I think everyone was too scared to submit Kurt Cobain...

I like Nirvana and if anyone has a problem, too bad. I don't see why all of us Pumpkin fans can't like Corgan and Cobain both. They both are/were amazing songwriters, guitar players, and performers. So , to any silly nay sayers out there! (Although I have been debating making this submission for a few days ), he deserves to be on the list.

Some say he/Nirvana is overated. And Kinda don't like associating with them.

"92% of teenagers have moved on to rap." Who cares?

I do agree he is a little overated and I like Pumpkins more. He still produced some great material though. And I am well aware most teens just listen rap. Thats all my little brother listens to- ick. So close in age, but such different tastes.

I'm getting into hip-hop now, because I'm into so much rock, that I want to expand my tastes even further...

Hmmm.... expand your tasts by listening to Mendelssohn, Hayden, or Lizt, not hip-hop. If you want something more than rock don't sink to that level.

P.S. electronica is pretty kick-ass too.

I listen to classical, too. I prefer Russian composers though. I pretty much listen to whatever, as long as it isn't rap or cheesy pop music.

or country *shutters in horror at the thought*

blue grass can be good, but that cruddy pop country that they play so much now is just an amalgam of crap. They took pop added distorted guitars and gave it a glassy twang… cheep thrills.
You’re a fan of Tchichovsky I assume?

MUSIC

IS

LOVE.



No, forget S***-hop, I mean HIP-HOP.

It can be frikkin' funky, if you put the effort into looking for the good stuff.

A lot of rapper's lyrics are frikkin' genious!

S***-Hop is any crap mainstrea stuff, just like crap mainstrem rock we got blaring out of our radios now.

Sorry to double post... but if I edited you probably would notice this post.

That "92% of teenagers..." thing is basically some slogan thing that gazillions of people have copied and pasted on their Bebo pages, except instead of saying "who cares?" afterwards it says "Put this on your profile if you're part of the 8% who stayed with real music"

I really get in a mood to stab someone when I see that kind of sheep-like opinion thrown about. It really is sheepish.

I gotta get me some classical.

Mum and dad don't have any though.m

If you think Nirvana is over-rated, you're not seeing the whole picture.

I know that I'm going to get flamed for what I'm about to say here....but here goes.

SP would not be what it is today without Nirvana.

Nirvana changed the entire music industry and allowed every alternative rock band that emerged after them to happen. Every single one of those band would have remained an un-discovered underground entity if it weren't for Nirvana. The music biz was going the way of Whitney Houston and hair metal before Nirvana, and they single-handedly destroyed that "model" and changed the direction of rock music. They paved the way for the smashing pumpkins and the soundgardens and the pearl jams of the world to be discovered by the masses.

I'm not saying that Nirvana is what allowed SP to be extremely talented and a great band, but without them, SP may have succumbed to the frustrations of nobody finding out about them and therefore not making any money off of what they were doing and just faded away without ever having a hit.

There really needs to be a new band to come along and do that again.

Win Butler of the Arcade Fire. This man could brood moodily at a circus.


Peter Murphy of Bauhaus. My second-favorite vocalist on the planet. This band, despite all appearances, will probably never die.


Kayne West. This man's immense ego, unlike most members of the hip-hop community, is supported by actual talent.

We cant forget this lovely lady.



She's just incredible. After being part of 2 amazingly influential bands, shes now in her 3rd decade of performing and has just released an awesome solo album thats just as bold as anything else these days. Call her the queen of punk or goth or whatever, but you cant deny she's a very important personality in music!

ummm... i dont know who that is shame? lol, susie sue?

nearly missed a nirvana/pumpkins five page detour there!

i really like kanye west, he is worth his ego in talent. that reminded me of DAFT PUNK



these guys made it cool for rockers to like dance music. or whatever its called, . everyone i know has listened to homework though they kind of went out of mainstream album wise, you still hear their singles though, i would love to take a bunch of drugs and go see them live, lol, that huge light show looks amazing



and to whoever asked why claudio doesnt jump anymore; he got fatter and he cant really jump eight feet going backwards like he used to, or sing the same for that matter. he used up his strong attack voice all up on second stage, but its still very good (vocals on no world for tomorrow's breakdown)

Haha. Yeah, sorry i forgot to mention her name, but yes it is Siouxsie (of siouxsie and the banshees fame).

Sorry. But I hate Kanye West with a passion. Obviously I don't enjoy his music, but his arrogance and huge ego makes him absolutely lame to me. I can't stand him.
