most influential seattle band(s)?

[CKY2K_Chicka777]

bored and wondering

[Prem]

Probably Nirvana, though definitely not my favorite. They did bring grunge to the mainstream, after all.

[Regards]

Not Nirvana.

[chipdip18]

Pearl Jam!

[summer skin]

the Blood Brothers.

[Burning Star IV]

Botch.

[absolutecrunk]

Are you kidding me? That's like saying "Are there any good bands out of Liverpool?"

[summer skin]

Are you kidding me? That's like saying "Are there any good bands out of Liverpool?"
...the horrors?

[Getup and Dance]

Aiden > Every other seattle band

[BSS182]

Easily pearl jam or nirvana, even though both are beaten to death on the radio!!!

[absolutecrunk]

...the horrors?
wehavawinnah!

[micahistheballs]

Most influential is Nirvana. No contest.

[summer skin]

Pearl Jam is such a shitty fucking band.

[BSS182]

They certainly are, i hate them so bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Getup and Dance]

How do people forget Jimi Hendrix?

[summer skin]

How do people forget Summer Skin?
Idunno, I always thought I was a swell guy.

[Getup and Dance]

I wonder if i can beat summer skin to 10K

[Circa1628]

Nirvana no contest

[Ouch]

Aiden

[Chris Fallon]

What the hell is going on this week? The same users making thread after thread.

[tiphany]

Botch.

Yes.

[theguy77]

fuck influence.

death cab for cutie.

[xerickx24]

Aiden > Every other seattle band

im hoping that was sarcasm

[liar23]

nirvana

[KatieKutthroat.]

im hoping that was sarcasm

Nah, that wasn't sarcasm. He's a pretty huge Aiden fan.

[xerickx24]

to each their own

Botch and Blood Brothers are for sure a good representation of influential music that has come out of Seattle emphasis on Botch a lot of bands mention them as influences

[Hey Kevin]

Modest Mouse
Sunny Day Real Estate

Sub Pop records was pretty influential

[thesafeword]

Throw Me the Statue isn't influential, but fucking good.

[thesafeword]

Nah, that wasn't sarcasm. He's a pretty huge Aiden fan.
Samesies.

[KatieKutthroat.]

Samesies.

Ah. I suspected. See, I'm more of an Avenged Sevenfold girl myself. But Aiden's still pretty great.

[Protested Hero]

How has no one said Gatsbys American Dream yet?

[theguy77]

because when death cab for cutie is just one of the bands of that caliber to come out of seattle, a band like gatsbys american dream doesnt matter at all.

[wewascontenders]

lol

[chipdip18]

How has no one said Gatsbys American Dream yet?

Gatsbys wasn't influencial at all.

[Kerplunk_23]

I would say Mudhoney and The Melvins myself.

[chokeychicken]

lol

most influential?

its nirvana, you ******s. whether you like them or not, they influenced almost, if not every band you listen to.

[tomakebelieve]

How has no one said Gatsbys American Dream yet?

I was thinking the same thing.

[crookedneighbor]

Weezer much?

ben.

[Hey Kevin]

Melvins for sure!!!

Weezer?
the southern california band?

[theguy77]

lol

most influential?

its nirvana, you ******s. whether you like them or not, they influenced almost, if not every band you listen to.

hooray, i got six stars! im goin to hollywood!

[thesafeword]

Ah. I suspected. See, I'm more of an Avenged Sevenfold girl myself. But Aiden's still pretty great.
Aiden and A7X are such swell bands, golly gee their new tapes should sound just lovely. A good ol' fashion way to stick it to ma and pa.

[Protested Hero]

because when death cab for cutie is just one of the bands of that caliber to come out of seattle, a band like gatsbys american dream doesnt matter at all.

false

[Jumpoff]

How has no one said Gatsbys American Dream yet?

Because they suck, and haven't influenced anything.

[Yes. And?]

hooray, i got six stars! im goin to hollywood!
heh

[Protested Hero]

Because they suck, and haven't influenced anything.

3L17157

[zeropunk16]

Alice in Chains, Blood Brothers, Melvins

[Jumpoff]

3L17157

Yeah. You got me. I'm an elitist who happens ot listen to Protest the Hero, Brand New, and Say Anything. Go figure.


Melvins

I agree. Two thumbs up.

[chipdip18]

Whether or not Gatsbys was good is all opinion, however it is fact that they aren't influencial at all.

[theguy77]

saying gatsby's american dream in this thread is like saying the scene aesthetic in this thread.

[Jumpoff]

or like saying Sir Mix A Lot in this thread.

[Getup and Dance]

Hey the Swass album was a good old school hip hop album.

[Jumpoff]

Haha, I knew you'd be the one to answer that. And yeah, still, regardless of how good an artist is, it doesn't mean that artist is influential at all :-p

[dissident]

they're overrated but nirvana, and most definitely pearl jam. both bands influenced two different types of styles and vocal styles.

[Until The Bombs]

Pearl Jam is such a shitty fucking band.

M-(

Nirvana. Botch. Who ever influenced DCFC.

[dissident]

i'm constantly blown away by people who say pearl jam sucks. especially here, the direction they took with their music is complete indie type rock. it seems right up this place's alley.

[AlternateToLife]

This thread is ridiculous. Nirvana is the most influencial band out of Seattle. Best? No. Most influencial? No fuck.

[dissident]

yeah the answer is so obvious some people refuse to say it just to be different.

[Getup and Dance]

But The Melvins influenced Nirvana, so would that make The Melvins the most influencial band?

[Until The Bombs]

But The Melvins influenced Nirvana, so would that make The Melvins the most influencial band?

They weren't from Seattle were they?

Edit: They were close enough.

[AlternateToLife]

But The Melvins influenced Nirvana, so would that make The Melvins the most influencial band?

I guess that would depend on your take on the phrase "most influencial". I would say no, but I guess it's arguable...

[dissident]

no. i hate that logic, it just doesn't work. nirvana and pearl jam influenced all the shitty post-grunge bands that came around and even most of the shit alt. rock bands around today. not the melvins, nirvana. by that logic you just go all the way down the line til you hit Elvis.

[AlternateToLife]

no. i hate that logic, it just doesn't work. nirvana and pearl jam influenced all the shitty post-grunge bands that came around and even most of the shit alt. rock bands around today. not the melvins, nirvana. by that logic you just go all the way down the line til you hit Elvis.

I don't think Elvis is from Seattle....


I agree.

[kevinrocks409]

b-o-t-c-h Botch Botch botch!

[theguy77]

yeah the answer is so obvious some people refuse to say it just to be different.

yeah but i hate the question "most influential", i dont care who's being copied the most i care who sounds the best to me.

[theguy77]

no. i hate that logic, it just doesn't work. nirvana and pearl jam influenced all the shitty post-grunge bands that came around and even most of the shit alt. rock bands around today. not the melvins, nirvana. by that logic you just go all the way down the line til you hit Elvis.

haha exactly which is why i dont care

but thats not all i mean they influenced a lot of what came to be modern fake pop-punk which is a big part of what i listen to. i still dont like them at all though.

[saysmydoctor]

How has no one said Gatsbys American Dream yet?
Because that band is fucking terrible?
b-o-t-c-h Botch Botch botch!
