The Official Needles and Grooves 1001 Album Generator Project (aka Preachin’ about the Preachers if today’s selection sucks)

My band in high school used to cover Ballad of a Useless Man because we were punk and the title sounded great

 

[Nee Lewman]

I’ve always liked their music but their shtick was a bit much. The book calls them pop-punk which is… interesting.

They have often been lumped in with some of the other proto-punk bands like the Seeds, though I would definitely put them firmly on the pop side of pop-punk

I can see Porto-punk … just pop-punk seemed a little revisionist to me. They seem pretty firmly pop-psychedelia to me but what do I know? I mean Shake It Up wouldn’t be out of place in an Elvis movie with bikini clad women dancing at the clambake.

Quite the variety this week

 

[Nee Lewman]

I didn’t realize that Eno produced this.

Yeah, it wasn’t a bad one. Next week will probably be French guy, panic at the disco and more Slipknot.

Please no more Slipknot. For the love of God no more Slipknot.

Did we ever confirm if Iowa is on the list still?

Is that Slipknot?

 

[Nee Lewman]

My copy of the book only has s/t Slipknot. Korn is in there too with Follow the Leader. No ICP. Only the one Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park.

Is that Slipknot?

Iowa is a Slipknot album yes. I just wanted to confirm that it wasn't still lurking about.

I gave a rundown of all the nu-metal I can think of.

The only reason you’d ever need to listen to Limp Bizkit before you died is to make you appreciate all the other music in the world.

I think I might even appreciate that awful Fanxy Free album VMP foist on me after listening to Rollin’ or Nookie.

Fanxy Free?

I think some things are there because of cultural importance and because they are relevant to a serious conversation about music. I would have put Incubus in and been like well that’s enough numetal. lol.

 

[Nee Lewman]

I just checked, Incubus is here too.

Fancy Free. The jazz one. I can’t remember who the artist was. I’m tired and I have fat thumbs.

Deftones?
