This thread is bringing out the best in everyone. It's one of my favorite threads ever.

(I still haven't been able to bring myself to vote one way or the other. If it was Like/Don't Like, I think I could vote DL, but I don't know if they're bad enough to get a Crap... or, to put it another way, I can't bring myself to give a crap.)

Each of these people, united as they appear to be in their normative assumptions about music, will also have a fondess for some artist that the other four dislike, and possibly even detest. "Why" this it the case is something that can't easily be explained or theorized. Call it the case of the fifth dentist.

True.

And I just got back from the dentist an hour ago, and my fucking gums are in PAIN.

We need a face-off poll between the wacky-zany hipster shit on T&G and the faceless postpunk on Dischord. The loser gets the put up against the stoner shit on SST.

Sorry, the SST stoner shit does not get a bye. Put them up against the aural wallpaper on Matador first.

Hey, Marsupialized! I'll bet that you would have loved this late '60s hippy, sunshine, and roses band called "It's a Beautiful Day".

Seriously, dude, check out their catalog. I'll bet you would have loved the "Cowsills", too.

Nothing wrong with loving twee hippy sunshine factory music. Just realize that Cuckold Rosie wasn't the first. Others were there first. And if you don't realize that, you are a NEWBIE. Pay tribute to those who laid the groundwork.

Damn - so far, that definitely has to be the most vividly accurate verbal description of that particular caterwauling what hit my ears last September at T&G25...

hell yeah it is accurate. he's pretty eloquent when reviewing bullshit:

Along the way, Diane Cluck, Jana Hunter and some French rapper also make appearances, desperately trying to pad the album with artistic heft, so that no one will notice the undernourished, bulimic 13-year-old girl at the heart of the album. Please, someone feed her and pay attention to her. I can't do it, but somebody really should.
