Topic Summary

Elvis/Beatles - Elvis. I fucking love Elvis. I don't really like this comparison though. Beatles are cool by me.
Sonic Youth/Ween - Sonic Youth. Can't get into Ween at all.
Smiths/Cure - MUTHAFUCKIN CUUUUURE DURRRRR

Another, potentially clearer division might be between Beatles people and Stones people.

Either way, I'm with the Beatles.

We've discussed this before, but in my experience the Ween/Sonic Youth division holds true roughly 90% of the time. It comes down to the question that plagued Zappa throughout his entire career: Does humor belong in music? Of course there will always be people like Geno who can get on board with both, but most people will feel strongly one way or the other.

Unfortunately for Ween, the standard ace in the hole that could always be used to convince the non-believer -- a live performance by Ween -- is no longer to be had. You'd never know what Ween really sounds like unless you watched them play for a couple hours.

What I love so much about Sigur Ros is there ability to make such simple and elegant music like this:



As well as some of the most powerful, moving, and bone-chilling music on earth. Such as this (watch from 11 minutes onward. FUCKING DO IT):

This is exactly why bands like Ween, They Might Be Giants, The Aquabats, and even Dethklok just don't click with me. I hate sounding like I don't like humor, because I absolutely do, but for some reason I've just never really gotten into goofy music.

Stones vs. Beatles = THE ROLLING FUCKING STONES!

The Beatles are great but The Stones hold the rock n' roll gauntlet for me.

I always remember Best Buy selling one of their CDs for $2.99 for the longest time, but never looked into them. I'll check em out!

If you say that about They Might Be Giants I think it is because you haven't heard much beyond, like, Istanbul and Particle Man.
Posted by Horned Gramma on Aug 4, 2012, 8:33pm
They're not a joke band, but there is definitely a massive amount of humor and silliness in their music.

In other words, you're not going to sell Pea on They Might Be Giants.

Yah das cool
Posted by Pea on Aug 4, 2012, 8:54pm
Dude my bad. I never meant to imply they were a joke band. I have massive respect for all of the bands I mentioned. They just aren't really my thing.

BUT I AM OPEN AND WELCOME TO ANY ATTEMPTS TO CHANGE SAID OPINION UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF GROUND UP DRAGON DUST.
