No joke, I actually used to be in a metal band called Van Winkle.

I grew up listening to the Phil Collins era, and suffice to say I've become so sick of him that it's hard to make a 100% unbiased judgment.

But albums like Foxtrot, Nursery Cryme, Selling England and the Lamb (although it's a bit overrated) piss over 80s Genesis.

And that's not even considering Peter Gabriel's solo career.

My favorite band of the 80s and maybe the 90s. I really hope Thurston and Kim's divorce doesn't mean the end of the band.

In order of greatness I'd rank their stuff from the 80s/90s period as:

Daydream Nation
Sister
Dirty
Goo
Evol
Washing Machine
A Thousand Leaves
NYC Ghosts & Flowers
Bad Moon Rising
Experimental Jet Set
Confusion Is Sex

I'm not familiar enough with their 2000s material to rank it.

Music forum = Mr. Evil comes running back to ARLONG PARK

Anyway, my vote's for New Order, been listening to them a lot recently and really clicking with it.

Joy Division are also great, and had more consistent quality than NO (of course they also had a lot less material in total).

But combining both into one option? No contest.

Oh yeah, Hello Nasty is easily my favorite thing they put out in the 90s, though Paul's is still my jam.

Fuck, this is such a massive loss. I've always loved the Beasties since even before I properly delved into hip hop. Intergalactic was pretty much my first exposure to good rap.

I'll be playing Paul's Boutique tonight.

RIP

What's you guys' favorite Can album

All of their early 70s shit is great, but I'd go with Ege Bamyasi as my favorite, such a groovy album.

On the subject, does anyone else find Aumgn creepy as fuck

I grew up listening to Billy Joel; my parents were both huge fans, so this is a thread I can get behind.

The Stranger is probably my favorite album, but his entire run from Turnstiles through An Innocent Man is pretty much brilliant.

For sure one of the best pop songwriters ever.

And I've fucking seen him live.

I don't outright hate any broad genre. I can usually find something I like in any of these categories.

I will say that I agree with Zephos in finding DEATH GROWLS kind of comical though.

I guess I'll join the party then. I'd always thought Dan was an unfunny, tyrannical douche and I couldn't be happier that he's gone.

I really thought he was that influential that his actions were the forums collective anger

This is one of the reasons I rarely posted on NPC for a while, I was reluctant to express myself on certain issues because I was afraid of modfucking, mass negging, etc.
