Haha, you're off the hook this time then. As for the opinions,
I was just guessing, its usually the most common thing to cause conflicts on here isnt it?

You're right man, but unfortunately it does for some uneducated individuals.

That's YOUR opinion of course, just like what I said about these bands, is mine. I'm sorry, musical impact or not, I dont "get it". I freely admit, they are quite wonderful, and Im sure some are worthy of being called great musicians/songwriters/etc, but IMHO, I just don't get why folks flip out over so many of these guys?

I Guess many here could argue about how much I love Morrissey/The Smiths? I'm sure many would feel the same way about them, as I do about the bands I listed?

Doesn't mean "I dont know what Im talking about", just an opinion, that is different from yours.

DJ, no one takes you seriously because you seemingly loathe almost all modern music and most of the time without even bothering to listen to it. That weakens the credibility of your opinion.

Almost ALL "modern music" w/the exception of a few artists/bands is ****e.....there you go. I couldn't care less if people take me "seriously" or not. They don't "take me serious" b/c my opinion differs from theirs?

I think I will just point out that: What you have stated is positively ludicrous. What a silly man you must be.

I used to think that way-I didn't like anything released after the 70's...then I realized how absurd it is to believe in the course of human history there was only 20 years of good music, and that for some reason all great albums and songs stopped being created at a certain point for no reason.

There was just as much **** back in the 70's as there is now. The only difference is there was no Clear Channel and MTV to show it to you.

Are they even grunge though? I think someone told me about them before and said they were really good. Or maybe it was you 2 mins ago when i read your post - Im just off the nightshift & cant think straight....

I wouldn't really call them grunge but they do have a similar sound to Pearl Jam and Screaming Trees. You should check out their album Gentlemen, it's a really emotionally-intense, cinematic rock album. And Greg Dulli has one hell of a voice.
