My first favourite band was...P.O.D. I'm glad I only occasionally like things nostalgically.

Even I can't claim that. Seriously, Chris?

I think most people are that way. The first band they like is a **** type mainstream act. Later they realize that they suck.

I blame my parents for letting such atrocities to happen.

I blame you.

I never even really heard a full jazz song until I was 14. That is abhorrent.

Still blame you.

Batlord actually nailed the review. Geek usa really is the best song on the album. I can't believe none of you queers mentioned GISH which is clearly their best album. **** all of you all, Sincerely Billy Corgan's boyfriend.

I listened to a bit of Gish, and if it's their best, it's only because the rest of the band doesn't drown out the drummer, who is clearly the most badass member of the band. Billy Corgan's guitar is a distraction from the pummeling of their drummer, and the production of Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie pretends otherwise.

But the songs themselves are just as dull.

At the time? Really cool and unique stuff.

In hindsight? Didn't hold up well at all. Same could be said for 95% of 90s rock.

Shoegaze.

The fact that you even thought to bring up that wannabe genre makes everything you post from now on basically ridiculous and unworthy of serious consideration.

I can't believe this, but i agree with chula.

So you were ignorant of the genre, nailed it.

That's as ignorant as saying prog isn't real.

Stick to what you know

But Shoegaze is as much of a genre as rock and pop. I don't understand what you're saying here.

shoegaze is ****ing real

Yeah. I think it's the worst genre ever.

well then you don't know what you're talking about.

R&B is my least favorite. I can only take too many soulfully whiny black male singers over boring beats and synths.

it's right there https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoegazing

I could agree. But i find the soft tone of shoegaze to be annoying.

Old or new? Because old R&B from the 70s is the best thing since slice bread.

Include the 50's & 60's in that mix and now you're on it! :cool:

Shoegaze = Stupidest genre name ever. Music sucks too.

R+B = Awesome!!!!!!

^ Old man syndrome

Will the shocking revelations ever stop?

Also: huge part of Smashing Pumpkins' sound.

Never thought of the Smashing Pumpkins as Shoegaze, more like College/Alternative Rock with a bit of ~Grunge/Desert/Stoner Rock riffs thrown in. Wikipedia goes crazy with the genres that SP covers.

Can't go with stoner rock at all.

There's nothing stoner about them.

The riffs. Listen to Siva, and think of Debbie Google's bass, Chad Sexton's drums and Stoner Rock guitar riffs. (if I wasn't on my tablet I would post the YT vid)

I know that song. To me it's a stretch but I guess it depends on how you define the genre. I think it gives SP too much credit for being successfully eclectic. I even think shoegaze is being generous to their abilities. I see them as a straight forward rock band.

jimmy page is a ****ty guitarist

A genre of music named after guitarists that stand zombie like on stage and stare down at their Boss pedals?

Seriously?


*cough*

Yup.

Writing off a genre because of its name is as retarded as, well, you. Especially when you like music that has a heavy shoegaze element....

honestly that sounds lovely, what do you not like about that

Did you just ignore my post or...

Because if you read it, you'd realize that you are praising a band that has some strong elements in the genre that you claim doesn't exist. Talk about being a hypocrite.
