poll: loveless or nevermind

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.

Nevermind. Hard to compare the quality, but Nevermind is the
soundtrack of my teens

An album by My Bloody Valentine. If you're a BoC-fan, you
will be surprised when you listen to it.

What if I think BoC are dogshit? Should I still give it a
listen or will I hate it?

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.

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."

[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'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.

Loveless

I'd guess Nevermind was way more influential though. Depends
on your definition of influential.

Points: 4428 Status: Addict



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)

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.

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.

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
