I honestly don't care about the "punk enough" argument. I just don't plain like them. The same with the Sex Pistols. I'm too young for it, I guess. I understand what effect the group had on the young teenagers when they first came out, but I just think they sound boring.

I guess I just don't relate as much to classic rock unless it's something that people don't talk about all of the time. Television and Richard Hell/The Voidoids are very undername-dropped, in my opinion, and sound a lot more dynamic than anything the Sex Pistols or other simmilar bands put out, I feel.

Again, just me.  

As for Modest Mouse, I love them; I think that their earlier stuff is great, but they were just too loose, IMO. I don't recall that much from their earlier period compared to The Moon and Good News.

Besides, if you really want to make the "sold out" argument, at least keep in mind that once they signed to a major label for The Moon, they "sold out". Just because it didn't get them "OMG populere" doesn't mean it's not valid. Look at the Jawbox move.

Hey...what was this topic about again? XP

KharBevNor:
No, no. My comment meant that, to me anyway, the Clash are kind of a boring old rock band really. Outdated and uninteresting, and whenever I say this, someone always falls back on an argument about how influential they were, or how they were more punk than the Sex Pistols, or something.

Actually, you can take pretty much any popular figure and call them "misunderstood." For instance, Britney Spears is misunderstood by the fans that think she's a good singer...

Trollstormur:
I don't listen to it unless it comes from a very limited printing (25-500) from a recording studio atop a Very Very Very Very Very Forsaken Crest Of The Northern Mountain.

The more avant garde, the better. I WANT THE INSTRUMENTS TO BE CONTRUCTED FROM GOAT'S CARCASSES.



That said, uh I dunno, I didn't mind that new Gorillaz single.
