Special K 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 If we have an entire thread devoted to Ashley 'fuckin' Simpson, I think We can devote some love to the Rock. What rock bands do you like? Nirvana. I'm 24 from Seattle, it's a logical place to start. Pixies Ween Sleater Kinney Breeders Sonic Youth Dead Kennedys Clash Offspring Yeah Yeah Yeahs (too bad they sucked live) Violent Femmes Blonde Redhead Bjork semi-qualifies. And is a musical genius, no hyperbole. Guitar Wolf. Bad Brains. So what what non-heavy-metal band do you love? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 I like lots of rock bands. Something somewhat unusual is that I love hair metal, and the culture associated with it. Both the ultra-debauched rock star version, and the homeless vampire version you'd see bumming around Sunset Blvd. in the late 80s. There should be novels written about them, they're more interesting than punks, punks're overexposed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 In terms of what I'd actually categorize as "rock", the only rock bands that I like are Monster Magnet and AC/DC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 "Rock" is a catch-all term for any band with a guitar. "Rock and roll" should only be reserved for an act that encompasses elements of 50s/60s rock, ie soul and the blues. The Dirtbombs are one of the few rock and roll bands around, I think.

Special K 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 Well, going by that definition, I just wanted to start a discussion about 'rock'. If you subcategorize everything, you'd probably only be left with the Stones and the Kinks as 'rock and roll'. (I like them too.) I would say the only band I included that I wouldn't categorize as 'rock' is Bjork. That was a bad decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2005 I thought it was "FUCK YOU, PAY ME". That would be slightly better. Also, naming Kenny G in "Rock n Roll" didn't really help his message. That's shooting a deer in a cage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Myxamatosis 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2005 That shit was too funny. He compares Coltrane to Kenny G? For one, it puts his limited education on jazz or softer forms of music on display and two, it's just lame to say Kenny G sucks. We know it, get over it.
