To hell with the canon

Sure, some parts are great, but a lot of it gets really boring, particularly later on. However, I'd like to point out that even though the studio version of Eric's Trip is pretty bad, if the Dirty Boots EP is any indication, it is really awesome live.

Daydream Nation is a tad overrated, yeah. Bad Moon Rising and Murray Street are better. Personally.

--- Quote from: KharBevNor on 02 Oct 2006, 09:52 ---Well, I obviously loathe most of the indie canon stuff, whilst liking a lot of classic rock. Within the canon of music I actually like, well. Hmnnn... I think Slayer are terribly over-rated, though not to say they haven't got some cracking songs, and I never got in to Godflesh or any of the bands like Pelican or Isis, except maybe Sunn 0))) if you count them in that area. I think Carcass, At The Gates and Anathema are also over-rated, though nowhere near as much as Slayer. With Carcass I can't stand all the overblown worship of them in the death metal scene, with At The Gates I hate it how everyone says they invented melodeath, when they didn't (Edge of Sanity did) and I just don't think Anathema generally stand up to the early works of My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost. I generally don't like American style death metal, except odd dribs and drabs from odd bands: like I love 'To Serve Man' by Cattle Decapitation, but none of their other stuff. As foir other things, I've never really seen the point of NON (I find it pretty much pure masturbation), though I do like a lot of Boyd Rices other work. Some of those opinions are quite common though. As for the other way round, I like some hair metal, and I fucking love melodic black metal, especially the really awful shit. I would still class myself as a fan of Cradle of Filth, for example, their early work anyway. It's just so damn enjoyable!
Oh, and I don't like The Clash. At all.

Wait, Anathema is considered a good band at places?
Granted, I've only heard them a couple of times but they've always felt... Creedish... to me.

I don't like The Clash, The Sex Pistols, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, The Cure, Sonic Youth, Slayer, My Dying Bride, Carcass, Cradle of Filth, The Decemberists, Interpol, Sigur Ros, Modest Mouse, Franz Ferdinand...
And many more.

Ohh no you won't. Not in this thread you won't. You will, at the most, offer a polite suggestion as to what a particular poster might listen to, in order to hopefully change his or her mind.
Such as the Harder They Come soundtrack.

This is probably sacrilege as far as industrial music goes, but I’ve never really liked Skinny Puppy’s Too Dark Park or Last Rights. I keep hearing that these are the pinnacle of their career, but to me, they sound way too unfocused. I prefer The Process or Rabies over both.
Oddly, I really enjoy Download’s Furnace, which is essentially the unfocused part of Last Rights being taken to extremes.
