Best band created post 1985

[IceAge/HeatWave]

what do you think the best band to form after 1985 is?

[TheOtherAndrew]

Beatallica.

[SamEyes]

Radiohead and why 1985?

Isn't it obvious?

EDIT: It isn't I'm just being annoying, I would also like to know.

[DilesMavis]

The Pixies.

[lenard27]

Foo Fighters.

[DilesMavis]

He's got jokes, that guy...

Lol!

[doyouhas?]

radiohead is the only correct answer, regardless of personal preferences, theyre definitely the best. and i can say that subjectively because theyre not my favorite artist formed since 85.

[SanePsychotic]

dis.

dat.

[theguy77]

*sigh*

as if every form of music over the last 23 years is comparable, and appreciated in the same ways.

[IceAge/HeatWave]

Radiohead and why 1985?

because i didn't want to exclude bands like nirvana who formed before the 90's. i feel like its a dividing line between classic and modern rock

[IceAge/HeatWave]

*sigh*

as if every form of music over the last 23 years is comparable, and appreciated in the same ways.

eventually, if you break it down far enough, not very many bands are comparable. or maybe they are and i'm over thinking it.

i'm going radiohead. even if i like JEW, nirvana, death cab, foo fighters, modest mouse and what not better, radiohead is not even human

[Nourez]

Nirvana, Green Day, Paramore, Jimmy Eat World, Guns n' Roses. 85 was a while back man, and I could keep going with my list. Most of the music I listen to was from the late 80s, 90s and early 00s.

Is this one of those find-the-one-that-doesn't-fit puzzles?

[kearn1tm]

Pavement

[phil19]

i was born in 1985

[LamarVannoy]

Paramore
no. just no.

[IWasaCamera]

Band: Boards Of Canada or Radiohead
Artist: Iron & Wine

[llwilliamsll]

Band: Cap'n Jazz
Artist: Elliott Smith

[Yes. And?]

Nirvana, Green Day, Paramore, Jimmy Eat World, Guns n' Roses. 85 was a while back man, and I could keep going with my list. Most of the music I listen to was from the late 80s, 90s and early 00s.

You need to start going back further than 23 years ago apparently...

[Nourez]

You need to start going back further than 23 years ago apparently...

I do, I listen to The Beatles, Black Sabbath, Rush, Sex Pistols, and a few others. I'm just like more music from the last 20 years or so.

[EndSerenading]

radiohead
the pixies

At the Drive-in

[SamEyes]

If it was from 1982 I'd say The Smiths,

But noooooooooooo.

[PRoman]

Les Savy Fav

[Circa1628]

Third Eye Blind, Saves the Day, or Dredg

[SubrosaSeductiv]

aiden they rulez hard

I'm ashamed to be from the same area as you.

[SaltyEyes]

Nirvana, Fugazi, Anti-flag, jawbreaker, AFI, Blink 182, Goldfinger, Brand new, the matches, Manchester Orchestra, NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL

[kearn1tm]

Many of you have trouble counting.

[Circa1628]

Many of you have trouble counting.

no we just chose multiple bands because we are "rebels"

[SubrosaSeductiv]

Many of you have trouble counting.

I'm sure a lot of these people just wanted to list Brand New, but knew they'd be shunned if they did. It wasn't hip or indie enough. Thus the multiple name drops.

[SaltyEyes]

Blah blah blah, I love music, so im going to pick alot of bands.

[Circa1628]

I'm sure a lot of these people just wanted to list Brand New, but knew they'd be shunned if they did. It wasn't hip or indie enough. Thus the multiple name drops.

[kearn1tm]

Yeah you are. Up the anarchy! Jesus man, you're so fucking edgy, I think I cut myself just reading your words.

I'm sure a lot of these people just wanted to list Brand New, but knew they'd be shunned if they did. It wasn't hip or indie enough. Thus the multiple name drops.

Sandwiching Brand New in between Radiohead and My Bloody Valentine just makes it stand out all the more. Ha.

[kearn1tm]

like Pavement

Well, admittedly, they're no Chiodos.

[SaltyEyes]

Where is all the Fugazi?

[Circa1628]

Well, admittedly, they're no Chiodos.

no, they are just the cliche indie band

[kearn1tm]

no, they are just the cliche indie band

If I knew nothing about music beyond whatever band played the Hurley stage, I'd say this too.

Pux CRED!

[Burn That Shit]

If I knew nothing about music beyond whatever band played the Hurley stage, I'd say this too.

You're a really cool guy!

Anyway, I thought it was pretty funny when that kid who listed guns & roses and paramore came back and name dropped ATDI.

[SubrosaSeductiv]

no, they are just the cliche indie band

It definitely isn't cliche for any trendster, punk/hardcore fan or genre nazi to name drop Fugazi either.

[Circa1628]

If I knew nothing about music beyond whatever band played the Hurley stage, I'd say this too.

Pux CRED!


you should start reading all my posts, since you are basing your opinions only on the fact that I like Chiodos.

I list my three favorite bands in this thread as

Saves the Day
Dredg
Third Eye Blind

Saves the Day has played Warped tour, so you have a point there.

Dredg and Third Eye Blind are not in the "Warped Tour" genre at all.


So I know nothing about bands that don't play on the hurley stage?

[Circa1628]

Third Eye Blind? Saves the Day? Jesus. How are you 21?

Forgive me, you're right. The only music worth listening to is whatever is featured in Alternative Press.

EDIT - Dredg is decent (and that's being nice).

[Circa1628]

Forgive me, you're right. The only music worth listening to is whatever is featured in Alternative Press.

The fact that I listen to those bands shows that I am 21 because they peaked when I started listening to music a lot.

Just curious, have you heard any music by Saves the Day or Third Eye Blind that weren't singles?

Nothing bad to say about Dredg?

[kearn1tm]

You're a really cool guy!

Well I know we don't agree on most things, but for me being the age I am and having the musical influences I do, dredg is right up my alley. Luckily Ben rec'd them for me while discussing TREOS.

I'm your age. I know what "peaked." You're confined by nostalgia. When I began to mature, I wanted something greater, something challenging in the medium I love. Apparently, you haven't.

Oh, and yes, I went through my Saves the Day phase when I was 16 or so, so I've listened to my fair share. As for Third Eye Blind, my freshmen roommate played them incessantly.

Regardless, what you listen to is extremely limited and awful. I'd imagine you'd want something more. I'm mistaken. Pity.

Nothing bad to say about Dredg?

They're very pedestrian Prog Rock. They had a listenable album (El Ciello, I believe), that was nothing more than "decent," and capable at best. I'm sorry you find mediocrity so wonderful.

[SubrosaSeductiv]

Through Being Cool and Blue.

You can't dislike Third Eye Blind just because someone overplayed them for you, that would happen with any band.

You matured a little too much, Bruce Springsteen?

I will agree with a little of your music though, because I don't like to disagree with everything people say. The Velvet Underground are a great/underrated band.

[Circa1628]

Through Being Cool and Blue.

wow, I was surprised to hear Blue, a lot of people think that album isn't up there for Third Eye Blind. Through Being Cool is no surprise though.

[SubrosaSeductiv]

wow, I was surprised to hear Blue, a lot of people think that album isn't up there for Third Eye Blind. Through Being Cool is no surprise though.

I loved Blue, not sure why. Through Being Cool is typical, but I get hard for most pop-punk. That I feel is their poppiest album.

[kearn1tm]

You can't dislike Third Eye Blind just because someone overplayed them for you, that would happen with any band.

I dislike them because they're terrible Pop Rock without substance. They're exactly like every other Post-Grunge Alternapoprock band to emerge in the mid '90s.

You matured a little too much, Bruce Springsteen?
Apparently, you haven't enough. You don't like music. You like a very limited, compartmentalized sound that isn't subversive, challenging or meaningful. It's unfortunate, but many don't. It's quite obvious you view music as a disposable entertainment medium.

I will agree with a little of your music though, because I don't like to disagree with everything people say. The Velvet Underground are a great/underrated band.

How are they underrated? In the '60s, yes, they never charted well, but in successive decades, VU have become one of the most lauded acts of their time and was highly influential on Punk, and to a lesser extent, No Wave movement and Industrial. Virtually all music press, critics and enthusiasts hail this band for their brilliance.

I'm assuming they're "underrated" because those you converse with frequently haven't heard of them or don't listen to much outside that very marginalized sound you love so much.

You are even negative when I agree with you on a band, you need a hug.

The reason I say they are underrated is because they are outshadowed by bigger, more well-known bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors, and The Beatles.

"Heroin" is an amazing song.

That's your response, which is predictable, because, really, it's very evident you aren't well-versed in anything beyond Pop Rock. Huzzah. Just as I suspected. Great.

They're "overshadowed" to people who have no idea about music. Yes, to the people you commonly associate with, I'm sure they're "overshadowed." To those who care about music as a medium, they're the furthest thing from "underrated."

[Until The Bombs]

1.How was mine predictable when the second paragraph you wrote repeated things you said in your post before this one?

2.Why are you so negative?
We were at each others throats, and then I realized it was stupid and immature to fight about MUSIC, which is all personal opinion. There is no right and wrong music. I tried to make it positive by finding a band that you enjoy, that I also enjoy and you threw it back, having to find something wrong with the post.

3. Seriously, do you want a hug?

[Circa1628]

Fixed. Although I can't listen to Zeppelin or Floyd.


haha funny. I like Zeppelin and Floyd. Out of those four bands my favorite would probably be the Doors, even though I know most people would probably go with the Beatles

[kearn1tm]

1.How was mine predictable when the second paragraph you wrote repeated things you said in your post before this one?

What are you asking me? Are you accusing me of hypocrisy or trying to connect two unrelated things?

Your response was, essentially, wrong in every conceivable fashion. VU is not "underrated." I gave you valid reasons that you argued with flawed logic and dismissed the entire discussion by saying I'm "negative."

2.Why are you so negative?

Idiocy annoys me.

You completely interjected yourself into a conversation I was having, make a sarcastic crack at me, and I proceeded to dish it back. You know nothing about music, stop pretending you can have a discussion about it. You dismiss Pavement, the band that crafted the modern sound adopted by many bands that are associated with the alt rock sound that falls under the "Indie" label? One of the most influential bands of the last twenty years? You think VU is underrated because "my friends know Zep, and Floyd has t-shirt sold at Target?" You make stupid comments. I'm going to challenge them. You'll interpret that as "negativity."

We were at each others throats, and then I realized it was stupid and immature to fight about MUSIC, which is all personal opinion.

Yet another stupid comment predicated on ignorance of the medium and art criticism and critique on a whole.

3. Seriously, do you want a hug?

Witty. No, seriously, it just as funny this time as it was the last three times or so.

[kearn1tm]

Fixed. Although I can't listen to Zeppelin or Floyd.

VU was better than all of those bands, save for The Beatles (of which they were as influential), but I don't understand comparing apples to oranges.

Off all of those bands, I'm least familiar with VU. I was just doing a poor job of being a dick. Agree with the apples to oranges though. None of those bands are similar.

no thats what i was saying, there are so many fucking bands who did amazing and innovative things in so many different ways and in so many different genres i mean why would you even try to pick out the best one? you cant compare them because all the most important bands did well in different areas. its pointless to make a "best" thread because theres too many factors to consider and people are always going to pick their preferences anyway.

well, all "best" is is an opinion basically. because thats all you get out of these threads anyways. the purpose in posting a thread is to get replies, and since the replies are posted by individuals, who inevitably post their opinions, as they should, they can say who they think as best. so really, its whoever you think is the best. i'm sure if you think about, there is a band that sticks out in your mind as the best. it doesn't mean they are. it just means, ultimately, you like them the best

What Muse songs are you listening to? How does 'Butterflies and Hurricanes' sound anything like 'Time is Running Out' or 'Supermassive Blackhole' sound like 'Assassin'? Just picking those two pairs as they are from the same albums and I would assume you have listened to a whole album.

Question though, what makes you "know stuff"? Also, who cares if he doesn't like Pavement? Accept people's musical taste as what it is and don't be such a condescending douche about it next time.

Oh and for my picks, I nominate Nirvana, Rage Against The Machine or Radiohead.

[Melkor]

His vocals bore me so much, I instantly don't care for the song because of how he sings pretty much 90% of the time. I have seen them live as well and whilst they were good musicians, I didn't find them as incredible as everyone makes out.

To be honest, I never really had much of an opinion of them until I saw them live and they blew me away. This was just coming off their last album and relistening I discovered a lot of their stuff was rezlly good, there was something about the CDs that seeing them live just made it all click.

Matt Bellamy does have very bad breathing both on record and live though, so that might be it.

Anyways, not a Muse thread, and I can't really decide on the thread question.

[Yes. And?]

Yeah, I hear they're really great live.

[x togepi x]

most of these suggestions are fail all around.

radiohead? lol

[theguy77]

as opposed to what goes on in chats:

HEY THERE'S A GIRL HERE LET'S ASK HER FOR NOODZ AND HIT ON HER
HEY I'M A GIRL, I'M GOING TO PRETEND TO HIT ON THIS OTHER GIRL AND ACT LIKE LESBIANS BECAUSE THAT'S FUNNY

lol this place is such a joke

to be fair, this didnt happen in chat threads until people started drifting over from PL.

[x togepi x]

to be fair, this didnt happen in chat threads until people started drifting over from PL.

well yeah they should have deleted that worthless forum awhile go.

[theguy77]

well yeah they should have deleted that worthless forum awhile go.

yeah there really are enough forums on the internet for that sort of thing. ive been in a couple times but every thread always turns into online flritation

[kearn1tm]

Haha, weak analogy dude.

...OMGosh he laughed!!!!LoLlLOL.

I know it wasn't nearly as funny as posting a video nobody watched or asking me if I'm 5. That's comedy gold.

Question though, what makes you "know stuff"?
I'm not claiming to be a musical historian, but I'm relatively well-read, well-listened and well-versed in the medium.


Also, who cares if he doesn't like Pavement? Accept people's musical taste as what it is and don't be such a condescending douche about it next time.
This is where I berate you for being utterly stupid.

Read the actual posts before you come in, guns-ablazing against the AP Elitistas. The kid said Pavement was nothing more than a boring indie band, essentially ignoring the profound impact the band had on a particular subgenre and sound in the '90s along with the vast critical acclaim they've received, proving his ignorance of the particular sound they ushered in/helped to mold. If you say something stupid, I'm going to accentuate said stupidity and explain why, in fact, the comment was devoid of thought.

Moreover, this kid picked a fight with me in another thread, which lead to this spar of words. Of course, you'd not know that, but if you actually read the rest of our interaction in this thread, you'd have some context to our discussion.

I don't care what you listen to, but if you make comments without foundation or information, I'm going to call you out for it. Also, if you pick a fight with me, I'm probably going to be a dick.

Oh, and seriously, you should work on being less stupid.

[EndSerenading]

pavement ftw.

[IWasaCamera]

Muse is indeed boring.

[EndSerenading]

I think Muse was very promising early in their career, the first few albums I really enjoyed, but then it became apparent that they really stick to the same chord progressions, techniques, and song structures over and over the for the most part. Each of their newer albums certainly have some solid songs and they are definitely good musicians, but they need to branch out a little more.

[alice+interiors]

Lol nowadays. You are new here.
I've been here for what, seven to eight months? Long enough to see change, anyway.

[SaltyEyes]

All forums are the same, there's no point arguing about a forum.

He might not like the music, but what does have that have to do with the band's influence? There's a ton of bands who's music I don't particularly enjoy, but I still respect their impact. I'm pretty sure he didn't say anything about that, but off you went on your little holier-than-thou hipster rant. And off you go again, this time towards me. Get over yourself man, it's nauseating how full of shit you are.

[kearn1tm]

It is astonishing to me just how much of the point you miss. I will never chastise someone for not enjoying a highly subversive, critically lauded or innovative band, so long as they appreciate the simple fact that they can acknowledge what the band has done. To say "Pavement is a boring indie band" is to completely discredit everything they've contributed to music in the last twenty years, which is complete ignorance. It's fine to proclaim "I don't like Pavement's music," but you still must concede to what they've meant to that Alt Rock/Indie subgenre.

For instance, I'm not particularly fond of the Beatles. I do, however, completely understand and respect all they've done for the pop-music lexicon as well as the vast, never-ending influence their music has had on the medium. They're amazing, however, in my personal, subjective template of what constitutes as "enjoyable music," nothing save for Revolver and parts of the White Album have particularly appeal to me. However, if someone was listing them as "most important band of the '60s," I'd never contest this, because they're easily one of the most important bands of that decade, despite my personal distaste for most of their music.

Yet, you continue to display the fact that you don't understand this concept.

You're "pretty sure" because you didn't read the entire exchange in your huff to "totally stick it to that elitist." He completely reduced the band to a "boring indie band" because he didn't like the fact I burned him in a previous thread, and he's wrong and stupid. Seriously, kids like you make this place incapable of meaningful conversation about music.

And off you go again, this time towards me. Get over yourself man, it's nauseating how full of shit you are.
It's sickening how much rampant idiocy is in these threads and that you kids don't stop to actually contemplate what it is we're ("we're" being the handful of people who are capable of having substantial discourse on the medium) telling you. You're far too convinced that we're "elitists" to process the sentiment behind the posts. Seriously. You should leave this board until you grow up, because you contribute nothing of merit.

[IWasaCamera]

Enjoying myself some Crooked Rain at the moment.

[chipdip18]

Yeah all this talk of Pavement kind of makes me want to listen to them right now too.

this right here ought to be required reading for anyone in the forum.

Didn't listen, you're an elitist.





I joke, I was a bit like that when I joined but I do listen to you guys more now haha.

I read over the exchange before even making the first post. He never said anything about the band not meaning shit to indie rock or whatever you're going on about. He just called them boring, which pertains to the music itself, not their influence. It's as simple as that.

Also, I'm not a kid, I'm older than you are. In this case alone, you proved my entire point of how condescending you come across.

Lastly, I don't like the Beatles either. In fact, I'm a pretty big Pavement fan. I love music. You and I could probably talk music all day long. However, here's the problem: the way you present yourself (at least on this forum) is just off-setting based on the sheer amount of pretentiousness you exude when discussing "the medium." It doesn't have to be like that. I still listen to a ton of pop punk and even some mainstream alt-rock from when I was growing up. Does that mean my scope is limited and I don't know as much as you do? Doubt it.

[Yes. And?]

And the beat goes on...

[kearn1tm]

Yes, he said they're merely a boring indie band. That's it. He essentially reduced them to nothing more or less and implied I only choose them for "cred," indicating he has no idea why they should aptly be a viable candidate for such a question.

Stop being stubborn and read.

Also, I'm not a kid, I'm older than you are. In this case alone, you proved my entire point of how condescending you come across.

Of course I'm calling you kid, you've given me nothing else to go on but these posts, which would put you around 16ish.

Lastly, I don't like the Beatles either. In fact, I'm a pretty big Pavement fan. I love music. You and I could probably talk music all day long.

Doubtful.

However, here's the problem: the way you present yourself (at least on this forum) is just off-setting based on the sheer amount of pretentiousness you exude when discussing "the medium."

You've misused the word "pretentious."

I'm coming across as an ass to a kid who targeted me in another thread, and proceeded to suggest I'd chosen Pavement merely for cred. Of course I'll hold no punches. Neither do some of the other posters who actually are capable of real discussion, ala' Vinh (I always feel like I've spelled that wrong), Ben, Topegi and the list of others. We don't have tolerance for this inanity. It detracts from the conversation and contributes nothing, just as you've done by attempting to champion the "poor scene kids standing up against the might of the awful elitist."

Pretentiousness is exuding a false sense or affectation of importance to their opinions. There's nothing "false" about telling a kid who claims I choose a band who meant much to a particular subgenre and sound in the '90s and '00s to fuck off and that he's stupid.

It doesn't have to be like that. I still listen to a ton of pop punk and even some mainstream alt-rock from when I was growing up. Does that mean my scope is limited and I don't know as much as you do? Doubt it.

Sure, I came from shitty scene music too, then I grew up. That's not the point. The point here is you impeeding on a conversation that had nothing to do with you about a kid angry he was scorned in another thread trying to tell me I chose a band for nothing more than simple posturing; which also indicates he isn't well aware of how much they've meant, or he'd understand that they're a valid choice. This was stupid.

He also said other things that weren't correct. The Velvet Underground is far from underrated. Unknown to many casual and mainstream music listeners, yes. Underrated? No. I told him why he was wrong. You call this pretention. I call this "knowing about music." Pretention is if I told him something false and lauded it over him as if I were superior. He's wrong, I'm right. It's simple.

You're not going to agree with this, that's fine. You're far too stubborn and foolish to actually try and read what I'm saying.

This. Never heard of the band mind you.

kearn is a breath of fresh air in this wave of cutesy new users who are too nice to take a chance. I mean, I have pretty poor taste in what I listen to and good taste in what I respect but, my god, at least I have the decency to try and contribute some form of humor or insight. We need more polarizing members cuz god knows it isn't going to be me.
