Buffalo Springfield:
Don't forget Richie Furray and Jim Messina who went on to found Poco. Then Messina joined up with Kenny Loggins in the early 70's Loggins and Messina. Very talented band. Had hits with For What it's Worth, Bluebird (Another song Steven Stills wrote about Judy Colllins), Rock and Roll Woman, Mr. Soul, Expecting to Fly and On the Way Home. They lasted about 1.5 years and they were done.

Now I suddenly need to find a copy of Buffalo Springfield Again again. *hums Mr. Soul to himself*

You know, punk isn't bad. Greenday isn't punk, as they claim, they're just emo, and my new signature will clear things up about my opinio on emo and the so-called revolution /breath of fresh air it represents.Punk bropught us The Melvins, who in turn gave us King Buzzo (Buzz Osbourne), who brought us FANTOMAS . The last decent punk band were, IMO, Nirvan. Since then, no notable band has ever respected the punk aesthetics, if you get my drift

Teenage sucks hard -- Emo sucks even harder
Epic. Simply epic.

This Rock fellow must be a pretty big jerk if all these guys keep spitting in his face.

Yeah, I think spitting in the face of The Rock would be a very bad idea. The last thing you would ever see would be the People's Eyebrow, and then just blackness.

Progressive death metal certainly deserves to be in the archives, because they have more in common with prog rock than they do traditional death metal.

I think all new and exciting music is by definition alternative. I mean, come on!! There's no way you can convince me Green Day is more alternative than, oh I don't know, Syd Barrett or King Crimson. Noone wakes up and says to himself, 'Man, this Peter Gabriel guy is a f**king sissy with his undead child molestors and medieval blood baths... I want something alternative... gimme that Simple Plan CD, bitch!'

A friend of mine told me she liked the new Green Day album because it reminded her of songs and albums from her youth (in the 70s) which told a story. This is not a teen, or even a desperately trendy 20 or 30-something...this is a woman in her 40s whose tastes are typically mature and open-minded.
I'm a lot less generous with my opinions in real life, so I didn't treat her to my overwhelmingly negative criticisms of the band and album. But it made me think, anyway.

Today at lunch,my friends and I were swapping
CD's, when one of my friends, Rob came over. I asked him if he wanted
to borrow my Led Zep' CD, and he said alright. Two seconds into "Black
Dog" and he said they simply sucked. I couldn't believe it. He said the
only band for him was Green Day.They suck. Every "cool" kid in my
school likes them,and it totally ruins the bands originality. What's
more, soon everyone will forget the classics, and the artists with true
talent. Do you guys actually like this crap? I can barely distinguish
one note from another, it sounds so bad.
No? |
Going off with this point, myfriends like some pretty good stuff (Led
Zeppelin, The Beatles, Queen) and lots of other old stuff. In my school
i was thinking kids started liking old stuff more. I don't know it
might just be me. Oh and that review is ridiculous, if he had been
living for at least 25 years you think his taste in music may have
progressed past Green Day...

Have any of you actually heard the album? Thought not!

I downloaded the two (three?) longish tracks from it, in the hope that it was some form of revelation. It was slightly interesting for one or two listens, but ultimately very similar to any other Green Day song, but longer and with the odd time signature changeup (i think).

Green Day is nothing to do with emo! Emo's usually has screamy vocals and heavy playing, a la Rites of Spring, or even dry, drawn out arty writing like Drive Like Jehu and hasn't had any popular bands since 1995 or so!

I saw on the cover of a recent "Entertainment Weekly:"
"GREEN DAY SAVE ROCK."
From Entertainmentweekly.com:
| Jolly Green Giants
How Green Day saved rock -- and their own career. The elder statesmen of pop-punk talk about longevity, Grammys, and crafting their smartest album yet: ''American Idiot'' by Tom Sinclair

FRUITFUL EFFORT With ''American Idiot,'' Dirnt, Cool, and Armstrong have rocketed to the top of the charts.
