*no I'm not trying to boost post count, I'm just retarded and can't remember everything I want to post until after I hit the post button*
vurbal, would you be so kind as to recommend the two Living Color albums a feller should start off with? I got to remembering them last night after reading your post and I can't believe I'd forgotten about them.

It depends on how much you like more conventional music vs. more experimental. Judging from previous posts it sounds like you'd get into the stuff that's a little further outside the mainstream, so I'd have to recommend Time's Up and CollideOscope. The first one is over 10 years old now, and it has their original bass player (one of the best I've ever heard). The second one was released last year when they got back together after something like 8 years apart. It's got a much harder edge, which they seemed to develop after they changed bass players (before they broke up in the '90s). I'd try to describe their sound, but the description would be something like Punk/Jazz/Funk/Blues/Soul/Island-Metal (with a lot of Industrial influence on the more recent one) so I guess it's safer to say it can't be described - just experienced.

ok you guys REALLY need to come to our IRC channel. I saw gwar on the hell-o tour (first album) in a freaking howard johnson's hotel in the conference room. everything was ground level and the slaves were running around hosing stuff, it was a blast. I also like the early industrial (well what we called industrial) like big black, rapeman, shellac (yeah, all steve albini). oooold butthole surfers, I'd kill for Live Puppet in mp3. Lets not forget bands like Kreator, Cryptic Slaughter, napalm death, and Slayer's first 6 albums.
lately I've really been into Tool, i've seen them a few times live, great shows. I'v been jamming them for 5 days straight now. damn maynard has a set of pipes.

BTW, ya think Leon was tempted? heh heh

Thanks vurbal, Time's Up and CollideOscope it will be :)
@darth
Finally a fellow Gwar fan! Have you ever listened to their side project X-Cops? If you haven't you need to pm me ;)
I'm a big Tool fan as well. Maynard and those boys certainly have some magic in what they do. They have quality that I haven't heard in years. They're going to be remembered and revered as one of the "greats" years from now.
@BigO
Those three will be looked for. I love finding "new" old music!
Oh, yeah. I'll preface this by saying that I'm a sick bastard but, in that given situation, Leon was a better man than I am.

neph, I'll do some checking and PM ya. There are some certain songs you just have to listen to by these guys. I bet safc has heard of 'em.
BTW, Leon was a better man than both of us!
(I like Jean Rene in most of the stuff I've seen him in, pretty good actor. You're right about Oldman too, one of his best performances, tho he's usually good in whatever he does))

I sure am glad to find this thread is off topic with you guys discussing the best bands instead of the worst. I assumed it would be post and go but I decided to read it after you guys started to discuss some serious artist that are of the non-whore variety. Seeing the Cure mentioned brings back fond memories. Love the Sex Pistols an all time favorite. I have to give a shout out to neph cdbaby is all that and then some, if you haven't visited their site do so and educate yourself about how the music industry should be. Sophocles mention of King Crimson is to be commended its very collectable and fine music. Now for the post and go part, every boy band rides in on the high hard one.

You may have heard of them, but in my opinion "Joy Division" were perhaps one of the unsung greats. All of their music is deeply atmospheric & induces an impact when listening to them. A few others may include The Cocteau Twins, The Meteors, Barrence Whitfield & The Savages, Bauhaus, The Undertones (Derry's favourites), Punishent Of Luxury, Half Man Half Biscuit (The funniest Lyrics ever written by a band!!), Magazine (The early Buzzcocks), John Cooper Clarke (Punk poet)
I was having a think the other day, dangerous I agree. Perhaps the one group that changed things for me in my youth were The Ramones. I remember buying their "Blitzkreig Bop" EP, and then buying the superb album "Rocket to Russia" immediately afterwards. For pure energy I honestly dont think these geezers can be equaled.

Sorry brian, I already mentioned Magazine AND the Buzzcocks,(i guess another post towards addict status lol), I had forgotten about the Undertones and The Meteors tho, so I guess I'll have to give ya credit there. ;)
As far as the Ramones I think I have every album they made, what a band! I saw them in Johnson City, TN. with Bruce Springsteen before he had made it big, only 400 people showed up, I had never heard of the E Street Band, I went for the Ramones. Half the crowd left cos they hated the Ramones, it was awesome. They only played an hour but what an hour! The note that ended one song was the same note that started the next song. I mean it, no pause! It was high energy at it's best!
Rock n' Roll High School has one of the greatst soundtracks of any movie ever made.
I was greatly saddened at Joey Ramone's death at the tender age of 51. He will be missed.

What's great is that my kids love the Ramones too. I remember when they first got the movie Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius. I was in the bedroom when they were watching it the first time, and all of a sudden I heard Blitzkrieg Bop playing. I thought the movie must be over and the song was on TV, but when I went out I found out it was actually in the movie.

Undeniably so. They're in heavy rotation as well.
I've got everything Cocteau Twins put out that I could get my hands on. Elizabeth Fraser has the singlemost gorgeous and intoxicating voice I've ever heard. Several of their albums have been remastered now. How about The Moon And The Melodies? This Mortal Coil? Ms. Frasier contributes on both of those :)
Many of the old greats are getting their works remastered. I've picked these remasters up within the last month:
Echo & The Bunnymen's first five albums. My absolute favorite band in the entire world!
Peter Gabriel's first four. His early stuff is in a class of it's own.
Psychedelic Furs' first three. Any of you check out Love Spit Love? That's Richard Butler's project after The Furs broke up.
I'll throw out a few more,
Velvet Underground. these guys were way ahead of their time.
Caterwaul - They hail from Phoenix and the singer, Betsy Martin, has an out of this world voice. "Portent Hue" is an incredible album.
The The - another terribly underrated band.
Talk Talk - another favorite. Their album "The Colour Of Spring" is a wonderful experience.
Catherine Wheel - yet another great one folks seem to miss.
Sugarcubes - the good stuff before Bjork became a dork.
Legendary Pink Dots - I own 15 of their God knows how many albums. Many bands can be described as sounding a little like this band and a little like that band. Not the Dots. They are a sound and experience unto themselves. Most folks don't care for them but those that do, myself included, love their work heart and soul.

I can't believe I didn't think to mention them! Not to mention Lou Reed's solo work (Rock And Roll Animal anyone?). Now that I'm thinking about it, another good one was David Bowie's late 80's/early 90's band Tin Machine. They only put out a couple of albums (and the second one wasn't nearly as good as the first). Reeves Gabriel was on guitar and the Sales brothers from Iggy Pop's band (Soupy Sales' sons) were on bass and drums. Besides a bunch of great original songs, their first album also had a kick ass version of Working Class Hero.

Oh God, how could I forget Velvet Underground, Lou Reed, and David Bowie, all big favorites of mine. I also liked David Johansen and the New York Dolls. All these guys were waaayyy ahead of their time!
Neph, I also love Catherine Wheel and THE THE-what a great band, saw 'em with the Cranberries in Atlanta a few years back, great great show. I believe the guitar player for THE THE came from the Smiths(w/Jim Morrissey) didn't he, Johnny Mars.
I just thought of another big influence that hasn't been mentioned, The Kinks with the Ray Davies and his brother. Man, ya'll really got me goin'!

Ah The Kinks! Great stuff :P
Funny you mention The Kinks and The The. Matt Johnson of The The has credited the Kinks as being one of his influences. I believe Johnny Marr joined them in the late 80's?
Shamefully I've not mentioned another favorite, the Man In Black - Johhny Cash.

When I was growing up I wasn't exposed to much rock music because my mom mostly listens to country. I did discover Johnny Cash though, and I spent many hours listening to him. In fact, when I was about 8 or 9 years old my favorite album was probably Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison.
Another one nobody's mentioned is Montrose. Had it not been for Sammy Hagar's ego there's no telling how far they could have gone. Ronnie Montrose also did a really good instrumental album in the 80's called The Speed Of Sound.

This has become my favorite thread, I love talking about all these "worst" bands. BTW, how about an old blues rock band I loved called Savoy Brown?
Also two newer bands-relatively speaking, Third Eye Blind and Three Doors Down? Saw Third Eye Blind at Murtle Beach and they were fan f**king tastic! They were with Eve 6 and Alice in Chains and Gene loves Jezebel.
Also, newer on the scene, I think they just broke up, but Pearl Jam was an awesome band, "Jeremy" is an all time favorite!

sugarcubes were great. talking heads and any david byrne solo stuff. One of my favorite bands of all time even though they weren't around long enough was Morphine. I go to see them 3 times, twice in very small settings and it was fantastic. i also like 16 horsepower, very nick cave-ish yet still all their own.

I'll throw out a few more,
The Church - Some of the best to come out of Australia.
Sugar - Bob Mould of Husker Du. Copper Blue is a must hear.
Xmal Deuschtland - Great German goth band from the eighties.
Violent Femmes - The eighties wouldn't have been the eighties without them.
Pixies - Nirvana got all the credit they deserved.
XTC - Andy Partridge is the man!
Cranes - I'm in love with Alison Shaw, what can I say?
Primus - Les Claypool has got to be the most gifted bassist alive and you just can't help but love the way he sings! Fun, fun, fun music.
