Violent Femmes (I've walked out of record stores while this shit was on.As soon as hear that whiny tongue in cheek bullshit I wanna start stomping puppies)
beck's best song is still "loser" which actually is kinda funky and has a breakbeat the whole song...i have a 12" promo of it...kinda fun to dj it out at the right party.
Yeah, but you don't like rap
yeah right. and obviously you don't like rock. or anything that isn't currently on hot 97.
I would definitely call the last two classics; no dissent there. But, those albums do not mean everything those bands have ever touched turn to gold, and they get a free critical blowjob card for the rest of their careers.
I should retract my original comment re: Pavement and GBV. Because the same would apply to the groups I listed.
I can't really think anything relatively* new that demonstrated any kind of consistent progress.
*Slanted and Enchanted came out almost 15 years ago.
I think Pavement's run from S&E-->Brighten the Corners was great, and they were all different. "Wowee Zowee" back to back with "Crooked Rain".
GbV had the big three in the middle, and I would put those over any run of three from Wilco or Radiohead (yeah, I said it.)
I'm sorry, but this totally reminded me of a story I haven't thought about in ages. When I was working at a Waldenbooks we got this new manager in who was a total lunatic and a compulsive liar. Among other untruths, she actually tried to convince us that she was born with two assholes. This would be laughable except for the fact that she actually seemed to believe it herself! No joke. She almost had me convinced...

This is a common symptom of a rare body dysmorphic disorder reported by gender disoriented females. It's slightly different from transsexualism. Did she claim that her clitoris is a very small penis? Nevermind. What really matters is... did you look?
The music behind beck has always been enjoyable to me, but I hate his singing and voice and lyrics. But the music... That was the dust brothers right? the Paul's Boutique guys? The music was pretty good.
98% of everything on the radio, regardless of genre, is complete garbage. The other 2% is that which I proclaim to be genius. If its not genius its garbage.
I can only name a few acts/groups/whatever out RIGHT NOW that are genius. And when I mention them here, nobody has ever heard of them.
Until my old rap heroes start making grown folk music I will stick with classical music and my rackord collection. Sounds bitter, but it feels just fine!

Pretty much any rock band from the past 10 years that got critical adulation stinks
But my nomination for one of the more egregiously worshipped folls:
Beck
This dude's music is trash.
And: if you like this dude, you do not like rap.
is dude's stuff even marginally related to rap anymore? last i heard, and this is a minute ago, he was on some weird electroclash shit or something. i'm not standing up for dude, i'm just sayin.
I have no idea. I have heard exactly two Beck songs in my life--both during the summer of 1996 when I had a construction job at which the other guys liked to listen to rock radio. They were both toneless whiteboy cod-rapping... the sort of sin against music that one can never ever atone for.
there were dudes on a construction site who don't like rap?
Speaking of the Flaming Lips and Cat Power, I recently saw some televised concert that the Flaming Lips did, and they brought out Cat Power to sing "War Pigs," a song that she apparently knew only in name. She garbled most of the lyrics and sang rather disturbingly flat. And right beside her was Wayne Coyne, decked out in the white suit as always, but before beginning the song, he had smeared fake blood on his forehead, so it was an, erm, interesting visual.

Ok, back to your regularly scheduled program...
Could she fart in stereo?? That's the test....
She was a be bop farting master. She farted in any note plus its flatted fifth!

Is this for real?! It wouldn't surprise me as she was very fucked up in the head.
And no, I decided that looking would definitely be

Comments
Was "Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em" the other time?
no i've actually never owned that album amazingly. the only other time was some Free Kitten piece of trash I got duped into checking out.
The Pixies
The Raincoats (please)
The Replacements
Television (That's right,I said it)
Violent Femmes (I've walked out of record stores while this shit was on.As soon as hear that whiny tongue in cheek bullshit I wanna start stomping puppies)
yeah right. and obviously you don't like rock. or anything that isn't currently on hot 97.
OK , here's one I don't get. His 2-bit Marc Bolan vocal style is bothersome.
I thought Sea Change was decent for a modern Loner Folk LP.
But shit, I liked the acoustic disc of the last double Foo Fighters CD.
Sea Change is real nice. A little *too* depressing really, and I started to enjoy it much less after I heard Gainsbourg's "Melodie Nelson".
I think Pavement's run from S&E-->Brighten the Corners was great, and they were all different. "Wowee Zowee" back to back with "Crooked Rain".
GbV had the big three in the middle, and I would put those over any run of three from Wilco or Radiohead (yeah, I said it.)
While undeniably a good album I always much preferred The Bends. Less whiney, better songs IMO.
seriously
Mine:
Sonic Youth
The Fall
Radiohead
Coldplay
Wilco
What about the Kinks?

and plaese to elaborate on this "cod-rapping"
Glad I'm not the only one.
