While they're not on the same level as other bands you might think of as deserving this, while they may not be the greatest musical assembly/musicians, they are certainly the best that can fit under the name of band. Do you agree? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no. that would be slint. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If I were to curse any band with that millstone of a title it would have to be the Beatles. |

fleetmouse, I have to ask.. who is that in your avatar..? |

OH GOD yes, now I remember. I read about her and the ads, whether they were real or not ('real ads"- YEAH RIGHT!).. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I do not think so. However... I do like Slint. I from their hometown. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
She's funny. I wonder what she thinks of all the attention. There are lots of fan sites. Do people follow her around going beep beep beep? Maybe she'll deconvert and marry the Dell dude. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Slint...Hmm. Haven't heard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's pretty nice stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OOOH NOOOOO etc etc etc you should. they were a band in the late eighties, and spawned things like Tortoise, Papa M and Bonnie Prince Billy.. they were very loud and very intense. and wonderful. they only made 2 LPs (tweez and spiderland) and an untitled 12"/cd-single. you should check them out. :) |

one of the best bands of the 90s.. top 5 easily also one of the most interesting bands to ever exist |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed... beatles |
||||||||
|
|

emperor, really... they're amazing. get bbf3, moya, dead flag blues, sleep, storm... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, with a name, perchance I can get a listen in and see what we got.....wheeeeeeee |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
GYBE! is to totally amazing.....but best band in ze world......ummm thats going a bit far. they are certainly one of the most innovative and original bands out there, and thats saying a lot these days. they do are not after the multitudes of fans, but perhaps a more serious sector of the audience. they certainly have me roped in! =0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
holy shit, i d/l a few of their songs, and that shit blew my mind got to listen to it a bit more to be sure I'm down, but first impression, is very. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||

who... and huh ? |

anyone got/heard/seen a copy of godspeed's first ever album, 33 limited tape release, "all lights fucked on the hairy amp drooling"? That looks tasty - when they were a three piece. The called a song 'Steve Reich', hehe. I reckon i'd kill someone for a copy of that. And yeah, i kinda aggree with you, Godspeed made three of the most important records of the last 10-15 years. Can't wait for Yanqui. BTW, anyone noticed DJ QBert's story on that Apple 'switch' page? Fly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well I don't need to switch. I've been using Macs exclusively since '84 when I was 3. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've been using macs since this morning when i was hungover. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they played steve reich as part of their peel session recorded january 19, 1999 hung over as the queen in maida vale 1.monheim 2.chart #3 3.steve reich (note: this is good for anyone to hear, as this is the mp3 that got me into godspeed to begin with.. i now own all the in-print albums) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
id well like to hear that tape, but id reckon they only gave it to friends and stuff. rumors or whatever say that it's a bit more abrasive than the present godspeed sound. cant wait for the new album. heard some of the songs live - v. good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
GYBE! might be the best band around at the moment. Pixies are the best band ever. :^) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like the black metal band from Europe known as EMPEROR...but as far as GYBE...never heard them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nope |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the pixies are dead! long live the pixies! |
||||||||
|
|

|
slow riot for new zero kanada is amazing, i never get tired of listening to it...it's too good! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've been listening to the first disc of 'lift yr. skinny fists like atennas to heaven!" since it came out. Hasn't left my cd changer once. Does anyone else like Molasses? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
titsworth, thanks for that mp3. gybe is definately one of the best bands ever. cabbog how is molassess, ive been meaning to check them, hrsta, 1 speed bike and fly pan am out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like f#a# infinity and slow riot better than lift yr skinny fists but that one is excellent as well. i like theyre spoken word bits on the government and end of the world more than the ones on lift. i want yanqui uxo real bad. that and sigur ros's new album i want most right now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
speaking of slint, i just won Tweez on ebay for $4. how does that 1 compare to spiderland? Good morning captain is so damn good, i wish i wrote it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so when's their new album out ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyone into Lungfish? a track off pass and stow (track 10 if i remember, sounds pretty similar to good morning captain) lungfish are on dischord records for the uninformed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
November 12th in usa, i think nov 4th or around there in uk. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, as long as the Beatles exist (and they'll exist long after all others have been forgotten), nobody else is going to be the ''best band ever''. But GYBE! is definitely amazing, and I wouldn't be too opposed to them winning the title of ''best band NAME ever''. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea i like lungfish. do they have any new music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well necrophones is the latest release from lungfish, which is a year or so old. the pupils album is pretty new and i like it, very minimal. only guitar and vocals and limited drumming. it got very awful reviews but I found it a rather interesting cd. its different from lungfish but good in a different way. to answer your question i believe that the pupils will tour and then lungfish will begin making their new album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I also would like to see all lights fucked on the hairy amp drooling...sounds very weird to me...I'm guessing it's probably like ASMZ; shorter less complex stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think Molasses is good. In terms of sound it's not much like any of the other GYBE! sideprojections.. It's oppressed folk music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
GREATEST band ever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never herd of them or any of their music... doubt its all that good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I regret they use the same 'recipe' for each song. Building slowly the melody to a peak at middle length and then slowly decaying. The same format for each song. I think Fly Pan Am are more innovative in this way. I'd really like to see GY!BE live. Anyone have been to one of their gigs ? |
||||||||
|

gybe will be talked about in 20 or 30 years because as so many of you have mentioned their creativity is to hard to ignore. gybe is our king crimson. imo anyway. Low is another band that I believe will be talked about in 20 or 30 years. however my favorite band right now has got to be american analog set. I saw in 1999 in the summer and I've been hooked since. I believe our Nick Drake is Mark Kozelek of the Red House Painters. the beatles will probably never give up the title of best band of all time though. not that I like them that as much as most people do. |
||||||||

|
|
eeh... i... i have a mac and i like it... it doesn't do beepbeepbeepbeepbeep... but it plays nice mp3s... and... well... i don't like pcs, you see. windows is bad and ugly. best band ever? i don't know, i haven't heard all of them so far. |
||||||||

|
|
um.. no |
