Rock Album Survivor

Ish. But the self-titled is pure garage rock, whereas Fun House is far more comfortable in blues rock. And can you really think of an album in either category that warrants bumping one of them?

The ish is more on the blues rock side imo. I think that Funhouse has more of the rawness and chaos that I associate with garage rock than the s/t, really.

I just heard Fun House today, not bluesy enough to call it an blues album. If you want that album in so bad, don't we have a protopunk list?

Should we all just put two albums each in wild card or what? Not enough people are really paying much attention to it.

The Residents - Duck Stab! I guess. That category is kind of hard to define, especially after how deep into the sub genres we've gotten so far.

I'd definitely call it blues rock, as I've said ad nauseum, but is there really an album that warrants taking its place and removing their self-titled at the same time? Or is there just a blues rock album you like?

Oh god, please don't start another three page rant in this guys. It's bluesy enough so keep it in there. If you don't like that, put in Immortal Lee County Killers' debut because it'll win that battle undoubtably.

I'm fine with anything, but I really don't see Fun House being a blues album. I mean, I just heard it, and I noticed little to no blues at the beginning. And to be honest, you're the only one I know who describes the album as a blues album.

And I never said anything about replacing another Stooges album. Sure, it could happen depending on what happens, but we should at least find a blace that the album fits in more properly.

It could go in hard rock, protopunk, garage rock, even punk for all I care. I once started a best punk bands thread on another site, and Stooges was one of the top 2 choices, I believe. I disagree that they are punk, but being a protopunk band they are much closer to punk than blues. The "blues" I sense is really just some slow paced high-pitch guitars, which could be in anything.

I just checked the document to look for the blues list, apparently, Fleetwood Mac's debut is there while Fun House has been moved to garage rock.

Gotta side with Guy here. Never thought of it as blues rock.

So no blues, here, then?
