This thread, in a nutshell, is everything I have said in the few months prior to this thread being created. Stop copying me assholes. Yes, I do realise this thread was created before I posted here on this account, it still copied me.

Grunge = Punk.

I lot of Grunge is basically just hardcore punk with flannel shirts.

I've had so many arguments with people who like to say 'Nirvana aren't Punk, they are Grunge.' Grunge is to Punk what Grime is to Rap. Very different but also very similar. And Nirvana doesn't fit into the Grunge category. THEY ARE PUNK I TELL YA!

That is pretty stupid, considering emo, which is a distinc genre of music has been in existence for 20+ years.

right-track

Has it? Well someone forgot to tell me!

Q. Where will it be in 10 years time?
A. Nowhere.

Urban Hat€monger ?

It`ll be called 'classic rock' then and then when anyone tries to call it emo you`ll get 15 year old kids saying it`s not because 'it`s moved on from then'

haha, wow there's lots to respond to. I'm not even going to touch on the beatles comment because that's already been beaten to death, but i'll coment on a few others.

"Around 95% of Bob Dylan`s output is boring rubbish"

I can see why you wouldn't like the actual music, some people do find it boring, and I'll admit his voice isn't the best. But if you don't see that he is one of the greatest lyricists of all time, then I'll find it really hard to respect your opinion on anything related to music.

"Led Zeppelin are ok for a fun blues based c0ck rock band , but to suggest they`re one of the greatest bands ever is laughable."

That's a pretty bold statement, and with not a lot to back it up. Jimmy Page is arguably one of the BEST guitarists of all time, and if you don't agree, then you don't know much about music. Not only did he have amazing technical ability, he was unbelieveably innovative. The rest of the band are extremely talented. If you can't see that led zeppelin is an amazingly talented band, then you simply don't know music.

all your other points are either dead on, or i have no real problem with.

OK I shall respond to those , as far as Bob Dylan goes I think he`s written some incredible songs , I just happen to think they are few & far between for someone who`s been around for almost 50 years.

I still stick to what I think of Led Zep , Don`t get me wrong I like the band but for someone who had possibly the best drummer & guitarist ever & someone like John Paul Jones who was arguably the most talented in the band as far as musical arranging & the number of instruments he could play , I just think they could have made music that was a lot more groundbreaking & original than what they did.

yeah I can see where you're coming from with dylan, but in his defense he was REALLY hopped up on drugs for the majority of his career, so for him to even be able to sit upright let alone compose and perform music in his state is pretty impressive. As for led zeppelin, I don't think it's really fair to judge a band on how good they SHOULD have been, because that's all speculation, with not a lot to go on. They did come up with some very original stuff, but I'll agree, they were by no means one of the most influential bands in history, far from it. They were an amazing band, and I'd say on of the greatest bands ever, but they definitely weren't hugely influential. Personally, I'd say the Beatles were one of the most influential bands in history, and I know you're going to disagree with me there, but that's old news.
