"classic" bands
beatles, beach boys, rolling stones, the kinks, the byrds, led zeppelin.
i dislike all of them, and i'm very often "right" when it comes to the music i like in terms of what the critics prefer. why listen to the byrds when you have rem and the smiths? why listen to rolling stones wimpy rock and roll when the stooges and replacements exist? smart british pop ? i'd go for blur instead of the kinks any day. people say the beach boys make beautiful music. there is nothing on pet sounds that gives me even close to the same satisfaction as let down on ok computer or nice dream from the bends. what is wrong with me?

and when it comes to depressing and beautiful music, there are billions of 80's and 90's bands i'd rather listen to.

I agree with you.
I can listen to these bands and enjoy their music just fine, but I really have no desire to hear any of them. When I'm listening to what I want to listen to, there are bands I prefer over all of those you listed. I would add the Eagles to that list as well. If I want country tinged pop rock, I'll take Wilco over them anyday. What is wrong with us?

i think it's more about what was big at the time. the bands you listed from the 60's and such were the first of the rock variety that really stuck with people on a large commercial scale, and they get carried into each decade.
you like r.e.m. now, but 20 years from now some kid will say "what's the big deal with r.e.m.?" but i somewhat agree with your general statement. personally, i like all those bands except for the beatles. their songs irritate my ears. "love love me do, you know i love you......hey jude blah blah blah blah....." - it doesn't connect to me in any way. |

maybe we're too emotionally imbalanced to like artists that are a bit more middle of the road. i'd rather hear mark kozelek whine about his 500th crashed relationship than a religious dork like brian wilson sing about how hard it is to miss your home.

You're forgetting that there would be no Replacements without bands like the Rolling Stones, and especially Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. And Blur over the Kinks, well that's just absurd. So I guess we all have a different definition of "Right"
and I hope for the majority, it is not what most critics say. |

but why did you mention it at all if i didn't say anything about weather the replacements was influenced by those bands or not? it's like i suddenly would write : slavery is wrong. and you'd go "yeah, but i've never said i like slavery, so it's pretty irrelevant". |

I began with"You're forgetting..." so I did recognize the subject was not in you're initial post, I just thought it needed to be said. I love the Mats, I love the Stones, this discussions going nowhere.

You proved your point I was wrong, but Dean Koontz writes crappy novels (just thought it needed to be said)

I'm pretty down with most of the classic bands. Especially Sabbath, Zeppelin, and Floyd! But 90's and 00's resonates more emotionally with me.
