Bands? Last i checked, Fear Factory, Machine Head, Emperor and Stuck Mojo
were 97 bands.... But this is a reminiscing page boy, to a time when the
music that got airplay didn't suck..

Uh...yeah, they do. Plenty of it. I guess if you're listening
only to techno stations, then you're right, they don't get airplay...
>Thank God it goes to good bands like
>Prodigy, Moby, and NIN.
I'll give you Moby and NIN...I don't care for either all that much,
but I'll give you those two anyway, because I recognize talent for
whatever it may be. But Prodigy??? That is the most PATHETIC excuse
for a music group I have ever seen. Or heard. I'll take the Chemical
Brothers over them any day. Of course, that's 'cause I LIKE the
Chemical Brothers...

No, it was more a matter of them being more original, not more
talented. That band Space sound original, but they're hardly
talented if you listen to what they're playing.
Maybe you'd appreciate it more if you were able to separate La Bouche
from Squarepusher. Dance music and techno are like oranges and beef.
A lot of the techno artists these days are doing stuff that is ten times
more mindfucking and frightening than NIN, which may or may not
be a turn-on.

Prodigy, Moby, and NIN are not music or good bands. Especially Prodigy
anyone can do all that computer digital sound shit. But Kurt Cobain, Eddie
Vedder, and everyone else who created grunge have true talent, especially
Pearl Jam. Just e-mail me as soon as Prodigy does an album with a legend
like Neil Young, or one the best Unplugged sets ever like Nirvana. People
were devastated when Kurt died and when Soundgarden broke up, I doubt they
will be for Prodigy of Moby.
The stations only play them because they are new, that's the only reason,
as soon as Pearl Jam or Alice in Chains put out new stuff techno will be
put away again. Face it good rock music will always come through and
always live, techno won't.

Yes they do, try turning the little tiny knob on your radio until you
hear a radio station that plays different music, your bound to come
across something.

Nin is acceptable.
Moby is average.
Prodigy should pick a trend(punk or techno) and stop prtending their on
drugs.
-steve
"Its ok as long as THEY like it!"
This is true, but a lot of times the artist releasing the tracks isn't the same
person who put together the drum loops. Some of them do lift tracks
from old big band lp's, and then speed them up and manipulate them,
etc. Also, I know a lot of the more underground drum&bass artists
actually use those CDs with 1,000s of .wav samples, cause I've
heard some of them and I know I've heard them used before.
But you did have a good point- electronic music is not inherently easy
to make simply because you're computer literate.

I never said they weren't allowed to express their feelings the way they
wanted to. I was just surprised when the words "good music" were used to
describe NIN and Prodigy. I'm all for freedom of expression I'm just sick
of having to change the radio station everytime some no talent hag comes
on.
I'm all for freedom of expression, it would just be nice if they used some
effort in the music that they play.

Why the hell would any respectable musician want to get on MTV??? To share
airplay with the likes of hanson?? Its easy for a musician to get popular
and sell millions of records when theyre on MTv, exposed to all the trendy
13 year olds and general idiots that compose the USA public, but a good
band with talent can get around with just word-of-mouth and good tourin...

Okay, so you like techno. fine. but FUCK YOU! Nirvana is gone, but we
can remember one of the greatest bands ever by listening to them and
talking about them. Soundgarden just recently split, and until then
they were doing enormously well. Pearl Jam refuses to do videos
because they don't want to alter a fan's vision of a song. I respect
that. I'd rather watch nothing then some bald freak jumping around
with alligators yeliing indecipherable crap. NIN are a band as old as
Nirvana. Reznor endured, but has only put out two albums in almost ten
years, unless of course, you're conned into buying that remix shit.
Reznor gets a lot less airplay than a lot of other half-decent bands.
He's waisting all his time on his freak protege, someone I think is
the bigggest musical farce since god knows when. I can't judge Moby,
since I've only heard one song, It SUCKED! You're an idiot. If you
want current trendy shit, listen to the spice girls and 311, those of
us that prefer timeless music will continue listening to decent bands.
By the way, if you don't like Nirvana, GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE NIRVANA

I saw Moby at Reading in 1996, and it was the funniest thing I'd ever
seen. All these techno kids standing in sweltering heat waiting for
the techno god to arrive, when suddenly up popped a little bloke with
a guitar. Moby then proceded to play cool Hardcore punk stuff.. I was
in awe, and the dumb techno kids, well they just didn't get it!! Total
blast!!
>techno sucks shit!
Thatt it does
MK
A) K-rock ceased to be a cool station Jan. 5th, 1996.
B) Howard Stern is the only reason anyone listens to K-rock.
C) K-rock plays A LOT more techno than Z-100 does. Heck, Z-100 didn't play any
techno at all last time I looked (Le Click is normal dance music, not techno),
while K-shit plays the friggin' Prodigy and Chemical Bros. all the time!
D) If there are so many grunge fans, why doesn't anyone buy grunge albums
anymore? Grunge isn't exactly tearing up the Billboard charts right now.
For the record, it doesn't seem to me like techno is replacing grunge. Heck,
techno ain't replacing shit, because aside from "Block Rockin Beats" and those
satanic circus clowns known as the Prodigy, techno/electronica/whatever has
been nothing but one giant over-hyped, over-glorified flop so far. What IS
replacing grunge is A) VH-1 alternative like Alanis (unfortunately), the Wall
Flowers, and Matchbox 20, and B) ska-punk (or whatever the official moniker of
that stuff is) like the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Reel Big Fish.

The only new "grunge" albums are cheap rip-offs. The only good
"grunge" (so-called) has been bought already. Soundgarden, Nirvana,
Alice In Chains...as well as less popular bands like Tad, Mudhoney,
etc...

What does Kurt Cobain have to do with it? He was attending grunge
shows as a teen before he was ever in any bands. Some argue whether
or not Nirvana was even grunge at all...

I agree but, whatever 'grunge' is, I think you can say that there are
Nirvana songs that are.... 'grunge'. Anyway, my impression is if you
are looking for 'Nirvana-like' bands or 'grunge' bands, you have to go
underground which means going to the same small clubs that those
same kinds of bands performed at. Bands like the Melvins and
Mudhoney are probably around but are at the small clubs and not
getting recognition - the same media hounds aren't covering them.
The record labels haven't picked them out? Anyway, those are
just some suggestions - food for thought.

Even though the critic's words could pass for a rap lyric, I tend to
agree. There are *some* exceptions, though.

It was Houdini. And in my other post in this thread, in response

doesn't." Just wanted to mention that. =)

Actually Kurt never picked up a guitar until he had begun experimenting
with the Dreamachine, which ultimately caused him to commit suicide. The
guy that sold him his Dreamachine now lives in Tierra del Fuego (see
