More obscure nostalgic music poll

[Kameron]

Cool poll. I want to know why I've never heard of the Lunachicks becuase that is an very cool name. You have also reminded me that my Jesus Lizard is sadly lacking and must be fixed.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

and since when were Jesus Lizard or Guitar Wolf 'indie'

Who said anything about 'indie' anywhere?

Guitar Wolf are only in there because I love love love them ok!
Not really a nostalgia thing going as they are still around.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Never heard of Guitar Wolf- The Jesus Lizard were well loved by the same indie kids that loved mudhoney and Nirvana aamof

I don't think that's true.
Fairly obvious that it was not true from the crowds at their gigs.

A lot of indie kids had Jesus Lizard t-shirts. It's a fact....

so you define a band by who wears their tshirts?

When were the Vaselines mainstream? They sold about zero records. I was a huge fan when I was younger and amazed when I saw Nirvana and they played mollys fucking lips.

All my mates had heard of them - therefore, mainstream - as far as we were concerned

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Good to see some votes for Sexton Ming in there, endless discipline is an amazing album (some of his other stuff is a bit poor mind).

In other news, I ordered my Guitar Wolf rock 'n' roll belt today. Godspeed you!

Intresting argument, minority group ideas are mainstream when viewed within.

That's the whole 'bubble' thing right?

You think things are normal until you step out of the bubble.

Look at the internet as an example!

SIXTY FUCKING QUID!!!

What are you saying man?

It's young people who are the real cunts in their hoods with their i-knobs.

Anyway I'm not old, I'm only half way there.

SIXTY FUCKING QUID!!!

Have you been on the website?

You underestimate how much I love those guys.
I met them when they play in the UK this year and was like a giddy teenager.

The only thing that makes me sad is that my own band will never be as rock and roll as they are.

ah, they are a great band. but even i wouldn't buy a 60 quid belt

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

They are hand made to order and it's going to be a very limited run.
Get a friend in Japan and order your belt now or eat my dust and be very jealous of my belt.

I'm getting the black one with white bits and studs. It's a bit more that £60 actually I think unless there is currently a favourable exchange rate.

 

[Dubversion]

12000 yen is about 57 quid, i think, but then there's shipping

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I voted for jesus lizard as they're the only one I know well.

Fucking cool as fuck band though. I would love to burst in on a Blink 182 gig, say "Look, kids, this is fucking punk" and shove the Lizard on. I saw them 3 times and they were excellent each time.

The belt I'm getting is 12,800

As a rule of thumb I move the comma one place, turn it into a dot, divide by two and add a little bit more on top.

Yup, always a good show. I found their music could be a bit hit and miss but live they were awesome.

I oftern wonder why people who don't like punk rock bother going to gigs. For me its all about the energy, something you can't get on the record.
Mind you guitar wolf and jesus lizard do a good job (apart from UFO romantics Guitar wolf really capture what punk rock is about for me)

RIP Billy, did you know the new guy UG is only 19!!! That's not very rock and roll.

Hmm... I'm not so sure. Liar, Goat, Head/Pure, Down, all cracking albums...

They all have good tracks but IMO not everyone is a winner.

Just add Butthole Surfers to that list and twis me.

I voted Jesus Lizard, they had something truely special about them.

Has anyone heard of Made Out Of Babies ?

Jesus Lizard werer best live band ever, i was at the front at the Leadmill in 1994 and David Yow spent the whole gigi leaning on my head then using it as a launching board into the crowd... and he gave me the end of his spit-soaked stella can too. only an hour previously i had been curled up outside in a hedge vomiting.

 

[rutabowa]

this was a good live song, "Blockbuster":–
Your first mistake was to think you could fuck with the ranch
Here I come, here I come, with my dick in my hand
Do you think you'd like to have a blockbuster up your ass
Do you think you'd like that, well do ya motherfucker
Do ya, motherfucker
Do ya
We'll smash your eggs and then your head and we'll nab your kids
Take 'em outback on the deck and barbeque their ribs
Throw their heads into your ivy, water them with piss
Do you think you'd like that, well do ya motherfucker
Do ya, motherfucker
Do ya
Your first mistake was to think you could fuck with the ranch
Here I come, here I come, with my dick in my hand
Do you think you'd like to have a blockbuster up your ass
Do you think you'd like that, well do ya motherfucker
Do ya, motherfucker
Do ya, motherfucker
Do ya, motherfucker
Do ya

Fucking awsome live. Sadly I only saw them twice I think. Lot's of energy just how live music should be.

Nice thread comeback.
