Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2004 You know, I don't really like a lot of rock music from the 60s. I like a lot of pop, and there was some good soul and stuff going on. Sly & the Family Stone were putting out killer albums. My favorite stuff of theirs was from the 70s, but still. I suppose I'll go along with all rock music that matters starting with the Velvet Underground, but most of the scene, I guess you just had to be there.

Murmuring Beast 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2004 Pet Sounds is the least accessible Beach Boys album, but it is very good, if an acquired taste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anorak 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2004 The Clash were a crap pub rock band. I'd rather listen to the 5 or 6 good songs the Pistols did than anything by their supposed superiors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2004 I don't much care for the Clash outside of London Calling, which I love. The Sex Pistols, while undeniably important in music history, were mostly awful, though "Bodies" and "Anarchy in the U.K." were kinda fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2004 I love the first Clash album, but it's not amazing. I would certainly put them above pub rock. Now The Damned, that's ultimate pub rock. But I like that too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Replace Anarchy in the UK with New York, Submission and/or Revolution in the Classroom, and I agree. Anarchy is so overrated, I can barely listen to it.

B. Brian Brunzell 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2004 I prefer Motorhead's version of "God Save the Queen" over the Pistol's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2004 A version of Anarchy in the UK that's worse than the Pistols' version is Crue's, largely because Vince Neil attempts a fake accent. For some god forsaken reason I like Vince Neil, but I can't support that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted December 31, 2004 Idea for a cover band I thought of at work. Standing on the shoulders of they might be giants.
