Either you have no idea what noise is or you have no idea what pop means.

Probably both.

Tommy, for some time now I've had a sneaking suspicion that he's never heard any music and is actually just put here to annoy us. It's actually just a drunk pig typing. I mean I honestly think something with trotters could do a better job, and probably has a more erudite opinion on Sonic Youth - even one that's had a few glasses of whiskey.

Opinions are like assholes. Yours is wrong. Sonic Youth is plenty tuneful.

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.

Am I the only one who feel bad, and like a snarky bastard calling music I don't like that is popular "overrated"?
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 like a lot of bands that are hated by the large majority of music snobs (Aquabats, They Might Be Giants) though, so my opinion doesn't really count, does it?

What in fuck?

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.

You're right of course.  Perhaps it's a generational thing.  I'm not old enough (31), to really get it.  I sort of equate it to the Grateful Dead, or in more current terms, Phish.

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.

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.

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".

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.

not so sure about the drunk pig comment
but in some ways yes i am trying to annoy people with a different perspective than most
its typically the way things are, poeple have different ideals than you you think they're idiots

even sonic youth calls themselves noise

and yes i have heard sonic youth, they were once my favorite band

besides

its all opinionative anyways so relax, take deep breaths, count to ten and continue with the rant

It would be all opinions if you were saying something like they're bad. But it's a fact that their songs have the structure of songs, and use notes and so on that sound coherent and good together. Sure they use a lot of noise in some parts of some tracks, but there is this great big undeniable musical part of their sound that makes them not just noise. I really can't fathom how you could have given them even a cursory listen and honestly believe that they are 'just noise'.

i simply said my opinion

would it be better if i said my OPINION is that they are noise

does that sound better?

or should i just conform to everybody elses opinion?

hell i don't even think they are bad, they're very much good, i just don't like them ANYMORE

 infact to sum up my whole "argument"

it is my OPINION is they are overrated and noise, not all if its noise, of course or else we'd all be listening to the same

diminished chord over and over and over again like some actual bands out there that scare me pissless

they are NOT bad, never said that

just opinionative that i think they are overrated and very much noise

i honestly had NO IDEA my post would cause everyone to freak out like i pissed on your bible or somethin

really now people, is it THAT big of problem?

time to relax and enjoy the day okay? good

They've already established that your use of 'opinion' is in fact not correct.

What you're saying equates to trying to tell us that the Decemberists play some really bitchin' doom metal, or that the Animal Collective writes really catchy disco pop.

Find another way to say whatever you're attempting to say, or just stop trying.

Dude, you're so wrong. Sonic Youth is just garbage noise passed off as pop. This Sutcliffe Jügend shit though, is true melodic metal disguised by walls of noise and fuzz.

Once you see past all that.... whoa, man. Just whoa.

yeah, let's talk a bit more about this. I remember a thread a few months back where everyone talked about Husker Du like they were Jesus' second coming. So I thought I'd give them another try as they'd not really impressed me on the first time around. But they still sounded like a crappy 80's punk band. Maybe I had to experience it at the time to appreciate it? I don't know.

I would have to agree. They do seem pretty much run-of-the-mill.

I actually like Hüsker Dü, almost everyone with any interest in alternative forms of rock and punk that I've shown this stuff to loved it as well. I only started listening to Big Black and My Bloody Valentine and will continue to do as such.
