Zarklephaser...

Out of curiousity, what's the need to necromance 1-3 year old threads?

You've done it to almost twenty threads, and added next to nothing to them... Is there a purpose?

Are you a puppet just trying to bring attention to yourself? Or simply lack the energy to start a new thread? Enquiring minds want to know.

 

Zark:
"Joy Division!"

* You are not alone friend! ... Isolation!

 

Usually a bunch of people will add to a thread after its revival. That alone makes it worth the effort. There are a lot more interesting threads in the back pages of Sciforums than on the front page. Do you have a problem with it?

 

totally agree with you zarklephaser

 

The Beatles, you fools. I don't give a fuck how many records they have or haven't sold, but they innovated like no-one before them or since. Forget the 4 grinning, head-shaking mop-tops (revolutionary though they were at the time) and buy (or download) copies of (a) Rubber Soul; (b) Revolver; and (c) The Beatles (aka The White Album). These 3 records alone make 99% of what followed utterly redundant. Oasis? Don't make me vomit.

 

Well, the Beatles are obviously more important than Oasis in the grand scheme of things, but I do not think that Oasis was utterly redundant in comparison. They showed a lot of Beatles influence on their first two albums, but the songs were so damn good that it was irrelevant, and besides, the brothers Gallagher clearly took inspiration from the Rolling Stones, the Who, the Kinks, the Smiths, and the Stone Roses as well. Every band has its influences; the Beatles are just the easiest for critics to reference because they are the most universally known and revered of those bands. By the third album, I would argue that Oasis had evolved into something all its own.

 

You forgot to mention the Sex Pistols.

And there's one essential difference between Oasis, on the one hand, and all of those aforementioned bands on the other.

All of those other bands fucking meant it.

I just don't get this impression with Oasis, who've always seemed happier hob-nobbing at celebrity parties than concentrating on making the best music that they can possibly make. Fucking part-timers.

 

anyone here like rammstein?

 

red hot chillie peppers are okay, never heard of rammstien.

 

Favorite band....

Led Zeppelin
Opeth

 

The Libertines
Joy Division
The Strokes
The Beatles

 

I can't believe they only came up once! The White Stripes are absolutely amazing. If all you've ever heard is 'seven nation army' then get some more right now.

The White Stripes!

 

Ball & Biscuit is one amazing song.

The guitar solo should be listened to by anyone who picks up a guitar.

 

Led Zeppelin. Now let's close this thread.

 

foo fighters as far as i'm concerned.

and all you europeans: quit hogging my FOO!

 

Hands down its the Beatles. I have to agree with redarmy11. They innovate like no one before them or since. They had the ability to sound different on almost each album they did. From the early Ed Sullivan days to the last heavy days of hard hitting metal rips and drug induced music. Not like most other bands that keep the same sound album after album. Take Van Halen for example. I love them. There stuff is awesome. But lets face it. It all has the same sound. As soon as you hear Eddie's guitar scream...you know its VH. They did have a little bit of a different sound when Haggar was leading but it was still Eddie's guitar that defined their sound. The Beatles on the other hand experimented with different instruments and different sounds. Risky...Hell yeah. They took a chance on loosing their Fab Four Faithful listeners, but they took the chance and gained some new listeners. And another thing...ask any band or musician who their influences were and 8 times out of ten they're gonna say the Beatles. Have you ever actually listens to Helter Skelter? Way, way, way ahead of their time. They dealt with love, hate, politics, religion, and just about every issue known to man. Then look at them after the split. George kept going. Paul gave birth to Wings (another great band on its own right - a lot of old Beatles sound, but great stuff never-the-less) and John...Oh what can I say about John. Listen to the words on Imagine. What genius! ....and Ringo...well there is always a Ringo in every band. I once read an article (I think it was Rolling Stone..not sure) that commented on each band members importance to the band. I quote (to the best of my memory) "What each member of the Beatles brought to the Beatles...George was the quite one, consumed in love and a higher power. He brought spirituality to the group. John was the literary genuis. He educated them all and he brought poetry and intelligence to the group. Paul was the pretty boy with the voice and a sense of woo. He brought harmony to the group. And Ringo...well Ringo played drums." I think thats about the way it went. Anyway you get the point. I hear so many bands today that carry that Beatles influence in their music (Jet being a perfect example), but to cap it all off. There never was and there will never be a band as great and as cool as and powerful and as historically placed as the Beatles (The Stones are a close second). And as near and dear as they are to my heart and to redarmy11's heart, there is no reason to become irrate or sharped touged about the whole subject. Remember redarmy11..."all you need is love" and "give peace a chance.
