Hahaha. Oh gosh. I was just about to edit that but you caught it. I meant to say I'm excited for Strike Anywhere's new album that's coming out in '09 I think, and typed C I V I L W A R, I'm listening to that right now.

ohh no! I'm sorry. I do that all the time! But yeah, new SA is going to be really interesting. I'm excited to see what they do without their normal guitarist.
Everyone here can quote me on this: Strike Anywhere will end up being one of the best punk bands of our generation.

It's not a question of musical ability or complexity at all. Here's a small breakdown of why I posted as I did.
1) You acted like the guiding fucking light of music. And you're not pumpkin. Opinions and assholes man, everyone's got them.
2) You personally attacked a genre of music that has played a big role in my life. I didn't jump into your sludge threads and tell you fuckers to cut your retarded Yngwie hair and listen to something played with a four string bass.
So suck my dick, I like orgcore because it's fun and has a consistent theme of togetherness and positivity and a social conscience. You CAN sit down and listen to something that doesn't have a blistering fucking solo in 7/25 time. Listening to music doesn't have to be a complete fucking task.

There is no difference between band 1 and band 10 on the lists I have read in this thread. They sound the exact same, the formula is the exact same, the splatter vinyl represses are the exact same, the trend is fucking awful. The music sucks and is repetitive. It's not my fault you you idiots have 1 dimensional lists of probably the shittiest and most overrated genre/style of music today that is just one big giant rip off of Kid Dynamite and the Circle Jerks.

Pygmy Lush is doing a split with THOU. How the fuck does that even work?

Get off your high horse. Good Luck is a ripoff of Defiance, Ohio and Cap'n Jazz, The Hold Steady is a ripoff of the E Street Band, and the Gaslight Anthem is a Springsteen ripoff. Mock Orange sounds nothing like anyone else on my list, and the Smoking Popes were one of the seminal bands in their scene.

I wasn't actually talking about you, I was talking about the relevant posters lists in this thread with more than 11 posts. More so the ones with bold names or the ones that know me, it was a target question at them, to spark an argument. Why you responded is beyond me. I just went with it. I was more willing to discuss my blanket/stupid statements when anyone in this thread that knows/likes me. Not someone with 3 posts that I don't give a shit what they listen to. Most of the lists in this thread are the exact same. I expected Rodeos to be because that's all he listens to. Pretty sure nowhere in the thread does it say, just list orgcore.

Maaan Isis is stoner metal??
Have you ever listened to it baked?
Stoner / sludge... same thing.
Neurosis isn't stoner metal either. I just gave him the benefit of the doubt because "he's got better things to do" like listen to the same orgcore bands that sound exactly a like and raid No Idea's vinyl headquarters on how much shitty splatter represses they do.

If I pissed on you like R. Kelly would you change your mind?
Yeah, this is true... but I was at least hoping that people would post who have some sort of fading admiration for punk.
3 out of the 4 I listed that I like this year fall under an admiration of some sort of punk artform.
Especially the Lewd Acts/Hour of the Wolf Split. How these idiots in this thread are on my case about me hating orgcore and they don't have Hour of the Wolf in their top favorites, they must be new to listening to an orgcore influenced punk band that is actually fucking good.

I just wish the lyrical material of stoner metal would never be getting stoned. When you hear "One More", you'll understand.
I don't really like metal either. I can't describe why. It always makes me think of a bunch of really nerdy guys trying to look tough for the sake of looking tough. It's like gangster music for pasty white motherfuckers.
(I do like Black Sabbath, so it's not like I hate all metal. But like black metal and the other really ridiculous stuff just makes me laugh)

don't listen to the Ocean. That album they put out to gain cred was pretty fucking bad. Their prior work is straight nu-metal almost Killswitch sounding. They are fucking terrible.

I remember not liking it when I think it was.. Ben? jocking it. But regardless, which sludge metal bands do you think are best? Only ones I currently know of are.. Old Man Gloom, Soilent Green, Cult of Luna, and I guess if they count Mastodon.
I remember people calling Isis a "classic in the vein of Converge's Jane Doe and Thrice's Vheissu".
The latter comparison was what fortunately told me to run away from my computer and eat junk food.

I like Neurosis and Boris, but never listened to Isis (or Pelican for that matter). I heard Jesu's pale sketches but didn't like it. I have been thinking about giving it another chance though.
I should probably listen to the Melvins.

Wolves played shows with many hype bands I remember the general forum jerking them off last year, around the same time as the Ocean album dropped. There was big trend of that kind of stuff around here for awhile on these forums. You would have been surprised. It has seem to die off and the Indie craze has taken over those same kids.

Raphael Saadiq -- The Way I See It
this is shit I really need to hear and have been meaning to.
I really like the Jenny Lewis album, but I guess haven't listened to it enough to give it a spot.
Just saying though, this list is great and really says something against the accused lack of music this year

I'm really surprised to see Raphael Saadiq make a list. I also thought the Breeders broke up in the late 90s.

You're excused, becasue you are awesome and I like ya. :-p
And because you have Frank Turner.
Why thank you.
Frank Turner's solo albums have been surprisingly good (not that Million Dead wasn't enjoyable, but I wouldn't have expected a singer-songwriter project from Turner to turn out quite this listenable. It's a nice surprise).
And Chuck Ragan. Orgcore is ever present.
Ragan and Lucas' album was great. I enjoy Hot Water Music, but I'd rather have the solo and collaborative Ragan, truthfully.
Shit... and Raein! Fuck!
Another nice surprise. I haven't been up on my Skramz.

It hasn't been a stellar year, but it's far from dismal. There's been a considerable amount of good albums released.

Saadiq's soul-revivalist sound was a nice throwback that I adored. As for the Breeders, they went on a hiatus in the mid-'90s but reformed around the early '00s. Their latest is worth a look.
