Title: Mainstream to Indie (game)
Post by: Indifferent Clox on 02 Feb 2008, 16:31
Here's how we play. First poster lists a mainstream band, the next poster lists an indie band that is similar but better and tells how they relate, then posts a mainstream band of their own and it restarts. Neither band has to be a band you like it's more about providing substitutes for people when they say "OH I LOVE -blank-". Also It can be a very small similarity to keep it going faster.

Also don't criticize others choices just keep the game moving.

If you really need an example:

Angels and Airwaves

Nada Surf

Connection: Similiar voice

See simple.

I'll start

My Chemical Romance

there's something ironic between this thread and the fact that the subtitle to the music forum is "don't be a hipster snob"

Metallica

Reason: Both bands made out with Courtney Cox-Arquette backstage at the 1997 MTV Music Awards.

Probably not, as he's already established his taste to us in his own thread, and he's smart enough to start a recommendation thread without a thin disguise should he want to discover new music.

I was doing it for comparitive reasons.

If you've listened to early Pink Floyd and mid-90s Legendary Pink Dots, I should think it's obvious.

Psychedelic dreamy space-rock?

Now zerodrone you post a mainstream band. Or an indie band. I guess it doesn't matter which you start with.
