Rate the Person Above You's Taste in Music
 
Alright, here goes, we'll see if it catches on. Basically, post a couple bands you like, they don't have to be your favorites they could just be some new bands you've gotten into recently, and the person underneath you will judge a couple of them and make an overall appraisal of your taste in music. I'll go first:

Pere Ubu
Meat Puppets
Husker Du
My Bloody Valentine
Polvo
Slint
Tool
Dinosaur Jr.
Minutemen
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Wire
Television
Pavement
Blonde Redhead
Thinking Fellers Union Local #282
Mercury Rev
Black Sabbath
Kyuss

Embrace [DC]

cardboard adolescent 12-20-2006 08:33 PM

Rachel's = great post-rock

crowquill - Most of the mellow stuff on your list just kind of bugs me, Death Cab, Sigur Ros, Elliot Smith, none of 'em do very much for me. Decemberists and Converge are pretty good but most of the other stuff on your list I don't really like or know. I respect most of it though, save Thursday and Blink.

swim - good list overall, a couple bands i've never really gotten into (sebadoh, built to spill) and more that i don't know. obviously i love the fall, clinic, dinosaur jr, i'm not that into indie or emo but to each his own. no bands that i despise so, good enough.

cardboard adolescent 12-20-2006 08:44 PM

sweet, i'm not so much into the ultra-heavy death metal or whatever but I'm always down for some good doom so kyuss, black sabbath, sleep etc three severed thumbs up. if metal does it for you that's cool with me, i'd probably get bored without branching out a bit more, but a cool list nevertheless

some high number / some slightly higher number

8/10

what ive listened to
in the last month
that stood out
1. Radiohead
2. white stripes
3. saetia
4. Kyuss
5. Thom Yorke (soloness)

cardboard adolescent 01-13-2007 08:18 PM

a half point for radiohead, one point for kyuss, one point for thom yorke, nothing for white stripes since I don't particularly like them, and i'll give you a 1/pi point for saetia since i've never actually heard them and thus can't make a valid judgement. out of five, times two to be out of ten, and you get:

5.636.../10


here's what i've been into lately:

Kinks
Four Tet
United States of America
Suicide
Killing Joke
Faust
Lady Sovereign
Dizzee Rascal
Dandy Warhols
Ice-T

Sneer 01-13-2007 08:23 PM

6/10, i absolutely hate suicide. the kinks, four tet and dizzee rascal save you. lady sovereign? British grime at its most intolerable.

past couple of weeks:

white stripes
13th floor elevators
? & the mysterions
the fall
the psychedelic furs
twisted charm
the libertines (go figure)
the kinks
the sonics
the locust

cardboard adolescent 01-13-2007 08:24 PM

zilch... even though you listed one of the same artists I did?

I guess my White Stripes comment pissed you off?

Sneer 01-13-2007 08:30 PM

eeyeyey, keep your niknaks on, i merely did not see the list you submitted so i thought i didnt have anything to rate - thus the zilch. once i realised you had a list i edited my comment. i very much like the fact you have the stripes in your list, im particularly rinsing the debut for all its worth at the moment, such a good album.

cardboard adolescent 01-13-2007 08:35 PM

I find Lady Sovereign amusing and catchy. And even if you hate Suicide, you at least have to respect their musical significance...

Sneer 01-13-2007 08:39 PM

dont get me wrong, their influence on punk, new wave and electroclash is something to be respected, but like throbbing gristle, i just dont like the music. lady sovereign is just a fool who typifies the subculture that i hate. her music is just..ergh.

cardboard adolescent 01-13-2007 08:43 PM

I don't see the glaring distinction between Dizzee Rascal and Lady Sovereign, but to each his own.

Sneer 01-13-2007 08:46 PM

of course theres a distinction, their styles and sounds are completely different.

Frances 01-13-2007 09:27 PM
