Musicological banter

I'd put X on that list

We were away at the time, but once again the bass from the project GLOW festival at RFK stadium reached our humble city 9 or so miles away, sparking outrage on a local facebook group and apparently had cops out looking for the source locally

Same weather conditions as last year apparently.. must have again something much louder closer in

The Warren Zevon fans are not going to be happy.

And how does RATM get in but Iron Maiden and Soundgarden don't?

I have some disagreements with this list

Surprised about Zevon but not Crow. She's been an industry insider for decades.

Zevon has eight fans….


Iron Maiden and New Order/Joy Division are ridiculous omissions. Hell you would think new order having a woman in the band in 1981 would help….it was pretty damn unusual

JD/NO is the most influential band of the last 40 years

I’m going to set the over/under on Hutch’s reply at 5.5 paragraphs.

No. I believe that….the mixing of synths with live instrumentation and popularizing dance/rock starts with them… I am sure someone can argue with it but I truly believe that… modern music is just taking the new order template and building on that…someone had to take us from Kraftwerk to now and that band was new order… Bernard literally was building his own synths while Stephen experimented with drum machines… overlay live guitar and bass and you got modern music

The following would like a word regarding “girls” in bands in late 70s and early 80s


The Motels
B-52s
The Waitresses
The Plasmatics
Pearl Harbour and The Explosions
Altered Images
Romeo Void
Missing Persons
Berlin
The Go-Gos
The Raincoats
Bush Tetras
Talking Heads
Blondie
10,000 Maniacs
Fleetwood Mac

That’s just off the top of my head I’m sure there are more

Also Sara Lee was in Gang of Four by then…

If anything in punk, new wave, etc the line ups were more diverse up through the mid 80s than the typical four+ dudes combos that keep forming

Pylon
The Runaways
The Pretenders

The girls in bands thing is the least important thing…just saying I would think it would have helped with the PC crowd…

Somebody had to take the Kraftwerk bleeps and turn them into the mainstream…that band was New Order

I gotta go to work (YYY).

I’m in a mood and on a roll


Martha and The Muffins

Feelies are one of the best live shows around


Unfortunately a very select few realize it


Bring a clueless friend

Guys, the “rolling compendium of bands better than The Clash” thread is like ten pages back.

Valid, even if it's one of the lesser compendia.
