Oasis is better than Pulp and Radiohead??

The Stone Roses are better than The Fucking Smiths?

I gotta stop participating in any non-business discussion on this board.

Radiohead had have a few decent albums but, at the end of the day all we want to hear is Creep followed by Karma Police and when that arrogant idiot Thom Yorke realises that the sooner the better.

Stone Roses better than the Smiths? Tough call, but Morrissey and Ian brown have also had equally successful solo careers, the two bands are just as good as each other. Though Johnny marr > John squire.

And Pulp are shite. Had a few good songs and thats it.

Yesterday is a GREAT song.

What genre is that? Obviously they were much bigger in the UK but are they still big there? I haven't heard of them much since the late 90's.

Stupidest shit I've heard all week. You obviously don't really listen to music.

I've never been to a radiohead show where they played either of those songs and it's because of people like you. I'd personally like to hear them but they've abstained from playing those songs just to weed out people like you from going to their shows. A real shame.

Roses vs. Smiths a tough call? wtf? Stone Roses have about 7 good songs, Smiths have 81. I hate people who like one or two songs from a band and don't have the decency or dignity to just say you don't really know or dig the rest of their stuff rather than passing an incredibly stupid judgment (i.e. Roses are better than Smiths). It's beyond personal preference. It's just plain retarded.

And Pulp is shite? I think it's time you cut your ears off.

I don't like the name considering the bands that are 'britpop' are not 'pop' at all, but here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britpop

Opinion invalid.

Why because I actually listen to music? much more music than you do? way more intently?

You're out of my league when discussing music. ANY music.

I'm a 22 year old senior double major in music and journalism, interning at the most respected independant music publication in the world.

I know more about music i hate than you know about music you love.

That's right :thumbsup

And guess what?

I do it for the love of it cuz god knows I've probably made 50 times more money than you have by the time you were 22.

:pimp

Read the link.. Oasis were Johnny-come-latelies to Brit Pop, they certainly didn't give birth to it. They just ended up in battle with Blur over who was the biggest.

Oasis... Ok they're the ones who did Wonderwall, right? That song has about three notes in it and sounds like someone singing through a water hose. I am not a huge Beatles fanatic but I really don't see how they compare.

Blur are one of three english bands I should love in theory but havn't really gotten into yet. The others being The Jam, and The Kinks.

And you call yourself a fucking music journalist. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

And I suppose you're well versed in every canonized artist in history?

The guy who said people only want to hear Creep and Karma Police?

That's what journalism is all about buddy. Having the dignity,decency, and sincerity to reserve judgment on something you aren't versed in. In your case that would be everything.

No, but as a music journalist, you should be well versed on 3 of the biggest bands in history. What a joke, no wonder the NME is so shit these days, they have people like you writing for them.

They're ok. I don't own any albums but they are immensely more interesting than Oasis. Thats why they've had more staying power. The Gallagher brothers are good for a quote, but it's Albarn who's outselling them with the Gorillaz. "Demon Days" trashed "Don't Believe the Truth" - the "good album" that surprised everyone for not being crap like the couple before that.

That's weird.. It's so hard NOT to like the Kinks, also given - in the context of this thread - their popularising of distortion and powerchords and their place in rock history.
Who doesn't like "You Really Got Me" and "All Day And All Of The Night", not to mention their evolution, later masterpieces like "Waterloo Sunset" and even weird stuff like "Lola". It's worth at least a greatest hits compilation (as long as it leaves the metal stuff out ;))

Well don't get me wrong I didn't say I don't like them I just said I haven't fallen in love with any of their albums. Most likely because I haven't given them enough listens. The last time I listened to the supposed masterpiece Village Green was when I was 19 and it simply didn't click. Aside from that I know and love many songs by these guys especially the Kinks' Come Dancing and The Jam's cover of the Supremes' Heatwave.

14 year old boys are always confused as hell. Not shocked.

I really like Pulp, but I think they get overlooked because some of their songs are just plain and simply amusing and I don't mean that in a bad way.

I love Pulp because of the beautiful melodies and incredible lyrics that express the pains and perversions of lust, aging, and regret like no one ever has. From a technical standpoint Jarvis Cocker's chord progressions are very unusual and deceptively simple. Full of weird and constant changes between major and minor keys within the same measures. I Spy, This Is Hardcore, and Underwear are examples of that and I believe those songs have some of the best progressions and arrangements in the history of pop music.

Wow this made it to 100 posts, dayum
