Silversun Pickups >>> Smashing Pumpkins
probably a rip-off thread tbh
An incredibly broad generalisation but
most 90s bands > most 60s bands
Magnolia Electric Co. > Neil Young
Interpol>Editors>Joy Division
It’s weird how indifferent I am about REM given one of my favourite bands are Idlewild whose best stuff is heavily influenced by them (if we’re being generous)
Also prefer most of the post-punk stuff that rips off The Fall to the band themselves.
Every band that gets labeled as a Sonic Youth rip off >>>>>> Sonic Youth
Thinking of Trail of the Dead and Deaf Wish in particular right now
Bands that cite the Smiths as an
inspiration >>>>>>>>>>>>> the Smiths
Good that this has immediately become a “say bands you don’t like” thread
Big into Four Tet, can never get all that hyped about Aphex Twin
Prefer bands like Wooden Shjips over Spacemen 3
are they similar?
So I’m told
Oasis > The Beatles
Also, reminder that Interpol don’t sound like Joy Division.
Absolutely nothing like them. They’re a Television rip off, but the singer’s trying to do a Curtis impression (except all the lyrics are basically ooh I have a willy)
Parquet Courts > Modern Lovers
War on drugs > dire straits, Tom Petty etc
Came here to do the Silversun pickups one and it’s covered in the OP.
The Rapture/Early-Liars >>> Gang Of Four
I’d add utterly, utterly brilliant (IMO) great lost UK band AC Temple to this list of > Sonic Youth.
