You don't have a clue what you are talking about. Now you have clumsily back tracked across your own words. Pathetic. Care to try and justify your ignorance anymore?


Sure my hypocritically acclaimed buffoon. Just as soon as you do. None have been flung at me, right? You are are a JOKE.

right-track

Tone it down please.

Now you're just trying to piss me off. I have no intention to start a flame war. I have expressed a valid argument (supported by real sources), and you haven't objectively refuted it yet. If you want to start a pissy skirmish, I suggest you seek a berth elsewhere.

What have you proposed exactly? You have attempted to correct me and made an ass out of yourself. You contend that The Velvet Underground were Art Rock? That's NOT TRUE. Period. Look up the accepted definition instead of finding it necessary to paraphrase some off the beaten path eccentric scholar to make your point. Art Rock is SOLELY a term that pertains to certain Progressive Rock acts from the 70s. The notion that it refers to some avant or experimental pop bent is nonsense. More pseudo intellectual pushing on behalf of the corporate machine to get their mods in the loop so to speak. That's when the phrase was coined by the press and those are the bands it referred to. Which The Velvet Underground were in no way a part of despite your best attempts to make them seem as though they were.

Now Art Pop as I see it is all about the pseudo intellectual college campus clique bands like Radiohead, Ween, Guided By Voices, Stereo Lab, Cornelius, Tricky, et infinitum as opposed to the their 70s counter parts like Glam Pop artists Bowie & Roxy.

Just more pseudo intellectual pretend sophisticated pop (albeit many a great tune from some of these, not RADIOHEAD however) with a few new decorative twists. More the "in crowd" thing as it's constantly rehashed. Anything but progressive sir. Anything but.

Ween? Pseudo-intellectual? We are talking about the same Ween that gave us "Boobs," "Pass the Bong" and "Booze Me Up And Get Me High" right?

I am not accusing them of being personally or lyrically pseudo intellectual, I am claiming that those that tend to make them popular tend to use pseudo intellectual logic to justify there perceived greatness. Same with radiohead.

That band (2 brothers?) is about as ridiculous as ridiculous can be. Holy bedroom DIY nonsense. There is just no intelligent justification for that kind of bull**** becoming popular yet people constantly claim they are the greatest. What do these types of musical appreciators do, get high for a living? You would HAVE to be stoned to appreciate that ****. It's a lame comedy of errors.

Radiohead on the other hand, and I will be doing my best this evening to convince myself differently, just strikes me as boring and limp.

You hate Ween? Do you hate fun too?

LOL! no. I wouldn't honestly say I "hate" them anymore than listening to DR. Demento. They just have no place next to Beck, the Boredoms or Cornelius.

They sure as he11 ain't no FZ!

I guess you deserve your stabz like everyone else, right?

Double X

What the ****. The whole point of rock and roll is supposed to be because they broke away from all the perfect classical music. What's wrong about making a joke out of music and having a blast with it?

People claim they are geniuses because they actually write great melodies lyrics, play off almost every genre, and they don't really put real emotion as a focus but they do it as a study to try every genre.

your not very good at making friends huh?
