You think Soundgarden affected Queens of the Age's success?

[The exploding boy]

Watched the Rollins thing on Moz and I have to say the November Spawned a Monster video was my introduction to Morrissey in like 1991 and i was a bit like..ok what the fuck is this? It used to annoy me whenever it came on.

now i don't feel that happens at all. or if it does it is very traditional and rare, almost from a purest attitude.

idk not concrete thoughts but just shooting the shit

This is how I got into all the bands I love...one band leads to another band who influenced another band that had members in this other band and so on.

i think outside of DM and cure, the output of the rest is too uneven to really say for sure it's better than pre-breakup SP. And i still like New Order more than SP.

for my money JD is more misses than hits (but the hits are really good) and MBV has one good record.

[The exploding boy]

SP is better than Boston and Rush and Cheap trick. Not like that was hard though.

[brutechinasky]

mkay

[brutechinasky]

[brutechinasky]

By what metric

[Elphenor]

SP is not better than The Cure though no way not in any dimension

You're right, I don't.

I find Rush to be basically unlistanable

[Trotskilicious]

i don't like rush either

Pink Floyd is always an acceptable answer.

I wouldn't try to disagree with someone who said they're the greatest band ever

[brutechinasky]

but pink floyd is def dadrock

[Elphenor]

The Wall is but I still hold that album in a very special place

Syd Barrett stuff is the "cool" Pink Floyd stuff to like I would suppose.

[Elphenor]

Syd was a true genius

Piper at the Gates still holds up as the best psychedelic pop I've ever heard and I keep searching and searching

[brutechinasky]

i hope you've heard his solo albums

[Elphenor]

So good

[The exploding boy]

They might have millions of fans but Rush is such a niche band. Either you're THAT kind of nerd or you're not. And if you're not, there's no argument that can make you believe Rush is good. I do respect them though. Dad rock, no. Rock for people who love maths, yes.

[Elphenor]

It really is the type of band Math people love. I'm not saying it's inherently a bad thing, just not for me.
