Avril Lavigne's first album is awesome.
Death Cab is an excellent band.
Uh.
Muse sucks. Like, MASSIVELY. I can't even listen to them.
Radiohead totally lives up to the hype.
The Pumpkins are one of the best bands ever to break into the mainstream.

I can accept most musical views, other than when people like manafactured radio garbage.

Also I really, really just do not understand people that don't like The Beatles. I mean like... what? I can understand if you don't love them as much as everyone else, but just flat out disliking them, after adequately sampling their music? How does that even happen?

It's called living a miserable existence.

Somewhere in my heart I can acknowledge and respect every opinion posted here except this one.

This band does not deserve to be lumped together with Taking Back Sunday or Thrice or any of that other shit.

I agree that there are shoegazer bands that were better than MBV. Ride's Nowhere actually came out before Loveless as did Kitchens of Distinction's Strange Free World. They deserve credit for releasing the first shoegazer albums. Slowdive and Swervedriver were also superior bands.

I like Radio Dept.'s "Lesser Matters" better than all of these.

aussie hip hop is just terrible

Never heard of Radio Dept. I'll try to check them out.

i haven't really heard TBS but thrice have definitely been trying harder since they started doing their elemental concept albums. a lot of variety and attention to aesthetic. i don't think they're great or anything but they've improved markedly since that first record.

I saw thrice live once and was severely underwhelmed. They did a lot of what I'm assuming is their early material, but played some songs off the "water" album...mostly I-Can-Be-Deep-Too elctro-garbage. I did think that the concept of doing a set of albums based on elements was a cool idea though.

When you say "thinking man's emo", are you refering to The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me? Because I wouldn't consider that "Emo" at all.

[Runsaber]

I gave Dookie a listen today, and was shocked to find that the lyrical content currently speaks to me more personally than I'd like to admit. Ironic, considering it was the first album I ever bought, years and years ago.
Aside from that depressing fact, it still fucking rocks. It's probably the best pop/punk album ever.

i loved the 1st record/bsides, the 2nd/3rd had some decent songs but they've sucked pretty bad since. nirvana are definitely overrated though.

[pale blue eyes]

Don't go lumping The Colour and Shape in with their third album and what has come after. It is as good if not better than their first album.

[smashingjj]

Definitely better.

i used to think this too but now i think it's more that i prefer the sound on LTT to any of nirvana's records.

yeah, i think i just changed my mind on nirvana again..it's more like this.
i'd have to say okc just edges out the bends though.
and of course on mcis

yeah i guess you're right [about lumping it in w/ the 3rd, not about it being as good as the first]. i like the 3rd about as much though.

[Rockin' Cherub]

the third is so bad i stopped being into them right after i heard it

but even colour and the shape is only good because of everlong

most of above should have been b-sides, and exchanged for the good zero and 1979 b-sides

ok this is all just crazy talk
and take me down is one of sp's best songs. top 10 for me. makes me cry almost every time. yep.

everything mbv released [including the pre-"realise" stuff] is good
