The 2018 Hardcore Husky Battle of the Bands - Presented by YellowSnow's Record Shoppe
- Thread starter YellowSnow
- Start date
So apparently I seeded the 60s right in that there is not likely to be a single 1st round upset. Can't say the same about the late 70s.

When I lived in Oklahoma I was surrounded by hipsters who sucked Thom Yorke's cockus nonstop so I'm probably biased against them but I'll take Muse, Oasis, Blur, Travis and even (NTTAWWT) Coldplay over Radiohead in the post Kurt, british invasion division. But I recognize they're influential as hell and worthy of their iconic status. I just don't think I'll ever be able to stomach them.
Agreed on Bellamy as a showman. Wolstenholme is a pretty badass bass player too. Their range is what really impresses me, they hit a lot of genres, and all of them very well.

early Oasis was great shit
Dude. They're my favorite band but that song isn't even top-50 for them. Everything off of Origin of Symmetry and Absolution is better than the stuff they made for their female American following.

I didn’t really know a lot about Muse my first show. But I’m not sure that I’ve ever had my face melted like when they played Hysteria. I hardly knew the song but it didn’t matter. Highlight of both shows for me. Knights of Sedonia? was another great one. I had NEVER heard that one before the first show and loved it. I’m more drawn to their older shit I think.

^^^ And to add Supermassive Blackhole was the hair standing on end moment. They play loud and the whole crowd was groovin right outta the gate when they busted into it, and as loud as it was you could hear the crowd screaming too. If ever there were some proper anarchists, Muse would be them.

Give Radiohead another chance.
Listen to Starlight and Stockholm Syndrome.

Bands that faggot hollow man @YellowSnow neglected to include:
Joy Division[/b] (1970's) - spawned New Order and post-punk pioneers
Happy Mondays[/b] (1990's) - Manchester 90's MDMA rock (24 Hour Party People)
Afrika Bambaataa[/b] (1970's) - dude basically invented hip hop
Beastie Boys[/b] (1980's) - do I need to explain this one?
Bauhaus[/b] (1980's) - basically the first Goth band, way more metal than you might think
Human League[/b] (1970's) - listen to "Being Boiled" and recognize that when they wrote it they did the synth sounds by loosening and tightening tubes - they built their own synths and couldn't afford keyboards yet
Smashing Pumpkins[/b] (late 1980's/early 1990's)
Sex Pistols[/b] (1970's) - first big-time "punk" band
DEVO[/b] (1970's - 1980's)
The Smiths[/b] (1980's)
Gang of Four[/b] (1970's)
Kraftwerk[/b] (1970's)
on communist Polish TV, no less
Gary Numan/Tubeway Army[/b] (1970's) - They and Kraftwerk essentially invented electronic music, which, like it or not, revolutionized how we make and listen to pop music now
Daft Punk[/b] (1990's - present)
Donna Summer[/b] (1970's) - "I Feel Love" is one of the most influential singles of all time
Gorillaz[/b] (2000's - present)
Chemical Brothers[/b] (1990's - present)
Massive Attack[/b] (1990's - 2000's) - leaders of influential Brixton scene
Fatboy Slim[/b] (1990's - 2000's) - ditto
Prodigy[/b] (1990's) - made probably the best music video ever
Dead Kennedys/Black Flag/Suicidal Tendencies[/b] (1980's) - California Punk Rawk at its best
The Specials[/b] - the best of the ska bands that grew up in the slums of London. Everyone else is just a pale imitation (looking at you, English Beat and Madness).
Amy Winehouse[/b] - The 21st Century Janis Joplin. Lord only knows how great she could have been.
ever get the feeling you've been cheated?
fuck off
EDIT: also, no fucking Bob Marley[/b] or Burning Spear[/b]? How about Kate Bush or the Art of Noise? Maybe some NWA[/b], Public Enemy[/b], Eminem[/b], Tupac[/b]? Maybe the Temptations[/b], Dionne Warwick[/b], Marvin Gaye[/b], James Brown[/b], Prince[/b]? Where the fuck is Willie Nelson[/b], Waylon Jennings[/b], Hank Williams[/b], or Johnny fucking Cash[/b]? Whole fucking genres of music are unfucking represented here. Enough with the middle aged white guy classic rock, please

Eat shit train boy. I left off infinity times infinity of my favorite bands/artists. Did you see your fellow Claremont Colleges bro Frank Zappa included in the seedings? Nope.

Sure, but you left off too many genres and time periods, and focused mostly on classic rock.
I'd have liked some more R&B, hip hop, blues (which the Rolling Stones fucking stole), reggae, ska, punk, new wave, country, and electronica. All of these are completely unrepresented.

Read the OP on page 1, @AZDuck . This BOTB was rock[/i] artists from the 1960s to the present only. We'll cover all of the other genres in future BOTB. We can argue about the rock seedings all day long, of course.

this bored is gay and your all fags
"battle of the bands" sucks with just old white guy music from the 1970's. Another off-season is too long. I will probably be dead of a drug overdose after watching Cristal Ballzdeep lead my Ducks to the Las Vegas Bowel again this season.
