Jackhammers rant against conformity

jackhammer · 05-29-2009, 08:33 PM

The Radiohead thread still gets hit like no tomorrow.

Everyone claims to love Reggae because they own one Bob Marley record.

The more obscure prog album that you find means that you are cooler than everyone else.

A thread that promotes negativity will outshine a well intentioned thread regarding an unknown band 5:1.

Members have a hard time admitting that they like average music. It is where we all started probably.

Not me, I'll defend my Kiss & Tigertailz albums to the hilt.

Or till I get bored.

more of a list than a rant, eh?

Right on, Jackhamma, but then you also run into not conforming to conform with those who don't conform, so what then? Make up new words to define your rebel status?

I know but there are very few of us

There are very few that have the balls to admit to what they like on here

A rebel does not listen to saxon. He hides that as deep as he can!

I'd actually say the more obscure a prog. album is the more awesome it is, but yeah.

But yeah, one Bob Marley record doesn't make you a reggae authoritarian figure.

I will defend bands like Cake and Barenaked Ladies til my last breath. I do agree with you on the reggae part though. I, sadly, know a lot of people who have that mentality. I own a few Ziggy Marley albums and a few other artists, but I wouldn't consider myself a regular reggae listener.
