lol good argument JonWellington. I cannot respond to this.

"yea its a matter of being transformative vs sounding recycled"

true, and pastiche of multiple artists is transformative. + almost nothing is 100% pastiche.

Getting into pesky things like true artistic innovation and who-influenced-whom is a slippery slope

I rate everything a 5 just to be safe

>Getting into pesky things like true artistic innovation and who-influenced-whom is a slippery slope


yea

the sex pistols were very influential but they were also very mediocre apart from one or two songs for example

i think being influenced by great bands is a good thing

and also that sounding interminably stale is a bad one

gonna rejam schlagenheim now, lemme take that weight off your shoulders Sow

Nah sex pistols were amazing :]

All this new shit sucks go back and listen to The Pop Group - Y. This kind of music is hindered so greatly by this “sheek” production bent. Vocals sound rehearsed in the worst way.

sheek yerbouti

post that on rym

did Talking Heads, This Heat, Slint and Mission of Burma really exhaust all possible sounds to extinction so brexit-punk revivalists have no choice BUT to regurgitate all of it 40 years later? hot fucking dog

again mission of burma doesn't have enough rip offs ghandhi join a band with me

they could have made it not sound like they had nothing better to do
which thurston moore solo albums are best?

huh loads of bands ripped off mission of burma. R.E.M and Sonic Youth for a start

r.e.m. and sonic youth are a good example of two bands who ripped to fuck but still sounded og checkmate lion
