Umm i dodnt say sales= quality in fact on one of my posts i posted that i big capital letters. and in an example.
Otherwise braian adams would have released a classic and westlife and all sorts of surplus shit.
I said a classic has to sell well that doesn't mean everything that sells is a classic. silly boy.

I don't have one. There's little point trying to classify music in such a way. I have albums that I think are classics, by my own subjective opinions; presumably they are because they meet some particular need in me. But there is no mileage in trying to persuade others to your viewpoint in matters of music, because it's such a personal, passionate thing. Unless you're one of those weird people who don't really listen to music, in which case I shall be backing away slowly rather than attempting to engage on any level.
"classic" smacks of Mojo 12-page specials, an ITV documentary and appearances on Top Gear

pop-punk. now if there's an expression likely to trigger my breakdown towards murder it's pop-punk. one word for you: everclear.
kained&able said:i knew it was. I hate youpearl jam fair enough other then 10 and stone temple poilets entirely fair enough although they had some decnt tunes.
I love soundgarden and alice in chains. Listen to them two more then nirvana these days.
Oh and bush were fairly decent as well. First two albums were a bit grunge by numbers but they were definatly colouring within the lines. The last two were a lot more atmopsheric and good.

Soundgarden are very good musicians IMO. The album Down on the Upside is excelent. I own the other stuff Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains etc but rarely play it now TBH. Doesn't quite ressinate as it did for me in my late teens early 20's. Soundgarden I still play a lot though.
Dubversion said:funnily enough, it was precisely them - plus Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots etc - that i did mean
Pearl Jam and STP certainly, Alice in Chains to some extent, but I liked a lot of Soundgarden's stuff...
i can't stand Soundgarden because of what they became, but i did have a soft spot for the earlier, noisier stuff before they became pompous cunts

Ive always been a metaller at heart really so alice in chains really work for me. wasn't really keen on them while grunge was going on though strangely.
In defence of everclear. So much for the afterglow was pretty danm good. Everything else though, oh dear. They must be the only band in the history of music to cover brown eyed girl badly as well..
dub not a big fan of love like suicide then??

I dunno, for me the only Soundgarden record that works is Badmotorfinger. That right collision between punk and metal, speed and pomposity etc etc.
Alice In Chains I think were the only one of those major bands that I think had any consistency. Facelift was a load of proto-metal toss but after that they just shone. Good old smack.
I forgive myself a liking for early Pearl Jam and the first three STP albums out of context of their marketing because I was a teenager when I fell for them and somethings just stick.
But honestly, the only band from the Seattle scene that has truly proved great (apart from Nirvana) are Mudhoney.

Yeah, quite possibly valid... but they do get put there.
To me, it's sorta wide... potentially anything from bits of Bad Religion, through NOFX, all the way down (the sewer?) to the likes of Sum41 at the very, very bad end.
Jawbreaker are sorta somewhere in the middle, but they have other overtones, too. Still... Bad Scene, Everyone's Fault and Boxcar are proper pop-punk...
Iam said:Sorry.
Obviously, I was thinking of the Seattle Scene, which I believe is allowed an exclusion zone of roughly 45 minutes by car...
or "the catchment area in which it still makes sense to buy your smack from that one guy.. ."

I know little of the character of Soundgarden's personell and just like the music. As musicians I think they had to move on from that early noisey garage feel, good though it was. There last album, which I htink was Down on the Upside, is musically interesting. Wanting to progress, try something else is not equal to pompossity.

i was talking about their music - it became pompous and cunty.

where did i say it was? don't put words in my mouth

Sweet Oblivion was, and is, a blinding record. Dust also has some great stuff on it. Dust wasn't really grungey though, it was more on the way to the sort of thing he was doing on his solo stuff..
Dubversion said:
I was wondering why you called them pomposs cunts.
E2A I don't really understand what pompouss cunty music means. Well to me I'd associate it with overly ponderous self indolgent noodling. Prog rock usually gets that label.
Is that what you think of Soundgarden's later stuff? Just curious.

yeh. that's exactly what i thought. po-faced, portentous, rumbling bollocks.
