You're right, Ethans wrong.

Lock thread.

and your precious Pitchfork magazine has Siamese Dream highers than Odelay among 90's albums

but of course this is where the convenient
magazine lists mean nothing comes into it

Hardly relevant since you don't know my opinions on those is it?

You're the one who compared them not me so don't complain that Siamese Dream is being placed next to Odelay.

In comparison to someone doing something completely singular and innovative yeah they're inferior.

So? They're still not doing something original and when you place them next to someone doing something original guess who's generally going to be seen as more important? The artist doing something original.

Will you shut the fuck up if you're not going to contribute something?

I don't even like pitchfork's reviews in fact I've criticized them several times as being ridiculous and a completely elitist joke. Stop making completely irrelevant and unfounded comments please, it doesn't do anything for your argument.

And what are you contributing? Right now you're trolling your own thread.

I wans't comparing as such I was placing Siamese Dream in amongst a few random memorable and brillaint albums of the 90's



I never said either were inferior
but you were insinuating in your posts that somehow Smashing Pumpkins should be penalised for being less original and innovative than Beck (I'm not saying that's what you strictly meant but that's how it came across)
now would you care to respond to the rest of my post instead of dodging the more difficult opinions I made




Never did I make this thread about who was more important
I stated the Smashign Pumpkins' Siamese Dream album should be regarded as just as important as other great albums released in the 90's

You seem to have a very warped concept of what trolling is. If I was trolling my own thread my post would just consist of "LOLS SMASHING PUMPKIN SCUKCS111" and not provided any argument whatsoever. Which I'm doing and you're not.

How is it just as important? Maybe you should explain this before you make such claims because I don't see it as anything more than your typical 90s alternative guitar rock album and I hardly think it deserves to be placed next to Odelay or Loveless. Slanted & Enchanted, Ten, Nevermind (ignoring the impact factor), and the Blue Album sure because those are championed as classics but not necessarily innovative or groundbreaking ones.

Actually no it dosen't, if the music is not good it dosen't matter if you're original or not. Siamese Dream is a damn good album, I don't even see whats so unoriginal about it.

I'm sorry Fall of Troy are not more importing than Smashing Pumpkins. :laughing:

Add to that, Fall of Troy are just mixing hardcore with prog, its a novel concept, but I don't see how that makes them so damn original.

Add to that originality has NOTHING to do with importance, unless you're seriously gonna tell me The Residents are more important than The Rolling Stones.

You made a poll where one of the options was Smashing Pumpkins, then you insulted people who voted for them, leading to this retarded argument.

sorry, but this is not true.

the Taj Mahal Travellers (japanese band) were very original, unlike anything else really

Nirvana were not particularly original.

by your logic the Taj Mahal Travellers are more important than Nirvana...obviously not the case.

I don't see how its much different than all the 90s alternative guitar rock, British Pharaoh seems to have no problem with me saying its unoriginal in fact you agreed with him when he said they should be praised for doing the same thing as their contemporaries and standing out while doing it. Weird how you're saying something different now.

I never said they were, just more original.

Who else sounds like the Fall of Troy?

Yeah but we're not comparing a fairly unknown act to a popular one. We're talking Beck and The Smashing Pumpkins.

I repeat: "Yeah but we're not comparing a fairly unknown act to a popular one. We're talking Beck and The Smashing Pumpkins."

Also, Yes are more original than Modest Mouse (who are just ripping off Built to Spill).

And ELP is more original than Animal Collective (who are just copying early 90s Flaming Lips)
