  • are we on the fringe of mourning the break-up of "temple of the dog" as well?


    I always hated that band, as I did Pearl Jam.

    [And actually, Faux, I referred to them as Temple of the Whitesnake.]

  • this thread is "wow"

    You didn't know?

    Inside the realest of SoulStrut headz, there lurks a stringy haired air guitar player an open-minded music fan....



    Open Minded Music Fan= Still able to listen to some suspect-ass schitt! "I have some embarassing photos and outfits in my closet."



    Am I the 'Struts resident anti-rockist?

    Anything Pearl Jam-related as a rule sucks.

    people are throwing the term "rock" around a thread like this pretty loosely.

    You're suggesting that the likes of Pearl Jam lacks sufficient sac to merit the designation of "rock"?

    I can get with that...

    Yeah, open-minded cats tend to listen to *the most* suspect schitt.

    What about the fact that he pushes a Samurai--we're supposed to look past that, too?

    I'm even willing to admit a past man-crush on Chris Cornell...something Jay-Z has never been able to accomplish.

    this gurgley-emo doc martin/flannel comeback will surely be followed by non-ironic wearing of those retarded puffy hats that people who like(d) KLF used to wear.

    Same people that dismissed Superunknown in the 90s are the ones
    dismissing Laffy Taffy today.

    I'd like to know what qualities you people are seeing in laffy taffy that makes you claim a song where a guy refers to his dick as a chico stick constitues genius. I'm being serious here too.

    as far as soundgarden goes it falls under the same banner as Pearl Jam and all other early 90's relevant "butt rock" of the time. Grateful dead and Hot Tuna for a new generation

    but hey different strokes for different folks

    please to not combine the emo Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, Death Cab for Cutie crowd with the flannel filth soundgarden, Alice in Chains crowd. My taste and hygene are both offended

    No, that's me.


    I'll let Phonics blow his own spot (aaaaaaaaay) re: his living quarters.

    Pearl Jam is more along the lines of lack-of-butt rock.

    And Soundgarden is more along the lines of math-rock.

    So Rush for a new generation would be a better fit.

    And yes, I hear Birdman cringing.

    I thought you were from LA. The flannel squad was more like the Circle Jerks/The Cramps/TSOL crowd...the ones hanging out at Smoker's Field at Edison High School circa 1985.

    Also see the Replacements circa 1981.

    Flannels in the 90's were bought at Merry Go Round, rather than found in attics.
