The Explain Why You Like This Album ('cause i don't understand) Thread (albums, pink floyd)

[Black People Are Cool]

I ****ing adore both of these albums, but if you asked me why I wouldn't have an answer...

[JJJ567]

AC/DC- Back in Black
Mindless **** rock with a lead singer that sounds worse than the old one.

Rush- 2112
I found it cheesy, but not in a good way.

Fleetwood Mac- Rumours
I found it on vinyl at a Goodwill. It's okay, but I fail to see what the hype was about.

Ramones- Self-titled
They are catchy, but after a while their songs tend to run together.

Sex Pistols- Nevermind the Bullocks
A lot of hype with little substance.

I'm with you on this one. I don't see how people consider this a classic or even find them meaningful to music history. Saw them live last year and it was just horrible. Rotten is nothing but a clown who's not even remotely funny (clowns are scary anyway).

eh, with the Sex Pistols, it was less about the music and more about the image of the band as punks, which honestly had an effect on the youth of that day and even youth of today.


so yeah, the cd is REALLY overhyped, but it's not that a bad album. honestly, it's got some good stuff there if you ask me.

I know what you're saying. Music wise I think there are other (punk) bands who had a larger impact in that time like The Clash and The Ramones. Malcolm McLaren thought out The Sex Pistols like a 90s boy band. They did have a huge big impact image wise.

yeah the way i see it

The Sex Pistols = the image
The Ramones = that "punk" sound
The Clash = the message in the music

Those are all attributes that were important for the Sex Pistols of you ask me. The image is obvious, while the Pistols were the first abrasive punk band to still be accessible and widely accepted so i'd argue they had the 'punk' sound down more than the Ramones did. As for a message, what better than 'fuck that, listen to this'. Some of it was obviously tongue in cheek but songs like Bodies showed they were more than just the manufactured band that they get ridiculed for being.

Personally I think most punk that followed later on actually sounds closer to The Damned than any of those 3 bands.
