Struck off my friends list Still making good music 30 years after their debut.
Why do I have to listen to it a certain number of times to meet your criteria? Around 4 times which means that I won't dig an album at all. 'Growers' kick in after the second or third listen. I am seldom fickle when it comes to what I like and don't like.

Slint's music excites me a lot more than Talk Talk's though. Talk Talk are a very good band who tried a lot of new and interesting things, and their music is excellent... but for me, their music lacks the personality that Slint's music has. It's unfair to compare these bands though as they were going for totally different things and have nothing in common except for being progenitors of post-rock. And I've talked enough about how Spiderland is definitely one of the best rock albums ever, no more about it from me! |

Post Rock is a crap genre tag anyhow TBH. 80% of bands make what I would call Ambient Rock which is fine in a movie or a few tracks but bores the crap out of you after 3 songs. That's why I like bands that seek to stretch out from conventional barriers and try to do something different which was what post rock was supposed to be about. BTW I didn't say I didn't like Spiderland, merely the fact that i think it's overated and I have heard better. Tis all opinion. The same as the last post mentioned Durutti Column. I really like them and apart from a jest in reply I will carry on liking them.

I like Spiderland more than I used to but I still think Tortoise were better.
