Wow. That covers an awful lot of music. Mind me asking what indie bands you've listened to?

wut

YouTube - Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick - Madison Square Garden 1978
that's just 9 minutes of their 40+ minute Thick As A Brick

but yeah

-i still like JT better than the other bands i listed(there, i just said i liked them more. happy, you sons of bitches?)
-Reverend Horton Heat needs to be talked about more in the music world
-people who think rappers have no talent should enter a freestyle battle
-i like Phish's studio work more than their long, drawn out jams

I'll do another Queens of the Stone Age one and say their top three best albums are Era Vulgaris>S/T>Lullabies To Paralyze.

Isn't Anything>Loveless
Neutral Milk Hotel are terrible
Suede=best Britpop band
Tindersticks=best British band of the 1990's
Hot Shots II by The Beta Band=album of 2001
Combat Rock is possibly the best Clash album

Here's all the indie I've listened to thus far: Animal Collective, Radiohead, R.E.M., Iron and Wine, Modest Mouse, Blur, The Mars Volta, Elliott Smith, Slint, The Flaming Lips, Mew, Arcade Fire, The Magnetic Fields, Beck, Neutral Milk Hotel, Of Montreal, Sufjan Stevens, The Vines, The White Stripes, The New Pornographers, Wilco, Wolfmother, The Killers, Kings of Leon, Deerhoof, Dinosaur Jr., Coldplay, Interpol, Nine Inch Nails, Pixies, Built to Spill, Spoon, Pavement, The Smiths, Sigur Ros, Manic Street Preachers, Ben Fold Five, Fugazi, Godspeed! You Black Emperor, Phoenix, Sonic Youth, Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, Joy Division, and Jimmy Eat World.

Most of these bands are but overrated imo.
Also alot of classic rock is overrated too.

FF6 and 8s soundtrack owns FF7s soundtrack.

8 is as good as if not better than 7 imo... never completed 6 =P

i almost agree with you about Tom Lehrer, but he is more in the realm of musical satire, that Gilbert & Sullivan tradition, different ballpark to all the great jazz and blues and doo wop and rock'n'roll etc that was happening

i cant be bothered to go through the rest, should keep the thread abuzz for a while though

Never completed 6! 6 was the best, soundtrack-wise and games-wise.

I'm kind of surprised you think the pixies are overrated but you've definately listened to enough to form a valid opinion.

Kind of funny though b/c I think most R&B is overrated, though i admittingly haven't given it much of a chance in the last few years. Anything good you can suggest that might change my mind?
