Did you actually read the thread before posting? We're not pointing at bands we don't like, for the most part.

Duly noted. Sorry about that >.>

I suppose I should save my facetious moments for places I'm familiar, aye? Also I'll stop assuming everyone here is a hipster snob soon. Just gotta get used to the place so I can form an educated opinion.

K, but I'm 19 and I'd pay just about any ticket price to see them. So it's not really an age thing.

Whether they're overrated or not, there is no getting around the fact that they are not "just noise". Look at some of their guitar tabs.
It's like you're trying to convince us that Antarctica sucks because it's just too hot.

While I agree with you, you can't prove your point by saying "look at their tabs." No-wave bands have plenty of songs that really are just noise, and they have tabs as well, some of which look complex/musical.
Jackie Blue:
I can point to dozens of Sonic Youth guitar tabs to prove that they follow conventional pop/rock forms, so I think that's pretty good evidence that they're not "just noise".
RedLion:
Again. I agree with you that Sonic Youth are not "just noise." But I don't see how a tab proves that. There's no "basic pop/rock format" for a tab. There is for chord changes, or musical scores, but tabs? Not so much.
Tom:
Guys, Hüsker Dü, seriously.
