course). As was mentioned, it was probably all of those shitty covers that turned me off

Disco King · 08-01-2015, 07:59 PM

Good thread, Fuzzyroes. My answer is going to have to be The Smashing Pumpkins.
