Pavement >The Fall > Sonic Youth > Built to Spill > The Pixies > Dinosaur Jr. > Guided by Voices > Memes
>>63403068
I love it all
there all fucking gay as shit you fag
>>63403119
>He doesn't like Big Black
Man's gotta hate something, I guess you'll do
>Sonic Youth
Like Daydream nation quite a bit, I reckon it was pretty influential on post rock. Some of their no wave stuff is cool too but I hate everything after DN
>The Fall
They're a good band but they don't have any actually good albums. I'm glad they exist and I listen to The Frenz Experiment from time to time but honestly not that good. And Mark E Smith is literally on the same level of self proclaimed genius delusion as Kanye.
>Big Black
I like Songs About Fucking's first half quite a lot and I heard Atomizer for the first time recently and fucking loved it.
>Pixies
Love em, but no kim = no deal
>Butthole Surfers
never listened
>Dinosaur jr.
You're living all over me is perfect
>Muddhoney
Not that bothered
>Nirvana
Eh
>Pavement
Garbage
>Unwound

>Guided by Voices
Fall USA
>Built to Spill
Awesome
>>63403068
>Sonic Youth
One of my faves. Love Sister and Daydream Nation
>The Fall
I think they're awesome but I have to be in the mood
>Big Black
Atomizer and Songs About Fucking are two of my fave albums
>Pixies
Kind of overrated.
>Butthole Surfers
Never listened to them
>Dinosaur jr.
Love some of their stuff but not a band I go to often
>Muddhoney
Never listened to.
>Nirvana
Very overrated
>Pavement
Love their first two records. Slanted & Enchanted was the soundtrack to my life for a year.
>Unwound
Haven't listened to them
>Modest Mouse
Loved Long Drive

>these cucks never listened to Unwound
>>63403301
Listen to Terminus by Unwound, it's pretty good and should at least get you into the album it belongs to. To be fair though, it's much better to hear the songs that build up into it.
>>63403068
>>Sonic Youth
Up Until Goo they were fucking amazing
>>The Fall
Love them with all my heart. But they put thoo much shit out after their/his heyday
>>Big Black
Great. Maybe Shellac is a bit better as far as Albin's projects go.
>>Pixies
Shite
>>Butthole Surfers
Fun, and that's it.
>>Dinosaur jr.
Boring as shit
>>Muddhoney
ther first EP is a great slab of sludgy noise rock
>>Nirvana
Don't really care about them
>>Pavement
Crooked Rain Crooked Rain > Slanted and Enchanted
>>Unwound
Plan to listen to them soon
>>Modest Mouse
Meh.
>>Guided by Voices
The best american indie rock band? Maybe.
>>Built to Spill
On the backlog
Closer is so much better than unknown pleasures
Sonic Youth, Butthole Surfers, The Fall, and Unwound are the only great ones. Lot of plebeians in this thread
>>63403665
That's like saying Loveless is better than Isn't Anything--two very different sounds
>>63403068
> Sonic Youth
Never liked them. Boring, ramshackle guitar noise. No melody, no songwriting. Pretentious.
> The Fall
Not interested. Can't be bothered.
> Big Black
Used to listen to a few tracks a long time ago to be cool, but seems like more lame, pretentious noise at the present. Next.
> Pixies
Finally, a great band. Fantastic, legendary. Surfer Rosa / Come on Pilgrim / Doolittle - all classics. They never should have made Indie Cindy. Throw that in the garbage.
> Butthole Surfers
More 80's underground crap that is very overrated.
> Dinosaur Jr.
I appreciate the pop sensibility but I never liked this band. I really kind of hate J. Mascis' vocals and not even a big fan of his guitar playing, but I give them due respect.
> Mudhoney
Touch Me I'm Sick is a great filthy garage rock song. Love that track. If every song they made was as good as that one they'd be seen as far more than a Seattle / Nirvana hanger-on. Rest of the stuff was meh.
> Nirvana
I'm a huge Nirvana fan. Don't even care what anybody thinks. Guy was such a good performer and songwriter.
> Pavement
Used to kinda like the haircut song, then I listened to Slanted Enchanted and some other shit like that and never cared for it. Generic 90's college rock? Pavement.
> Unwound
Never heard of 'em.
> Modest Mouse
Never listened to them. I only know that popular song about a cop car or whatever with the funky guitar strumming.
> Guided by Voices
Couldn't name one song.
> Built to Spill
Never heard of 'em.
I like all of those except for Shitvana.

I know Sonic Youth, that's about it
Don't know the Fall
Don't know Big Black.
I know of the Pixies.
I listened to the butthole surfer's first album, they're fine.
Dinosaur Jr. is good.
Mudhoney's okay.
Nirvana IS overrated.
I like Pavement.
I don't know Unwound. (sorry)
I like Modest Mouse, they're earlier stuff I like but the first 2 albums are great.
Just started listening to Guided By Voices they're okay.
Built to spill is great.
I'm going to check out the bands I don't know here, by the way.

I see that this thread is attracting close-minded buttrockers that can't into Modest Mouse. Good job weeding out their pleb mindset with that clever plant, OP
>>63409958
Modest Mouse isn't buttrock but they're overrated as fuck, everyone who gave them shit liked better bands anyway
>>63409953

>>63408788
>hasn't heard of GBV, Unwound, or The Fall
>Sonic Youth
I know I listened to a few of their albums in high school, but I don't remember much about them. Guess that means I didn't like it.
>The Fall
The Who? Don't know what this band is.
>Big Black
Always wanted these songs to be funnier, but some of their songs are alright, namely Bad Penny and Kerosene. Shellac is more fun I think.
>Pixies
Pretty good. I play their music for other people sometimes and don't regret it.
>Butthole Surfers
I realize that they are actually pretty awful, but I think that they are a good combination of weird and funny for the most part. Their earlier work was the most fun, Locust Abortion Technician is overrated and everything after Pioughed is pretty much garbage.
>Dinosaur Jr.
I have never made it through an album of theirs. Don't really remember them either. Meh.
>Muddhoney
I've heard that name before.... Yep
>Nirvana
Nevermind is a fun album sometimes. Never liked the other two.
>Pavement
Don't know if I've even heard of them
>Unwound
I think I tried to listen to them once and failed
>Modest Mouse
That's a name I have heard too.
>Guided by Voices
What?
>Built to Spill
Also... Who?
Well, I hope I was helpful! In summary, I know material from about half of these groups so I'm pretty damn unhelpful.
>>63411006
Even normies listen to modest mouse. Not hating on you or anything but please listen to everything in the list. Some decent - great stuff there

K, I'll go listen to Modest Mouse and the Fall, since it's the first question mark on my list
How are there people who post here who proclaim with confidence that they've never listened to or heard some of the most entry-level, defining-the-genre alt-rock out there in a thread asking them of their opinions of such bands? And why is there such ambivalence toward these groups? Pavement & GBV forever.
