Jim O' Rourke, natch.

Since when was Nick Cave a solo artist?!

Urban Hat€monger ? 01-24-2005 07:21 PM
Last I checked it was Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds , Not Nick Cave fronting a band called The Bad Seeds.

Bruce Springsteen had the E Street Band , Cliff Richard had the Shadows , John Lennon had the Plastic Ono Band , Buddy Holly had the Crickets , Joe Strummer had the Mescaleros.Elvis Costello had the Attractions , Prince had the NPG.

Does that mean they are not solo artists too?

If you like. What's in a name? Old Nick and the Bad Seeds write their songs as a band.

PS. I'm talking bollocks but the line gets blurred dunnit?

The Supremes >> Diana Ross & the Supremes >> Diana Ross

Heh. Egoes realigning themselves.

I just think if you are going to make a thread like this at least leave out the more well known people for once & actually have someone who has recorded albums for independent labels.
:whythis:

This argument is dumb, but yeah i'd say bob dylan is alt. I mean, he was original, no one had his sound, today too many people aren't jacking it so, I'd give him alt status.

Ill say Tom Waits. He lords over the indie world like grizzled old grandfather who can still kick all his kids asses.

i see alternative as anything that cannot be typecast in the conventional genre brackets, regardless of success

I was under the impression 'alternative' meant alternative to the mainstream.

Anyway I don`t know why I`m argueing I think it`s one of the dumbest terms ever.
