> \*Originally posted by UNFLUX \* > \*\*The Vines?? are you kidding? My point about being another Nirvana follows this thought process - 50’s = Elvis 60’s = Beatles 70’s = Led Zeppelin 80’s = Michael Jackson 90’s = Nirvana 00’s = ??? That’s what I mean by that. No one will ever replace or do what each of the aforementioned have to music industry, and no one can argue that. However, none of the music acts these days have had the impact that these have. \*\* You have to understand something about the music industry. I don’t think there will be another nirvana, simply because music is incredibly diversified right now. If you look back at each decade, a lot of the music sounds the same. You have your 80s pop, your 70s rock, etc… the 90s started out the same, but the internet really changed that. In the decades before, people used to listen only to what they could buy in the record store and what was fed through the radio, and it was a very few bands (Metallica) who made it without using this medium. However, Napster culture and online radio seriously changed that. We have access to any type of music we want, and there are a lot of people (like me) who pride themselves in finding artists that the major record companies ignore. The music industry is yeah, losing money because people are downloading music, but also because people are buying from independent artists more and more. When you think about it - the 80s happened because record companies just went with what worked. There was an artist that everybody liked, and record companies all of a sudden signed artists that sounded exactly like them. It happened with Nirvana (Soundgarden, Screaming Trees, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains). It happened with Britney (Christina Aguilera, Mandy Moore… etc). It happened with Limp Bizkit (The whole nu metal thing). However, things like that are happening less and less, especially because consumers are being more picky and more diverse about what they listen to. If you mean revolutionize music in that Nirvana came out with a style that NO ONE had heard before, then I suggest you search around because artists like that are already out there. You don’t have to get your music through the radio or through MTV. But if you mean revolutionize music in that everybody will try to copy some band out there… that just sucks. ---

I’m sure she didn’t drive it - I’m sure she was given a lift. Kit would never drive without a licence nor insurance particularly as she works for Churchill, would she? **Would she?** :evil: ---

It’s not about chords, it’s about how good their songs were. It’s entirely possible to write a really good song with 2 chords. ---

I think a lot of the impression Nirvana had was not only just from the music, but also, and maybe to a degree greater, style - both visually and in attitude. It was the right place in the right time for a generation who needed a shift of ideals and in a way dress heh. ---

> \*Originally posted by Ilyas Masa \* > \*\*Ditto :-\ I don’t think they have more than 2 chords in their whole repertoire… \*\* > hey nirvana was really talented. i really don’t like people who blame some bands for only using a few chords in their songs: nirvana, everclear, blink-182 (though i do hate them for who they are), green day, etc. notice anything about these bands? they all have three members in their group. do you know how difficult it is to pull off a fabulous riff and still be able to sing at the same time? with those bands, you have the standard guitarist, bassist, and drums; and guess who does vocals most of the time: guitarist. sorry if i’m coming off as harsh, but i’m just trying to explain. as for nirvana, i think the thing that hit them off was the lyrics. kurt cobain wrote sometimes the most darkest and mysterious lyrics, but people loved it. they also loved hearing him sing it. the thing that sets this industry apart from say a decade ago is the fact that nobody is original anymore. today you have groups that don’t only have an attractiveness, but a voice (apparently, in most cases). but they are simply given a piece of paper with words to sing. then when they are done with that, their agents or music label hires some dance instructor to help do a couple moves in front of some camera. but this sells. there are only a handful of bands out there who still do what they do because they like doing it, not for any fame or money or attention. That’s why as of late, i’ve been listening to some of the lesser known bands because i know they are trying just as hard, maybe even harder, to get their music out, but are not mentioned, not played on the radio, etc. Right now i am listening to Watashi Wa, Mad at gravity (for almost a year now), Armor for Sleep, and Julianna Theory. ---

I totally agree with all you guys. 95% of todays music is manufactured and sold to us by a pretty face. The only thing to come close to revolutionary lately is britney, and that’s sad, because she is so far from it. She’s just a madonna wanna-be that doesn’t write her own songs. Stuff like that makes me really bugs. Also when people think they discovered this unknown band on like Good Charlotte on MTV it really pisses me off. How many of them have been listening to them for 3+ years? Not many have. I for one can’t stand them now but their old stuff is amazing. If you are looking for some good unknown bands and are into pop punk check out Off by One, Yellowcard, My Chemical Romance, Matchbook Romance, Finch, Something Corporate, and Taking Back Sunday. ---

Kit would never drive without a licence nor insurance particularly as she works for Churchill, would she? **Would she?** :evil: \*\* Of course I wouldn’t. 🙂 J was driving, I was sitting in the passenger seat looking cool as hell. :beam: I think that there’s some good bands out there, you just have to look a little bit for them. My whole CD rack is a mixture of larger groups (Offspring, Placebo, Skunk Anansie) and one album wonders (Rialto, Electrasy, Seafood)… 🙂 I have two Good Charlotte albums, because I like their music. I don’t care about the image they, or any other band, project. I’ve heard people moan about GC for not being ‘punk’ enough - who gives a monkeys? If the music makes you hum along or tap your feet, then enjoy it. For God’s sake, I even kinda like some of Busted’s music… The only things that I don’t really like listening to are dance / trance and cheesy pop. They annoy me. No real talent or tunes whatsoever. 🙂 ---

Has anyone heard “the Mars Volta: de-loused in the comatorium”? I bought it on a whim because it caught my eye. I’m glad I did, its one of the best CD’s I’ve heard in a while! I’m not really sure what to compare it to, and I don’t know anything about the band, but really enjoy their album! ---

Pete Rock & CL Smooth - Mecca and The Soul Brotha The Roots - The Tipping Point Mecca and The Soul Brotha is an album of absolute perfection; The tipping point is quite a nice listen, although kinda sucks that it only has 10 tracks on it ---
