Why don't the Chili peppers get more love here?

[pavementtune]

But I have a curiosity to see what netphoria's official main band would be (probably not the pumpkins, lol)

suggest some artists then, my head is too far up my own ass to come up with more

- The Smiths
- The Cure
- Pixies
- Chelsea Wolfe

[LaBelle]

I think these will get shot down immediately, but I haven't seen people mention:

- Echo and the Bunnymen
- R.E.M.
- Siouxsie and the Banshees
- Jesus and Mary Chain
- Bauhaus
- Sisters of Mercy
- Queen
- Thin Lizzy
- Pink Floyd
- New Order
- The Clash

[The exploding boy]

there's no way fuzzy likes the smiths or probably the cure for that matter. Unless we don't pay attention to him which means Bowie was still the better choice.

The thing is there's a lot of bands i'm not too crazy about but that i don't mind so much either. Pixies is kinda like that. I don't own one record (but have tried their whole discog at some point, well the early stuff) but there's at least half of dozen songs they have i think are alright too. So i wouldn't object either.

Fuzzy i think DOES like the pixies though...so...i suppose that might have to be the one if we count him.

[The exploding boy]

YEah what about The Clash?

[Elphenor]

Oh wait, Pixies has got to be the answer. There is no way someone dislikes them

[brutechinasky]

i'll throw in husker du
they haven't reunited and ruined their legacy yet

Don't be such a music snob kiddo

This is how I feel about LZ and yet that was apparently unacceptable

[ilikeplanets]

i like the pixies and the clash, the cure too for the most part

Yeah but whatever I'd still rather listen to The Ramones.

Music is not a sport

[ilikeplanets]

fuck no not zeppelin

[ilikeplanets]

ugh that voice is terrible

[Elphenor]

[ilikeplanets]

I can hear emotion in Billy's screeching. I only hear screeching out of Plant.

[ilikeplanets]

The guitar fuzz in SP makes up for it anyway. Nothing in LZ music takes me anywhere

Pretty sure an athlete should be able to handle the plastics from a water bottle

[Elphenor]

I like the emotion and sincerity in Billy's voice, it was never about it being technically good.

It became complete shit when he tried to make his voice technically good

[Elphenor]

A statement of just "better" doesn't make sense in music. What's good to you is not good to me.

Better how?

[The exploding boy]

Yeah...like oh yeah Plants lyrics are SO much more relatable for one...


Stop trying this objective bullshit.

[reprise85]

How about Zwan?

[ilikeplanets]

the marked

[ilikeplanets]

the jimmy chamberlain complex

[ilikeplanets]

fucking tinted windows

Not without context.

Jimmy Page is a better technical guitar player

LZ has had a greater impact on Rock music

Stuff like that you can say and I wouldn't even disagree

[Elphenor]

But just "better" doesn't make any sense.

Still probably more relatable than Plant's anyway if i'm honest...

I'm fine with it.


I generally don't care much for most rock pre punk era to be honest. With some exceptions. But in general.

The further rock moved away from blues the better to me.

[Elphenor]

Yeah the British 70's rock band that I like is Floyd
