released mere months apart, both of these are hugely influential records, and, adding to the pointlessness of this "poll", sound nothing alike. nonetheless, which is better? my vote goes with loveless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What is loveless? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're shitting me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont know what loveless is either |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nevermind. Hard to compare the quality, but Nevermind is the soundtrack of my teens |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My Bloody Valentine, I take it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am not shitting you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
An album by My Bloody Valentine. If you're a BoC-fan, you will be surprised when you listen to it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true enough, they were an influence on boc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What if I think BoC are dogshit? Should I still give it a listen or will I hate it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Give it a listen anyway. It's very good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah, they completely went past me it's their damn name |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
both are very boring, but i'll go with loveless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nevermind kind of sucks but loveless is pretty overrated too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is a no-brainer; loveless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thethirdball > yes, try Loveless... i'm not a BoC fan at all but i really like Loveless =) ... it's a hard choice, really. good poll. none of these albums is perfect, i think Nevermind has stronger tracks than Loveless but since Loveless is more a "flow" album than a "track-by-track" album, i'm not sure how much sense this makes... and Loveless does sound more original than Nevermind... still i think i'd vote for Nevermind, but really not by far. |
||||||||
|

|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Loveless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
love them both...my vote would have to go to nevermind though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my vote goes for in utero |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know I sound like a tit but "Isn't Anything" is a much, much better album than "Loveless", and "Bleach" is a better album than "Nevermind". Out of all of them though it has to be "Isn't Anything", alright? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"whipped cream and other delights" is a much, much better album. so, out of all of them, it has to be "whipped cream and other delights." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

in utero>loveless |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
[i]Loveless[/i] over anything Nirvana ever did. [i]Nevermind[/i] is tired and I'll be damned if I can listen to it again even one more time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have to stop coming here straight from ubb boards. Sorry for the brackets. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll go with Loveless, though I don't like it as much as Ecstacy and Wine or Isn't Everything. I think Nirvana is underappreciated, though. That album holds up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like "loveless" exactly 4 trillion times better than this "nevermind" thing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Me too. Loveless fo sho' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Loveless I'd guess Nevermind was way more influential though. Depends on your definition of influential. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
loveless is far better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nevermind hit me the same time as ten |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
despite the fact that they're totally different, i still think loveless has had the more influence overall. i mean, people have been trying to duplicate that guitar sound forever. nevermind is just a glossy sounding pixies tribute record. and in utero is a steve albini produced pixies tribute record. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll be surprised if anyone in the US picks loveless... not to take anything away from the album, but nobody has heard my bloody valentine here. (yes a few have) the popularity of one vs the other is not even a contest. everyone has nevermind. i'd be surprised if there is a copy of loveless in our local record store. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
Seefeel and MBV are a closer comparison. Nirvanna and Pixies are also more apt in comparison. Give me seefeel and Pixies in both instances |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. i'm not currently in the us, but no one there has ever heard of mbv, but pretty much anyone who was atleast ten in 1991 has a copy of nevermind. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if the pixies are in a comparison, they will win. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Who are some bands that tried to emulate MBV? They don't have to be current bands. I'd like to give them a listen. (apart from M83 and the 90s shoegazer scene) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Check out Loop- some very good stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what about slowdive? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or even 'jesus and the mary chain' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, its just that guitar noise thats been persistant in alot of music. and, as said before, boc has definitely been influenced by them. i just wish kevin shields would write something. anything. his stuff on the lost in translation soundtrack was good, but i want to hear more. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll bet the Jesus and Mary Chain influenced MBV rather than the other way around, even though they both got started at around the same time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm pretty sure you're right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Gish is actually a way better album than Nevermind and I wore the pits off the cd trying to drown out every pumpkins release after it. Please dont hate me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, you just reminded me of another band that mbv influenced. thanks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think perhaps they all owe a nod to Bauhaus. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if your looking for the roots of this kind of music, pretty much any band like this is influenced by the Velvet Underground. |
||||||||
|

bauhaus are a bit underrated though, too many people just pass them off as a goth band. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bauhaus are awesome and actually turned me on to the Pixies. The Pixies opend for them (as Love and Rockets)- saw them together in 1990. Pixies absolutely blew the roof off, and I will forever admire the Bauhaus boys for having the courage to tour with them |
