@Maggles I love those Crossley players. Sound sucks. ... But they're fun to have - for almost any kind of music. ... What is that album in the corner with the weird art?

@Dracula ... I don't. It looks like a Brian Eno album cover - and if it is, I probably own the album, but not the artwork. Fuck, it looks really familiar though. Help?

@Maggles @Dracula Oooohhh... yeah. No, I don't listen to that. The missus went to a Strokes concert a few years back - I'm not much interested in it. @Dracula Well... if that's what it takes to hang out - maybe we shouldn't. If you are ever interested in good music, let me know. But... tell you what... if I ever want to listen to some cacophonous garbage you call music, I'll dial you. ... I should probably stop there, as I don't want to incite ny arguments.

... wait... wait... puts Strokes CD back next to Wreckless Eric, the Clash, and Pulp. (literally)...

It's always hard to tell what an album cover looks like when you have a burned copy. This is the section of my library I never listen to. ... I take that back, while I haven't lately, I traditionally go through a Pulp phase about once a year or so.

If you don't like Pulp - you can fuck yourself.

@Dracula *note : Acquired CD for that song only. Listened to album and thought.... I feel the same about this as I do the Decemberists. ... except I don't remember liking any song by the Decemberists.

Artists that make me roll my eyes and go *yeck "Gimme a break people.": Decemberists, Strokes (to be fair - I have only attempted listening to the album... oh,... probably two or three times), Sex Pistols, Ramones (please, whose fucking lame idea was it to like the Ramones anyway?), Killers, Kings of Leon, uh... Interpol is *meh, Vampire Weekend is... campy - not that I'm against them... but I kind of feel they are in a more... Pop genre, who else.... ugh... The Hives... Weezer (while a few of their more Pop songs were actually good, catchy tracks, everything else is like listening to a garage band - spare me. Who else... um... I'm not huge on Modest Mouse - and Franz Ferdinand is OK... but most of the previous - all very terrible bands. All sound like they are bred from the same blue waffle. There's a lot of other names who I haven't heard well enough to say, identify them at first listen - but you can bet your ass they're just as terrible. Better names to come from this genre: White Stripes (for some, to be fair), Phoenix (FTW), - well, I'd say Phoenix goes off to a different realm that I'd categorize bands far removed from the first group.... more electronic based stuff like Alan Braxe, Erlend Oye, Royksopp, - well, the whole Norwegian movement can come from the electronic side of Phoenix.... but I digress. There are other bands you must wear skin tight jeans to listen to as well that are actually decent as an almost pop band: Arcade Fire, VHS or Beta, Bloc Party... You want to know who's good that you may have never heard is Fiction Plane, led by Joe Sumner (Sting's son). It's like listening to more modern, less white reggae, more rock based Police music. Kind of. ... and not really at the same time. Really good stuff though. Joe Sumner is ... terribly artistically wasting himself - seemingly constantly running from his Dad's shadow and trying to make a name for himself. ... it's unfortunate - hopefully he can mature and actually make some deep music.

... WTF? Where I have I led myself....???

@buckminster83 Wait... I don't understand why The Strokes make you roll your eyes, is it because they opened the doors for many other bands? Did you dislike the alternative culture that arose from Is This It?

I really don't like Bloc Party or Phoenix, but what evs.

@Maggles @Dracula You want to hear what I'm listening to right now?

I am a proponent of Field Recording. Typically that would be used with music or as part of a piece - but alone it's already amazing. Such an interesting voice - such a mundane topic - but carried out almost like a bedtime story. Awesome recording right there. It actually is being used with a piece of music, which will be released on my record label next year some time.

@buckminster83 The only bands you can group with the strokes that you named are The Hives, Kings of Leon, Vampire Weekend (and not because of the music itself, but because of the similar hype/background), Ramones, and The White Stripes. No idea how you got all the other bands ESPECIALLY MODEST MOUSE, they're music is great but in now way similar to The Strokes. COMPLETELY different styles of music.

@Maggles Oh I don't disagree... but those are all on my shelf next to each other. Most of them - some of them I just imagined - like Kings of Leon. Terrible Terrible WAY overrated music. I made the mistake of purchasing one of their albums. I have since tossed it. That said, most of those bands are all the same to me = garbage. A bunch of noise people call music. I'm sorry - there hasn't been a Top 40 album (or Alternative Top 40 - which these bands would be in) that was any good in a LONG time.

@buckminster83 You have to be aware of what Is This It accomplished, even if you find Last Nite to be their only tolerable track. Yes they did open doors for other bands, The White Stripes already had albums out before The Strokes released Is This It but didn't get any success until radio/tv started to play more rock. So Seven nation army hit it big. Arctic Monkeys were obvious fanboys of The Strokes, and Alex Turner has admitted The Strokes being a huge part of their Succes. EVEN Pheonix, who you claim is part of the strokes genre have expressed their love for Julians work in The Strokes. Kings Of Leon were nothing until The Strokes took them on tour, even then reviewers would only recognize them as "The Southern Strokes"

You may not like them but you have to acknowledge what they did.

It seems you group all these bands because of the "indie" subculture that grouped them together, but a lot of these bands don't sound like each other, they just had similar images. It was also the only rock that was played in mainstream radio/tv. There was a lot of other music being made at that time that did actually sound like the strokes, but the "market" only wanted the image.

@buckminster83 Well your music taste is obviously somewhere else. Maybe your just not as angtsy as most people. I enjoy raunchy music, but I can also appreciate other music that would never make a top list. My ears appreciate all that is passion, whether its just 3 chords or elaborate compositions.
