Rodan.

Not Crap!

Most definatley not crap. Rodan Rock'd my world when I first heard them. Nine years later they still make me hard. Ohh so hard.

Lotsa folks I know loved them. I just heard another band afraid to take off their Slint coat

What? You heard all of Rusty, right?
I love Spiderland but it kicked that arachnid's ass
Oh June of 44 did too...
Mueller and co. just took Slint's sound one step further IMHO

I never thought Rodan copied Slint. Obviously they were influenced by them, but their music was much more technical, and it seemed pretty original to me. Rusty is a masterpiece, and their 8 track demos were also very good.

um, excuse me sir.. do you have copies of these 8-track demos? is this the _aviary_ ep, this recording of which you speak?

I have mp3s of it. I also have the John Peel sessions, and a live show from 93. If you have soulseek, my name is: lobstermagnet

NOT CRAP but Rusty hasn't held up too well for me. I listened to it about 6 months ago for the first time in 4 years and was kinda disappointed

Rodan were great and Rusty was a great record, but to say they outdid Slint, ummm.... no.

Rusty = great record

Spiderland = brilliant, shining gem of beauteous tension channeled from the heavens through Slint. That record is like a microscope into the unseeable world of the universal psyche. Okay, I'm sorry... I went too far.

From that day forth (Spiderland release), other bands, including Rodan, can only emmulate the newish sound/genre Slint created.

End of argument.

Why do people always have a problem with bands carrying on what Slint started?

Is there only allowed to be one band for every genre or something?
