Jawbreaker+Neil Young=Silkworm, Blake Schwarzenbach tag teams your mothers with Neil.
Fixed.
There's two sides forming here! People who like Silkworm, and people who don't. There are people with either opinion who need to rethink some of the things they've said in this thread.
Those who don't like Silkworm, don't accuse people who do of sucking on Tommy's little gentleman because that's really really silly. You're making yourself look really really silly. People are perfectly capable of liking music without administering oral sex to the person who introduces them to it. Silkworm have always had a bigger fanbase than just Tommy, I'm afraid. You can like still like Silkworm and disagree with Tommy. Infact, a lot of people often do!
Those of you who do like Silkworm, stop telling everybody that they were the best band ever, because quite frankly, there's plenty of reasons why people wouldn't like Silkworm. We get it. You really like Silkworm. Calm down. Nobody wants to listen to people who get hysterical over something. You'd stand a better chance of introducing people to a band if you presented them with just the facts, without all the panting. It's no use telling me you love the band, because a lot of people with shitty taste tell me the exact same thing about a lot of awful, awful bands.
Silkworm were a regular rock band, and they were better than most bands that are just regular rock bands. If you don't like regular rock music, you won't like Silkworm. If you do like bands that take their sound from 60s rock bands, then you might like Silkworm. The singers can sing, however sometimes they go out of their range or their voices crack on earlier records. They're distinctive, so the singers will either make it or break it for some people.
People who like Silkworm, really, REALLY love Silkworm. People who do not can't understand what all the fuss is about. Arguing with somebody about whether or not Silkworm were any good is a stupid and pointless task. You either disagree and will disagree forever, or you'll share the same opinion and jerk eachother off until one of you gets bored.
Also, I don't care who the band is, I think that posting an entire discography in a public forum is a dick move. Especially when that band has sold less records than my grandma. Sorry Jens. It's okay, I know you're not a dick, but I still think it's a dick move Don't give them a cake when you can give them a slice.
To summarise: People who like Silkworm, and people who do not like Silkworm, all need to be quiet.
