Don't get me wrong I really like all the choices, but putting it in perspective: A skateboard is a piece of wood with wheels.
I am the Walrus or Hot on the Heels of Love? Tough choice!
Come Together or Hamburger Lady? It's up to you!
Or maybe you prefer Atrocity Exhibition.
DISCIPLINE!! WE NEED SOME DISCPLINE IN HERE!!!

Throbbing Gristle. When listening to "Revolution 9", some experimental stuff by John Lennon & Yoko Ono, George Harrison's pre-cosmic music works or even McCartney's "Temporaray Secretary", it appears clearly that TG went to a direction that the Beatles only began to initiate. Would have John Lennon not been killed, we can bet that the reunited Beatles would have go boldly to the same direction as TG. |

There's no way to compare them, but I voted Throbbing Gristle anyway because I love them and I wanted to even the score a little.

They were supposedly the first Industrial unit. or....they actually weren't aware of being innovators and so it wasn't a plan they developed or anything like that. They were sick and morbid. Supposedly they were making references to life around them just as Zappa often did. If someone was wearing out their welcome in my house, I would put on "In the Shadow of the Sun" which was a nightmare soundtrack that scared people to death..although I found it to be humourus because it was laughable how the band couldn't play their instruments very well. A creepy section in particular where sick cries and morbid screams are distant. That still scares me to this day. Distant sing song chanting and I know those sounds ...for I used to hear them across a field which lead into the woods. But ..in the end..you can feel comfortable in the knowledge that it is only a record. Don't listen to "Subhuman" unless you have friends who are in mental hospitals and actually cover the song. Short of that, it takes getting used to. I can't handle the tape recorded voice of the sicko walking you through steps on how he killed a 10 year old girl. Ian Brady is very sick and I can't handle the 3 volumes of Annual Report. 20 Jazz Funk Greats was kind of cute..but with a sick cover. Funeral In Berlin is nothing more than noise. I like In the Shadow of the Sun.

Whatever you do, don't search any images of Cosi Fanni Tutti and Genesis P'orridge pre-TG. They were a couple and were both "performance artists" who were unabashed about their own nudity, especially Fanni. They committed a few unsavory acts for the sake of their "art." ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

| The cover of TG'S Greatest Hits features Cozy with bedroom eyes and that is strange. Her guitar sounds like a vaccum cleaner.My God ..are they ever disturbing. I tend to find a dosage of humour in their music. If you desire to call it music? As I said before...people would play their albums to put a scare into a person they disliked. People long ago..often associated T.G. with the Residents or Tuxedomoon. It was somehow fitting to spin all of their records for hip but disturb individuals. They were scary and I disliked the cover of the 3rd and final report. What was the point of placing a innocent looking little girl on that record jacket? That always seemed suggestive to me and I disliked it. They were a bit too disturbing. Never mind. |

Throbbing Gristle of course. The Beatles were a bunch of happy, happy drug addled innovators. Throbbing Gristle were a bunch of sick demented drug addled British freaks who managed to be just as innovated and important imo. Watch this interview Kati, and you'll need all you need to know about TG. -------------

Without a shadow of doubt I pick The Beatles. From what I've heard about TG, I wouldn't want to listen to them because they are offensive. Plus, I prefer "A Day in the Life" over songs like "Hamburger Lady". ------------- "Do not do to others as you don't want done to yourself."- Confucius |
